Beginning again as a teacher in a new city is humbling.

There’s so much gatekeeping.

There’s so much ghosting by studios.

There’s so much proving to do, even with 14 years of teaching experience and multiple certifications.

Like most things, the yoga world seems to be becoming more about *who* we know than *what* we know.

As I begin to find my place in the teaching world here in Vegas, I’m practicing discernment, trying to understand how trust and credibility are built, and where the hidden gems are: the studios that offer more than just watered down asana and pay their instructors well, that are open to bringing on an experienced and qualified teacher.

You’d think that would be a given, but I’m beginning to see that experience can be threatening to some, too.

I’m seeking alignment, not just any teaching gig.
I’m seeking depth, not just the flashy and shiny.
I’m seeking real community that values connection, not just transactions.

It’s been eye-opening to witness, to discern, to be passed over for the less-experienced but known.

In many ways it seems that much of the yoga world is afraid to do what it is this very practice asks us to do: to begin again, to embrace the unknown, to try something new.

This is my wishing tree.

Whenever I walk (which is most days), I stop at this tree in the park behind our house.

Some days I make a wish:

⭐️ a wish for healing for friends and family who are going through it right now

⭐️ a wish for an end to the atrocities happening in our country and in our world

⭐️ a wish for my and our future

Some days, I whisper my gratitude:

⭐️ for nature

⭐️ for all the blessings in my life

⭐️ for the beauty that shines through, if only we pay attention enough to notice it

This tree. Steady. Wise. Weathering it all.

A safe place to offer it up and call it in.

A source of grounding in a chaotic world.

A connection that makes a world of difference.

I wish for you to find your 🌳, too.

I saw a yoga teacher post the other day, leading with the fact that she was a bestselling author, only to then say that unless we as teachers, are confident that we know what to say right now, that we shouldn’t say anything at all. We should simply “trust the yoga”.

First of all, no.

Yoga is a practice of feeling more, not numbing out.

Yoga is a practice of iteration and integration, not perfection.

Yoga is a practice of moving through the human experience.

Part of what gives the practice depth is the journey it takes us on into our hearts.

Anjali mudra. The mudra of connection and reverence for our hearts and what lies within.

Our hearts, where we feel and process and attempt to integrate all that’s happening in our world so that we can emerge more present, more resourced, more engaged.

Teaching is about holding space, yes, but it’s also about inviting depth BEYOND asana.

It’s about modeling what it means to show up and NOT know the perfect thing to say but to say what is on and in our hearts at the moment.

It’s about educating and remembering that this practice is not an escape from our lives, it’s just as much a part of it as everything else.

We build and alchemize and process and integrate it on our mats, so we can take it with us - so we can speak up with more conviction, so we can act with more intention, so we can engage with more clarity.

So please, don’t take her advice and sit this one out unless you are “confident” in your voice. To do so would be antithetical to the practice.

I end most of my classes with a reminder that we build it here, on the mat, so we can take it with us.

It’s a reminder that our practice is not separate from our life, but a part of it.

It’s fertile ground for listening, learning, and exploring.

What are you building on your mat today or this week?

Let's be real...the holidays aren't always restful, especially if you're hosting family, have the kids home from school, or are traveling.

Now that 2026 is here, it's time to shore up your reserves for the year ahead. Time to take advantage of the slower pace and call to go inward that winter provides, so you can start the year renewed and resourced.

That's why you're invited to join me on Sunday, 1/25 from 9:30am-2:30pm at The Fox Den Wellness for The Wisdom of Winter - A One-Day Retreat.

We'll spend the day tapping into the wisdom of winter through:

- a morning active asana class to build heat
- a sauna and optional face bath experience for those who want to experience contrast therapy
- enjoying a nourishing lunch together as a community
- a mindful walk through the woods around the property
- afternoon mini-restorative session and journaling
- closing circle

There are 6 spots left, so if saying "yes" to this sounds like something you want / need, you can learn more and sign up here: www.emilyflemingyoga.com/events

Winter get’s a bad rap, but this season of hibernation can provide us with so much wisdom is we make the time to slow down, listen, and honor it.

Winter is a season of going inward, of connecting with nature and ourselves, of shoring up our reserves so that we emerge in the spring with clarity of vision and embodiment of spirit.

Now that we’re through the holidays, we can actually take the time to get quiet, to listen, to rest, without the added distractions of holiday parties, gift shopping, and all the other ways the holiday seasons pulls our energy outwards.

Through movement, contrast therapy, journaling, and time in nature, we’ll tap into the wisdom of winter to nurture our minds, bodies, and spirits.

Our day at is designed to help us tap into the Wisdom of Winter and emerge feeling renewed.

The wisdom of winter awaits - are you ready to experience all it has to offer?!
