Energy Medicine Yoga® (EMYoga)
An integrative practice, blending the ancient healing methods of energy medicine and traditional yoga. This union works to align and balance the body’s nine energy systems, activating its natural healing intelligence. By focusing on your body as pure energy, you are empowered to transform and flow through your life: radiant, whole, and with grace.

Dede is a graduate of the 200- and 500-hour Embodyoga® teacher training with Patty Townsend at Yoga Center Amherst, Amherst, Massachusetts. Embodyoga® is an innovative and exciting approach to the practice of yoga informed by cutting-edge study in the field of body awareness. Through the process of “embodied inquiry,” [questioning, sensing, and witnessing every aspect of consciousness as it expresses through the body-mind] an intimate self-knowledge and self-transformation arises.
Dede completed her training in Energy Medicine Yoga® with Lauren Walker. Energy Medicine Yoga® is an integrative practice uniting ancient healing methods with modern science. Classic yoga postures are woven and paired with Energy Medicine techniques to communicate with the body in its own language and innate wisdom. By focusing on your body as a living system of energy, you are empowered to self-heal, thrive and flow in the life you are meant to live.
She completed her training in Restorative Yoga ( Relax and Renew I®) with Judith Hanson Lasater at Kripalu Center in Lenox, Massachusetts. In a restorative yoga sequence, the body is held by blankets, pillows, and other yoga props enabling the practitioner to remain in poses without effort or strain for 20 minutes or longer.

Dede invites students to find their own individual expression in their practice, using breath and intuition as a guide. Her classes focus on developing inner sensitivity to the body and creating harmony and balance in mind, body, and spirit. Dede brings enthusiasm and her own inner resources of love and joy to encourage students to be curious about what moves them from the inside out. She combines the training of Embodyoga, the wisdom and mindfulness of Kripalu Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Energy Medicine Yoga. She uses the 9 energy systems of Energy Medicine Yoga inviting students to work with their own energy.Through this unique approach,including her signature Magic Bag, she weaves these modalities into classic yoga postures to awaken the body’s innate healing intelligence and support holistic wellbeing. She stands,humbly, on the lineage of Bonnie Bainbrigde-Cohen, Patty Townsend, Judith Hanson Lasater, Donna Eden and Lauren Walker and many others as well.
