Welcome to My Yoga Place!
Located in Shelby, NC
Thank you for visiting! I’m Emily, and I’ve been teaching yoga, fitness, and personal training for over 26 years. Helping people feel stronger, move more freely, and reconnect with their bodies has been one of the greatest joys of my career.
In 2020, I closed my yoga studio in West Virginia and relocated to Shelby, North Carolina, where I found the perfect setting to create My Yoga Place. Nestled on five private, wooded acres along the First Broad River, you'll find a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.
I offer private and small group yoga sessions designed to help you build confidence, consistency, and lasting results.
Current Availability
While my home is undergoing renovations, I am currently only offering private yoga sessions.

Private yoga classes instructed according to your individuals needs.
Price is $60 per sessions.
Available Monday-Saturday 10am-6pm at your convenience.
Call or Text Emily at 704-419-0941 to schedule.
What to Bring
Just wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. I provide yoga mats and all the equipment you’ll need—simply arrive ready to relax, move, and enjoy yourself.

Since My Yoga Place is also my animal loving home expect to get some free pet therapy while you're here! I have 30 or so beautiful white doves which I use for my White Dove Release service here in Shelby (Check out my website A Dove Above) as well as our beloved family cats and dogs. The white doves are incredibly therapeutic to be around. They free fly daily around the property and it's a real treat to be around their gentle grace. All of our animals are friendly but if you have pet allergies or just aren't animal crazy like we are, then please let me know in advance and we can minimize any interaction.
