Emly Kay - Ashtanga Yoga Teacher

Emly believes that natural environments are ideal spaces to approach healing. Even spending 3 to 5 minutes in nature can significantly decrease stress, reduce anger and fear, and increase pleasant feelings. This emotional calming can be achieved by providing clients with the opportunity to physically connect with nature. Through various activities Emly utilizes the outdoors to help clients open their physical and emotional selves for a healthy healing process and a fuller life experience. Treatment Philosophy: The remoteness of nature provides clients with little to hide behind and focuses their energies in such a way that intervention is focused on the areas that are present. The client will often unconsciously recreate, however subtly, the same type of relationships, patterns, symptoms and dynamics he/she does in their daily life. While observing these characteristics, Emly can help the client first see the problem in this new light, and then help change the behavior. Nature can feel foreign to most clients and even sometimes challenging the experienced hiker. Using specific approaches and techniques, Emly can help clients build a new sense of confidence and strength that carries into other areas of life. Example of activities:
- Yoga classes: Group or private
- Build trust and confidence with oneself by rock climbing in the Judean Desert.
- Learn how to listen deeply to your environment and to yourself on desert night hikes.
- Connect with nature and your body through practicing yoga in the forest. Emly's practice is based in Israel, a country that offers individuals and groups to connect to beautiful scenery. Emly Oren has a certificate in Nature Therapy, is a certified Yoga Teacher, and has a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. She also holds certifications in Wilderness First Responder (WFR), CPR, and First Aid.
