Emily Kuzmick, instructor

Emily Kuzmick

Emily is an ecologist, artist, and yoga instructor, teaching both environmental/sustainable concepts and yoga/meditation instruction. Having practiced yoga for over a decade and teaching since 2018, she strives to make intuitive movement and breathing accessible to all, which is one of the reasons she tends to refer to her teachings as ‘breathwork & mobility.’ She believes we live in a society that has, unfortunately, sensationalized many aspects of the yogic practice, unintentionally isolating those who might need the practice the most. Rather than focusing on poses curated for social media ‘likes,’ she tends to lead a more gentle practice that targets specific parts of the body & mind from which each individual might personally benefit. Emily currently lives in Sandusky with her partner and their plethora of animals. You can learn more about Emily and her offerings at https://emkuznature.com.
