your hosts
Emily is the founder of Bodhi Glow farm sanctuary, an artist, Yoga teacher, plant based cook and mother of four beautiful children.
Emily has 8 years experience as a Yoga teacher. She previously had two successful Yoga companies. One teaching SUP Yoga (Yoga on a paddle board) in Dubai and the other offering sell out family friendly retreats in Sri Lanka. She has also taught on Yoga teacher trainings in Bali.
She holds a deep interest in natural healing and meditation, has trained in various modalities and is a qualified EFT practitioner (Emotional freedom technique).
She is passionate about sustainability, conservation and supporting others in making positive steps towards living an eco conscious, compassionate lifestyle.
Emily held a long term dream of starting an animal sanctuary. A place of complete compassion and non violence, where all beings are respected before it finally came to being two years ago.
When she became a mother she felt a connection to all mothers and a deep calling to do her part to help heal the world. She read a quote, 'it's not our job to toughen children up to face a cruel and heartless world. Rather it's our job to raise children who will make the world less cruel and heartless'. This resonated deeply with her and as such she makes a conscious effort to raise her family with deep values of compassion, eco consciousness and an emphasis always towards kindness.
She is now excited to share this way of living and piece of paradise with you on this beautifully crafted retreat where she can share her passions and commitment to supporting women to support our Mother Earth, leaving her healthy for our future generations.
