Shawna Emerick (she/they) is a trauma informed yoga instructor with well over 1,000 hours of certifications and over 21 years of teaching. She is a Thai massage therapist, Life Coach for Transformation, and an integrative somatic healer who comes from a B.S. in Dance.

She is passionate about supporting others' healing and drawing out their Inner Wisdom in order to live from their most authentic place of heart. Currently, she teaches yoga online, has a private practice office in NYC, offers one-on-one 'A.L.I.G.N.' sessions, runs local and international retreats, and has completed the Mindfulness Meditation Teaching Certificate with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach(Jan. 2025).

She comes from multiple lineage lines of heart-centered healers, givers, and hard workers and is grateful, humbled, and honored to be carrying on the traditions in her own unique ways. Shawna could not do any of this without the support of her partner, two children, and dog! Her most recent expansion is being on the executive board of Three and a Half Acres Yoga; a non-profit that brings trauma informed yoga and mindfulness to many underserved communities.
