Emma's teaching is centered on the idea that yoga is for every body. She is a certified 500 hour yoga teacher and graduate of the Urban Zen Integrative Therapy Program, founded by Donna Karan alongside Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman-Yee in New York City. As part of the Urban Zen network she learns from leaders in the fields of medicine, contemplative care, restorative yoga, essential oil therapy, meditation, and Reiki. Emma combines these modalities for a deeply relaxing experience in her Yoga and Integrative Therapy sessions for patients and staff at Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center. Her mission is to help you find ease on and off the mat.
integrative modalities
These sessions combine yoga, meditation, Reiki and aromatherapy to refresh your mind and body.
“Integrative Therapy has become an important support for physical and spiritual progress. I honor my commitment to meet with Emma no matter what is going on in my life. It is ‘my time’ with no exception. Together we discuss the areas of my body that need gentle stretching and attention. We accomplish this together. I do my homework. It really helps encourage me. We do meditative breathing to focus on being present to the moment. It allows me to experience peace.” – Judith, client
restorative
This yoga practice is ideal for people recovering from illness or injury or anyone seeking complete relaxation.
“Emma’s classes have been, as she calls it, restorative. I’ve found strength not only from the movements she has me and my classmates do, but also from her nurturing encouragement.”
– Annette, client
meditation
In these sessions, you'll learn how your breath offers a pathway to calm and clarity.
“Over the past weeks of coming to the meditation sessions, I have experienced having more energy, relaxation, and awareness throughout my body. Emma provides a positive and welcoming atmosphere that encourages participants who may not be familiar with Integrative Therapy to open themselves to a new experience. I am more attentive in the afternoon and feel more positive about life and I think anyone can benefit.” –Tresalynn, client
reiki
A Japanese energy balancing technique that releases tension, creating peace in the body.
“Emma’s extensive knowledge of and familiarity with chakras gave a peaceful flow to each session. Her willingness to listen with humor and compassion to the brain babble released during each session was helpful and appreciated long after the session’s end. Emma’s ability to adapt each session to my immediate needs on any particular day is something I’m not sure could be taught—her calming and reassuring voice most certainly could not be.” –Michael, client
aromatherapy
Essential oils enhance the practice by stimulating the senses and targeting specific symptoms for real relief.
“Attending group classes has been very beneficial for me. It has given me the opportunity to de-stress and recharge for the workday. The simple movements and stretches Emma teaches are of great importance to relax the body while the meditations strengthen me mentally. She always finds a way to make the group feel comfortable and the essential oils are amazing!” –Carolina, client
