Emily Brown, Mindful Curves Yoga:
What began as a journey to lift myself from depression and binge eating disorder, has become a personal mission to encourage people of all walks to feel comfortable and confident in the body they are in. I have been practicing massage therapy in Seattle, WA since 2005 and am appreciated by my clients for muscle specific, therapeutic work and thoughtful self-care which extends the benefit of each visit. After practicing yoga for 15 years and 200 hours of training, in 2015, I began teaching yoga classes for other bodyworkers and caregivers. You will find my classes to be adaptive, welcoming, playful and anatomy specific. I am super excited to move from Washington state to Washington DC in order to share my passion with the people of this nation's capitol!

In my personal life, in combination with my strong personal practice of yoga, I practices QiGong, pilates, love to rollerskate and grow organic herbs and vegetables. I have a strong personal study of natural health and supplements, much of which was gained during 3 years of work at a local Seattle supplement chain that encouraged self-study.

"Every day I strive to be a little more whole, a little more balanced and a lot more well. Wellness is a journey with many stops along the way."
