Emilie Cook (owner) Experienced Yoga Instructor with Yoga Alliance, E-RYT200, RYT500
I came to yoga over 24 years ago when I stepped foot into my first yoga class. Yoga became an immediate and lasting influence in my life. I practiced yoga faithfully for the next decade and through all three of my pregnancies. I have studied with Gary Kraftsow, Joe Taft, Michael Johnson, Doug Keller, Libby Hensley, and Kathryn Budig. The physical benefits of yoga and the mental peace that I experienced during my practice eventually led me to
receive my 200 hour certification from Peachtree Yoga Center in Atlanta. I have been teaching several classes every week since 2007.
My teaching style is a combination of the Iyengar and Vinyasa style. With heavy emphasis on breath awareness and proper alignment. I am a certified, registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance, as well as a certified prenatal yoga instructor. I have experience with pilates, thi chi, and yin yoga. I have taught yoga for kids, prenatal, restorative, senior, yoga for athletes and gentle yoga. My heart lies with gentle yoga and my teaching reflects that. I recently attended an extensive weekend workshop with Gary Kraftsow, where I honed my yoga as therapy skills. Above all I believe yoga should feel good. I always strive to have you leave my classes feeling better than when you came. And I believe yoga should be fun so be aware you may have to endure my silly yoga jokes! I completed my Yoga Therapeutics Training at The Asheville Yoga Center in 2017. I am now a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500 hour level with an emphasis in yoga as therapy.

Kriss Wasel 200 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher A student of yoga for over 15 years, I was first attracted to the practice as a part of a physical fitness routine but I found my true passion for yoga during a time of intense turmoil that threatened to turn my world upside down. The comfort and strength I found in yoga provided me the tools I needed to put the pieces of my life back together and find growth both in spirit and in body. It is this healing journey that inspires me to guide others. My goal as a yoga teacher is to offer students a space for self-healing, mental clarity, and occasional laughter. I received my 200 hour RYT through North Georgia Yoga Center and I am currently continuing the journey as a student in the 300 hour advanced teaching training program. |
Please help me welcome Bethany Lord to the studio!
Bethany has taught group fitness and yoga since 2014. She received her 200RYT In 2018 thru Flip Your Dog Yoga. A word from Bethany: Yoga saved my life and I love sharing this powerful practice with others. My classes are playful but powerful. I encourage a childlike exploration of not just the physical but mental side of your practice. I am forever a student and currently in my 300hr YTT, looking to be 500hr certified by early next year. I am married with two kids. While not yogaing I enjoy spending my time outdoors; hiking, attempting to garden (any green thumbs please help me), and the lake. |
