Emily Hurr

Massage Therapist, 500 Hour Yoga Instructor

Purna Yoga East

Emily came to yoga, like a number of others, to help manage stress and maintain energy during her first year of teaching middle school. An intermittent student at first, she soon decided to make a greater commitment to improving her health and finding more balance in her life. She knew that regular yoga practice would hold the key for her to create the kind of evolution she was seeking. Taking classes at Purna Yoga East, Emily felt encouraged and welcomed by the positive energy and soothing environment there. Her interest in yoga as a discipline and philosophy quickly grew, and she made the decision to enroll in the 200 Hour Purna Yoga Teacher Training Program. She graduated from the program in December 2011, and is excited about sharing the beautiful practice she has learned.
