Yoga Teacher

Emma

Emma is a passionate hot yoga instructor who believes strongly in the healing powers of mindful breath and intentional movement to transform both the body and mind. Her classes have an equal blend of fire and flow, each perfectly designed to inspire presence and reconnect you to your body while reminding you of your inner light.

She was once a gymnast and is always excited by a good challenge. A more recent challenge she faced was breaking her back, limiting her ability to do any movement. After relearning how to walk, she began to introduce movements like yoga into her routine, something that would forever change the way she views fitness. She wholeheartedly understands how it feels to be physically limited, something she has overcome, leaving her committed to showing others how they can turn something dark into light. She reminds you to never take movement for granted and be grateful for the journey you are on.

After practicing at Radiant Hot Yoga for almost three years, she has learned the power of combining heat, strength, and fun, in a way that will allow you to push your limits while understanding when to take it slow. You can expect a motivating rhythm of music in each class with an energy that moves you to show yourself what you are capable of. Her main priority is to create a space where students, no matter what stage they are in their journey, feel encouraged and inspired to meet themselves exactly where they are, one breath, one movement, and one class at a time.

“Strong Body, Strong Mind”

Difficult but extremely satisfying class, Aeja and the Radiant team and facility are fantastic.

I consider myself a regular!

Aeja always pushes me to try harder!

Smaller class tonight and it was amazing energy.

I really enjoyed the flow of tonight’s class with Aeja!

It’s an incredible balance between strength, stretch, and endurance. I feel so centered within myself and with the community that was there in the studio.

Aeja was the instructor and she was amazing!

Great class, as usual!

Yogi

Great hot yoga.

Fast flow, great pump jams during Vinyasa. Just hard enough, with appropriate cool down breaks. This class is an experience!! I’ll be back.

Yogi

Will definitely go back – great way to finish the week!

First time in a long time doing hot yoga. Very welcoming – encouraged to be aware of own body, take breaks or modifications as needed, and hydrate. Loved that people around me actually did this in between some bada$$ poses. The point was to stick around in the room for the 60 min, so do what you can. I liked that it was challenging so I could push as wanted/dared and then modify or chill as needed.

As someone who has NEVER done yoga or group fitness classes, I LOVE Aeja and Emily’s classes!!

My friend bought me a pass and I was hesitant to use it but the classes are amazing! My first class was with Aeja. Aeja’s class was great for a first timer because it was not intimidating and she was very intentional about making sure everyone had a positive experience.

I love radiant hot yoga classes because it’s atypical for yoga. It combines yoga with upbeat music and cardio! I can calm my mind while getting in an intense workout!

Aeja and Emily’s classes are underrated! I highly recommend attending their classes!
