Emily Trenkner

I began practicing yoga in the dorms at UW-Madison. No one I knew was into yoga, and no one introduced me to it. I began teaching myself in a community room, where the girls on my floor couldn't find me: I was a closet yogi. I didn't really know why I liked yoga so much, I just knew I liked it a whole lot better than what everyone else was doing.

Eventually I saw the benefits of my yoga practice outweigh those of my harried life. Yoga was the only way I could feel content where I was. Yoga brought me peace of mind, and a sense of being at home in my body. Yoga made things seem not quite so bad. I realized I owed it to myself and to those around me to live a life filled with peace and joy.

Yoga gives us the tools to live to the highest good. I hope to share what I've learned in a peaceful environment, supporting each student on his/her path to self-awareness and contentment. The opportunity to teach is truly a blessing.
