Hi, I'm Emily Rose
Certified Yoga Personal Trainer,
Empowerment Coach, & Teacher
The true power of yoga presented itself to me at the exact “wrong” moment.
​
Even though I had been practicing on and off for years, it wasn’t until 2014 that I found myself on my mat, over 300 lbs., and frankly - losing my sh*t. That day’s flow had been intense and challenging, bringing up so many familiar self-doubts and frustrations. Feeling my body and mind crying out for change, I made it my mission to rewrite my story. I relentlessly pursued the notion that YES, even I was worthy of happiness and health.
I started studying meditation and the law of attraction, which lead me down a path of deep self-discovery.
It wasn’t easy or pretty. It was messy and muddy and sometimes overwhelming, but I made it to the other side, using yoga as a tool to break through physical and mental barriers that had haunted me for years. I knew I wanted to empower others to do the same. I wrote down in my journal “I want to be a fearless yoga teacher,” and that’s exactly what I’ve set out to do ever since.
I completed my 200hr certification in 2018 and never looked back. I’ve crammed a lot of yoga goodness over the years; teaching everything from goat yoga to moon classes, experiencing big dreams coming true (owning a studio), taking on streaming from my garage, and completing my 500hr training and Trauma Informed Certification in 2022. I’m grateful for every second!
Shifting away from the studio in 2021, I started Emily Rose Yoga & Co. as a way to keep sharing my passion to bring more mindfulness, ease, and empowerment into the world. I’m proud and honored to teach people of all mobilities, ages, and personal circumstances. I get to help students tap into their authentic power and approach life’s curveballs with an open, observational mindset. It’s the best job in the world.

Outside of EmRoYoCo, I work as a Prospect Research Analyst for the University of Iowa in Iowa City. My daughter and I spend time cooking, writing music, and making TikToks (which I pretend to understand). I’m a natural-born seeker, adventurer, and learner; embracing
a life full of wonder and joy.
Thank you for being on this journey with me!
