About
Wild Daughter Yoga was a dream I didn't know I had. The name has been on my heart for ages, but the rest? Well, when the time is right, you just know.
Welcome! I'm Emma
I am the founder and creator of Wild Daughter Yoga, a faith-driven yogini, and a 200hr (soon to be 500hr) Certified Yoga Teacher from Cleveland, Oh. But I am also a professional dancer and actress, artist, plant lover, bookworm, dog mom, adventurer, hiking, biking, paddle boarding hippie gal who would choose mountains over beaches any day. And yes, I'm pretty much obsessed with yoga!
​
While I just started this new venture with Wild Daughter Yoga, it is my dream to get out of the 9-5 job world, have the freedom to live on the road, enjoying nature, following acting gigs and living through my Wild Daughter mission, serving all of you. It means the world to me that you are here, sharing your time with me and being a part of the Wild Daughter Crew.
Why Wild Daughter?
Wild Daughter Yoga is more than a business; it's a mission. After completing my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in 2021, I knew that I was going to be more than a once-a-week yoga instructor. This practice changed my life, and all I want to do is share it.
​
As a Catholic, I recognize that Christians are often cautioned against yoga, for a variety of reasons. After completing my YTT, I heard God calling me to the practice more strongly than ever. I knew that it was important for me to share this practice, make it accessible for all, and teach others how to incorporate it into their lives.
​
So there it was, my mission in life: To bring yoga to all, regardless of your walk of life, to help people, especially women, find healing, creativity, strength, and a deeper connection to God and their truest selves through yoga.
​
I had been throwing ideas around in my head for different ways to do this, but ultimately, Wild Daughter Yoga was born on a whim, in the form of a podcast that I started about 24 hours after first having the idea. I have always been a spontaneous person, what can I say? The podcast is only the beginning. There is a lot more planned for Wild Daughter Yoga!
​
So here I am, still just a sprout, looking forward to growing tall and blooming bright. I cannot wait to see the fruit that Wild Daughter Yoga will yield. I invite you to join me on the journey, and see how yoga can change your life for the better, too!
The Wild Daughter Story
The name came to me a few years ago when I first started thinking about becoming a yoga teacher on the road (you can read more about that story here). I knew that if I ever pursued that dream, this would be the name. While I'm not quite on the road yet and concept has changed, the name was actually perfect for this mission. God knew what was in my future and put these words on my heart, planting the seeds for the journey.
​
Because you see, we are all children, navigating this human experience. I am a daughter, and I encourage others to join me as we navigate self-improvement, the search for creativity and joy, and healing. And wild? Well, that's just me: spontaneous, brave, unique, natural, wild. Finding your wild side is really just finding who you TRULY are. We go against the grain, we follow different paths, and we sometimes blaze new ones. It's who we are as Wild Daughters.
