Emi Smith
ISHTA / Vinyasa Yoga Instructor
Born and raised in Tokyo, Emi was first introduced to Yoga after she moved to the United States in her 20s. She always loved how Yoga made her feel after yoga class but didn’t understand why then. It wasn’t until much later that she fully recognized the benefits of Yoga in her physical and mental state through asana, pranayama, and meditation practice.
In 2014, Emi began studying ISHTA Yoga’s individualized approach and its integration of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda under Kumiko Mack.
She now enjoys sharing her love of Yoga with others and continues her Yoga Journey. She is also a breast cancer survivor and a mom of two teenagers.
