Emma Gourlie
Hello, I'm Emma, the owner of Soma & Soul Movement. I have been practicing yoga for over a decade and teaching since 2019. I live in Cranbrook, B.C and when I’m not teaching Yoga you can find me with my husband, three sons and two puppies.
My passion lies deeply in the principles of Restorative and Yin yoga, with a touch of somatics, to foster healing through stillness. In my classes, the emphasis is listening to the needs of the body, providing choice within postures and building a profound connection with oneself.
​
I am passionate about following the threads of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, which provide a blueprint for deeper insight into our inner landscape by exploring the natural world around us. I firmly believe that being in a community is essential for our well-being, and what better way to connect with others than on a retreat!
​
For the past eight years, I have organized events and retreats in my local community. I am excited to have expanded into destination retreats. I can't wait to meet you and go on this journey together in Italy!
