Emily Kiefer (she/her)

Emily is a yoga and pilates teacher in Chicago facilitating a modern approach to ancient practices. She began practicing yoga in 2011 after being diagnosed with a chronic disease. She turned to yoga as a way to not only build strength and flexibility, but to provide a sense of calm and inner peace that she was missing. After discovering the transformative effect of yoga herself, it was a no-brainer to get trained to teach it to others. Emily’s approach to teaching yoga honors the traditions while incorporating modern techniques inspired by various modalities. She is grounded in the belief that everyone can use the lessons learned on the mat as a microcosm for navigating life’s challenges.

Off the mat, Emily is a traveling homebody. You’ll find her reading a new romantasy, at a local brewery with her husband and pittie baby, or exploring a new place around the world. She always has her next trip planned, so ask her where she’s headed next when you see her in the studio!
