One night, when Emily K. Benaron and her husband went out to dinner, they rescued a dog on their way home. Already having two dogs of their own, they couldn’t keep it, but she took the dog to the vet and urgently sent messages to friends and family searching for a perfect home.
This anecdote illustrates how benevolent and warm-hearted Emily is. A most empathetic person, Emily has been my yoga teacher, massage therapist, and overall well-being coach for the past five years of my life, which have been my healthiest. Even on the worst rainy days, her smile and positive outlook will warm you up.
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening at Yoga Soup, she teaches a terrific class called Weekly Wind-Down, where she blends alignment-focused yoga with corrective exercise, massage, breathing, and meditation, all with an emphasis on self-care. This month, Yoga Soup is celebrating its 10th anniversary and will be offering free yoga to celebrate from April 4 to 9. So now you have no excuse not to try out Emily’s amazing class!
