Emily Kathryn Yoga & Coaching

Sometimes clients find the best words to describe our work together! 💛✨

She was talking through the feeling of being stuck on the hamster wheel of life and now she knows exactly how to shake that feeling.

The things you will learn on your healing journey far exceed your expectations, that I’m certain of.

Full moon inspiration from

Chronic traumatic stress changes the way your brain and body perceive the people and world around you.

Feeling hopeless about stress can happen and there is a solution.

💥💥 Strategy sessions are 50% off through Friday.

Let’s chat about how to turn it around. You’ll leave with a clear plan to optimize stress management, elevate self-care, and improve the quality of your sleep —> even if your circumstances remain unchanged!

Even if the holidays are a blissful, 100% welcome occasion for you, they are guaranteed to add to your stress 😵‍💫

​

How would it feel to have tools at your disposal for managing that stress, so that

a.) you can be fully present for the pleasant things, and

b.) you are prepared to protect your energy in the less desirable situations and conversations

I can help you with just that at my upcoming workshop, Meditation 101.

We meet tomorrow at 6pm online. There’s still time to register.

Meditation has the power to improve your mental, physical, and emotional health.

You run around all day thinking, thinking, thinking. When you’re finally able to hop in bed, guess what wakes you up? Your thoughts!

Learn how to befriend your brain by giving it focused attention, rather than trying to silence it - bc we know that doesn’t work 🙃

So many benefits of meditation. These are just a few.

Imagine reducing the toll of stress on your body? What impact would that make on your life, your work?

Would you be interested in improving your health by simply spending a few minutes with your thoughts each day?

Your mind is playing a constant thought reel every day, and often times you aren’t even aware of it.

Learn to harness the power of awareness at my upcoming workshop for nurses.

The biggest misconception about meditation 👇

You have to release thoughts or quiet your mind. Nope, not true.

Your mind will wander, or dwell, or jump from one thought to the next. That is just the nature of the human mind.

Meditation is about noticing what your mind is doing. The noticing is the beauty of meditation.

The practice of sitting with your thoughts without judgment builds awareness and self-compassion - a very useful skill when you’ve made a mistake and part of you is saying the entire day is ruined because of it, for example. 😉

Join me for my free workshop - Meditation 101 - where you’ll learn how to observe your thoughts with compassion and patience.

I refuse to give up on this plant 🌱😂

I don’t remember when I bought her but we had a rough start that involved a tumble down the ikea escalator.

Since then she’s taken a few more tumbles, had a bout of root rot, several close encounters with kids and pets, too much sun, not enough sun, a warm draft (the most deadly of her experiences), many leaves lost and some slowly regained.

We had an unfortunate repotting experience that required consultation with a local nursery.

First the pot was too small, then too big. This weekend I noticed the pot was too small again (I think).

I also noticed the several intertwined trunks common to the money tree (or Pachira aquatica, if you’re smart like that) were dead. All of them.

I kinda knew for a while, but the time finally felt right to cut them away, so I chopped at them with the blind confidence of a mediocre-at-best plant mama.

So here she is - solo trunk, new pot, and some new growth.

I refuse to give up on her because of the poetic symbolism she provides (and she tolerates my amateur mistakes).
Thanks money tree 💚

Nurses:

Have you ever wondered when healthcare will be fixed?

Have you taken a look at lop-sided patient ratios and thought "something's gotta give"?

Have you felt heartache over the number of nurses experiencing burnout?

​

While we wait for something, someone to fix a broken system, you simultaneously continue to provide outstanding care to patients. It feels incongruous sometimes, right?

​

Just as the seemingly opposing concepts of "broken system but great patient care" co-exist, so too can the concepts of great patient care and great care for self. It feels so so hard when you're exhausted both physically and emotionally. I know.

​

But nurses are taking a stand and changing the system by changing standards for themselves. It’s a revolution in nursing.

​

Think of how many patients you see everyday who would be so much better off if they could take better care of themselves. Maybe you've thought something similar of yourself.

"I have to find some time for myself"

"I can't keep staying late and picking up extra shifts"

"It's time to get serious about my eating, sleeping, stress, etc."

​

When you take action on those desires, you are changing the system. When you hold your boundaries and prioritize your family over work, you are changing the system. When you change the way you care for yourself, you are changing patient care.

​

This is something I help nurses do everyday. It feels big and difficult right now, but it doesn't have to be that way. Using a simple, focused process I can help you make self-care a no-brainer.

​

Schedule a consultation call to learn how.

Have you experienced gaslighting at work?

Leave a 🚨below.

You’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and you have options.

Book a consultation call to take the first step in regaining your clarity and confidence.

You’re overworked and understaffed. You get an admission in the 11th hour, and no one’s there to help you.

You can feel the tension in your muscles, and the frustration is palpable.

Your body is doing exactly what it was designed to do - mount a stress response.

Knowing that information doesn’t make it feel any better. But moving the stress out of your body will help.

SHIFT is my 1:1 program for women in healthcare, and we practice doing just that.

Book a free consultation call to take the first step in active management of your stress, so your mind has space for what you really want to focus on when the workday is through.

SHIFT is a 1:1 (private) 8-week custom yoga and coaching program for women in healthcare that helps you overcome depletion and dysregulation so you can reconnect with yourself, your purpose, and your joy.

Breathwork 101 - a free workshop for women in healthcare

October 18
6pm CST
Online

Because you need tools to get you through your impossibly long patient list, the 12-hr shifts, the crashes, the codes, the delayed discharges, the continuing education, the patient education, and the impatient families.

I’ll provide a safe, trauma-informed space for you to learn a skill you’ll use for a lifetime.

Get registered at the link in the comments 👇and I’ll send you the zoom link.

Pictured: me in a corn maze practicing breathwork when it felt like we might be there for a while 😅🫣

As with any new skill, it takes some practice to get comfortable with breathwork.

At first it might feel awkward or boring. But those feelings will pass as you start to experience the benefits of the practice.

If after some time you don’t feel any benefits or if you start to feel worse, you can choose to stop. If breathwork doesn’t work for you, that is ok!

In this self-healing wellness world of ours there can be an implicit (or explicit) message that if a healing modality is not working for you, you just need to try harder. No. Not true.

If you want to give it a go, I have an upcoming workshop for women in healthcare.

We’ll explore several breathing techniques in a trauma-informed mindful practice together.

So many benefits of breathwork!

You may experience some of them, and you could experience all of them.

If you’re a woman in healthcare I invite you to explore this missing pillar of health in my upcoming workshop, Breathwork 101.

I am a 500-hr certified yoga teacher and my teachings are trauma-informed, so every effort will be made to ensure a safe space for exploring this practice.

Disclaimer: in some cases breathwork can feel uncomfortable or even triggering. If you experience these effects, please stop your practice and seek trauma-informed guidance.

They said to allow 1-4 weeks for processing but the acceptance letter came in just a few days.

So I’m doing this. I’M DOING THIS!

I remember sitting in my first trauma training something like nine years ago thinking trauma = PTSD = soldiers of war. (Spoiler: that is just one piece of a supersize puzzle).

Certainly *I* didn’t have trauma.

But thinking you don’t have trauma is like thinking you don’t have fingernails. Of course you do! And that’s ok. And hey your fingernails are uniquely yours.

I’ve learned so much (through countless hours of study and training) since then about trauma and its lasting, pervasive effects on our bodies and ultimately our lives. But there is always more to learn, and I feel so grateful and privileged to go deeper, expand my understanding, and practice, so I can assist my clients on the journey to accessing the immense joy, light, and FUN that lives on the other side of trauma recovery ❤️‍🩹

Free workshop for women in healthcare!

Breathwork 101
October 18 @ 6pm CST
Online

Learn WHAT breathwork is, WHY it’s something to practice in the first place, and HOW to actually do it.

You will leave with tools you’ll use *every day*, including:

✅ a pre-work practice
✅ a post-work practice
✅ ways to (inconspicuously) incorporate mindful breathing into your work day
✅ SOS breathing practices for when it’s all too much

Your breath is the single most accessible and effective tool for regulating your nervous system.

I’ve been practicing, studying, and teaching it with a trauma-informed approach for years.

I’d love for you to join us!

Even though i love to teach and coach clients through all the ways they can support their body’s stress response, I would never want to give the impression that I’ve got it all figured it out.

That’s like saying I figured out stress, it doesn’t exist for me anymore 😂

Not always, but a lot of times I teach what I’m working on. And something I’m always working on is breathwork.

Breathwork, or pranayama as it’s referred to in yoga, was the single most beneficial self-care practice that got me through the impossibly painful combination of divorce + pandemic.

It’s something I still practice everyday. And study on the regular. It’s the cornerstone of my daily ritual and a tool that I teach in depth with my 1:1 clients.

The thing about breathwork is it can make your tough days so much more manageable and elevate your pleasant days to pure joy. It’s that powerful 💥

So this month I want to offer it to you all in my free online workshop.

Breathwork 101 is open to all women in healthcare!

Learn the what, why, and how of breathing better to feel better.

Registration opens tomorrow.

In my 1:1 program for nurses, SHIFT, we utilize top-down (mind) based and bottom-up (body) based approaches to stress management and healing.

SHIFT is structured yet tailored to your individual needs and schedule. Once you sign up you will receive a program manual that outlines our 8 weeks together so you always know what’s coming.

We work with your current energy level, not against it.

Do you feel like your mind is racing and you can’t sit still? Then we work on moving mindfully and eventually ease into stillness.

Feeling absolutely depleted and stuck? Then we work with connecting with that feeling and build awareness and compassion around it so you can start moving gently.

SHIFT helps you connect with who you are at your core, beyond nurse or any other title. And when you tap into that space every part of your life will shift. (Hence the name)

Send me a DM to learn more 💗

So not fair 😜😂😂
