EMILY VENDEMMIA

Emily discovered yoga in 2005. She began taking classes at a local studio. At first, she would join class twice a week, but within six months, she was practicing every single day and sneaking out of work early to catch sessions. That’s when she realized that yoga had become the most important thing in her life.  She enrolled in a 9-week Yoga Teacher Training in 2006. Emily started teaching professionally immediately after graduation and she now teaches and owns her own studio True Moon Yoga. She has created multiple unique classes.  Emily's approach to yoga remains ever focused on the balance between strength and flexibility, exertion, and release. Her classes focus on Vinyasa Flow, and fusion classes (HIIT with yoga). You can expect to move, sweat, and breathe. She also specializes in handstand training.
