Emily has been practicing classical Pilates since 2012, and is a forever-learner and mover. She found her love for the method through over a decade of classical ballet training at California Ballet School. After ending her ballet training, she continued practicing Pilates and has since found a passion for teaching. Emily earned her Lagree Fitness certification in 2023 and began her 750-hour Classical Comprehensive Pilates Certification under Christie Wang in 2024. 

Emily is passionate about helping others find body awareness, confidence in movement, and overall balance in the body. Class with Emily is individualized for the needs of each student. Her knowledge-sharing approach allows students to push to the point of improvement, and feel empowered by their progress. Aha! moments, new neuromuscular connections, and "the brain work" are her favorite milestones to share with students. She is grateful to be a part of the Ascend Pilates community!
