Testimonials

“Emma’s classes are the perfect retreat for those of us who are looking for an hour long escape from this noisy universe we live in. Her sessions are the perfect blend of meditation, focus, strength, core, and balance. At the end, you will have a feeling of rebirth with a cleanse on your mind and soul. Emma is also just a lovely human who lives her life with intention and inclusiveness. She is a joy to be around which is why I’ve followed her from her studio in Oakland, to pandemic classes on zoom, and soon to her retreat in Baja! Could not recommend Emma more to any yogi no matter the level of their journey. And her music slaps!”

“An Emma Stern yoga class is much more than 60 minutes of yoga - it is an experience of acceptance, healing, growth and fun. Emma’s warmth and humor cultivate an environment where her students feel comfortable in their practice while also learning how to deepen their practice. Her classes perfectly balance the intensity of an advanced vinyasa flow class with calmness and stillness, leaving you feeling both invigorated and relaxed. Emma’s love for yoga and her students is evident in the care she dedicates to her thoughtful flows and perfectly planned playlists. Attending one of Emma’s classes is the greatest gift you can give yourself. I am beyond grateful to have Emma in my life as both a yoga teacher and friend!”

“Emma has a uniquely creative and powerful style. Emma’s enthusiasm and joy of teaching are infectious.  I’ve only felt better and more aware of what my body can and cannot do by taking her classes, whether gentle or challenging. Emma turns challenges into play. She has such a wonderful bright personality. She is truly supportive of her students, professionally and passionately. It’s clear how knowledgeable and aware of body mechanics and the emotional voices that we all have during Yoga. She is able to communicate with everyBODY in a way that is empowering and uplifting both emotionally and physically. Her courageous authenticity and motivation is an inspiration. I've had the fortune to participate in her workshops and teacher training over the years.  She's been an invaluable mentor and guide in my own Yoga journey. I cannot recommend her enough. Emma has a way of turning those poses you fear into pure fun and a way of making you want to be better on and off the mat. Her radiant spirit shines through her classes in person and on-screen and leaves a fire in your heart and your muscles that keep you coming back for more!”
