Im Emilie Maynor, a Wellness Coach and Yoga Instructor living in Birmingham, Alabama. This website is a space for all things yoga, food, travel, and helping you create a more balanced life. My yoga practice began eleven years ago and I have been teaching for over seven years. Yoga had barely made its way to the south when I started practicing, but... has since grown in our community extensively. I spent five years as the Senior Events Manager at Junior Achievement and taught yoga as a side project. During that time, I experienced a complete life and diet overhaul and discovered how important yoga, nutrition and self-care are to a joyful, balanced life. In my time at JA, I worked with several corporate companies and got a clear picture of how people struggle with taking care of themselves on a daily basis. It sparked something inside mea drive to help, educate, and facilitate programs that encourage people to learn how to easily assimilate wellness into their busy daily lives. So in 2013, I left my full-time job and launched my individual coaching and yoga practice. Over the past four years, I have expanded my business and now offer corporate wellness speaking engagements, corporate yoga programs, online nutrition challenges, yoga festivals, retreats, and Yoga Alliance CEU training programs. After completing my 300-Hour Training in Bali in 2016, I am now certified to share Elemental Yoga Therapy. Elemental living is a way of reconnecting with our innate source of vitality and satisfaction. Its not complicated. Its about taking small, simple steps and embracing a process of refinement rather than addition. We are all energetic beings, and when we approach everyday life from that perspectivethrough food, movement, mindfulness, and living in accordance with the seasonswe can truly claim the grounded, rich lives we crave.Read More
