HEY, I’M EMIR

My journey into mindfulness began in 2014 after a frightening experience with LSD left me struggling with anxiety. Searching for relief, I stumbled upon meditation and decided to try it. That experience began what has now become more than a decade of meditation and mindfulness practice.

Since then, meditation and mindfulness have been an integral part of my journey, helping me cultivate a calmer, clearer mind; greater self-awareness and compassion; and more intimate connections with my friends, my family, and life as a whole.

Years later, I met a former inmate at a meditation retreat who told me how discovering yoga in prison had helped him turn his life around. His story deeply moved me and inspired me to dedicate my life to sharing these practices with others.

Today, I'm a Mindfulness and Embodiment Coach, 500-hour Yoga Teacher, certified Breath Coach and trained Mindfulness Guide with over a decade of personal meditation practice.

My work is about sharing yoga, breathwork and meditation practices to help people become more grounded in their bodies, more aware of their minds and better able to meet life — including its challenges — with greater calm, kindness and courage.
