Emma Räsänen is a Helsinki-based yoga teacher who teaches classes both in her hometown and abroad. She did her first RYT200h training in Authentic Flow and Yin with Satu Tuomela and Kaisa Kärkkäinen. Emma sees the yoga practice to be as much as on the mat as in everywhere we go and this has since took her to get certified to teach for example Aerial Yoga and SUP Yoga. Her true love is facilitating her yearly retreats in picture perfect locations where people come together to create Magic together. Her practice is inspired by music, dance and the delicate beauty of the human body and everyday life. Her classes are always creative and intuitive and she encourages her students to always stay curious. Her way of delivering her message is gentle and her views as seeing the body as a vessel allow the student to observe themselves neutrally and to find compassion and grace inside their own selves.

​

”I see the body as a work of art and practice is the lens we get to experience it through. Every time we step onto the mat we have the opportunity to see ourselves from a different angle, notice a different shade. For me in facilitating the classes it is most important that each individual is able to experience and honor the practice from where they stand at that time.”

​

Emma has studied over 300 hours with master teachers and constantly gets inspired by new teacher training and workshops so her way of delivering her message stays fresh. At the moment she loves to explore the contrasting world between the structure and alignment of Katonah Yoga and Embodied Yoga style somatic and intuitive movement.
