Brief Personal Bio
Emmy grew up in the Catskill
Mountains region of New York State. As a young adult she earned a BA in Biology, and traveled solo, for more than two years, around the world spending
much time in Asia. After settling in Boston, MA she
studied the cultures and languages of China and Japan and returned to
both countries several times. Having a life-long
love for theatre she spent much of her spare time both on the stage
and working backstage. She studied shiatsu massage and began a private practice working from her Cambridge, MA apartment.
For 15 years she worked in the field of epidemiologic research at the
Harvard School of Public Health where she earned a MS degree. Prior
to her 40th birthday, she gave in to a strong desire to connect to
the earth in a more meaningful way and to live a more sustainable
lifestyle. She left her job and began a two-year journey across
the United States that finally led her to Port Townsend, WA where she and
her new-found partner Adam began a life as organic farmers. At
age 42 she gave birth to her lovely daughter, Aurora in Port
Townsend. In March 2011 Emmy and her family moved to Ashland, Oregon where Adam is farming, Aurora is in school and Emmy edits scientific manuscripts and is happy to be teaching Kundalini Yoga. She
loves teaching yoga and invites you to attend her class.
An unsolicited recommendation of Ms. Emmy Graham:
ReplyDeleteI have had the incredible joy of knowing Emmy for more than a decade. Emmy truly embodies what it means, in the parlance of the path of Kundalini yoga, to be a Graceful Woman. She is profoundly wise, insightful, compassionate, warm and generous of heart. Emmy is strong and clear, honest and true in every way. She is modest and humble, artfully articulate and well-spoken, and has a fabulously intelligent mind and delightful, quick sense of humor. Emmy's devotion to her loved ones runs hand-in-hand with her profound devotion to her yogic path. To study yoga with her would be a huge privilege and treat -- if you live in the area -- Get Thee to her classes! Sat Nam!
