50HR Women’s SelfCare Training

Welcome to our 50-hour Women’s SelfCare Training!

This is a transformative journey designed exclusively for female yoga teachers, students, psychologists, and all women eager to delve into the profound realms of self-discovery and inner power.

Immerse yourself in a training that goes beyond the ordinary, leaving you with a sense of clarity, unwavering support, and boundless inspiration. This program motivates you to not only enhance your own well-being but also to share these invaluable skills with the women in your life—be it clients, students, family, or friends.

Around the globe, a revolutionary movement is unfolding as women embrace a liberation that transcends conventional norms. This profound shift towards sovereignty is accompanied by a rediscovery of ancient wisdom embedded in our very biology, creating a powerful sense of recognition. As this movement accelerates, the demand for genuine, knowledgeable coaches and educators who honor and celebrate the essence of female power has never been more crucial.

In a world still dominated by external influences, our program extends an invitation to explore the intersection of Self and Care—a space where true sovereign womanhood is cultivated. SelfCare, in this context, is not a mere rediscovery of womanhood; it's a commitment to ensuring that women everywhere receive genuine, respectful, uplifting, intelligent, and effective support, recognizing them as the central authorities of their own experiences.

Join me on this powerful journey to redefine and embrace the authentic essence of womanhood.

Together we will experience the powerful benefits of the following:

  • A honest re-education in women’s psychology, physiology, sexuality and spirituality.

  • Women's Yoga (asana, meditation, mantra, pranayama, mudra)

  • Yoga Nidra 

  • Sharing Circles
  • Self-inquiry / contemplation

  • Time for silence

  • Peaceful, beautiful environment

Hi, I'm Emily!

 

Having lived in the jungles of Indonesia for almost 20 years, I've been deeply influenced by the local culture, mysticism, and the easygoing barefoot lifestyle. I arrived in my early 20s, captivated by Eastern wisdom and already immersed in the practice of Yoga.

I come from a family of explorers, artists, and writers; my parents conceived me while listening to the Grateful Dead's "Scarlet Begonia's," a song that resonates with the idea that light can be found in unexpected places.

In my late teens, I delved into spirituality, noticing profound changes in my body, breath, and awareness through Yoga. Relocating to Santa Barbara, California, I balanced three jobs and full-time university studies, dedicating hours to asana, meditation, and teachings on Eastern philosophy. The inner quietude inspired my subsequent move to Indonesia.

I settled in Bali just before the thriving Yoga Barn and Bali Spirit Festival were established, where I taught Yoga and managed programming for Bali Spirit Fest.

Founding High Vibe Yoga, I began hosting successful yoga retreats and 200-hour trainings both in Bali and internationally. This success fueled my curiosity about women’s physiology, psychology, and spirituality, leading to the creation of Women's SelfCare and Women's Circles.

Recognizing Yoga's liberating potential for sex, death, and wealth, I initiated discussions and meditations, evolving into The Yoga of Sex, Death & Wealth training.

The pandemic ushered in a personal renaissance, followed by the sovereign birth of my daughter, marking my initiation into motherhood. 

The most noticeable transformation since 2020 has been a radical shift in my awareness to step out of drama and into self-responsibility.  And to support others in doing the same. 

Outside of my professional life, I love the simple life... being with my little family, quality time with friends, singing, dancing freely, reading everything, watching heartfelt movies, cooking from the farm, and road trips.

I'm deeply grateful for the influence of the late Sally Kempton, Tara Judelle, Andrea Boni, Kamini Desai, Uma Dinsmore Tuli, Mark Whitwell, and Layla Martin. My work has bee inspired by my time with each of them.

*There will be additional guest teachers on this training!

The Women’s Self-Care Training made me feel so inspired and alive and full of love for myself and other women. It gave me new insights that totally shifted the way I look at myself and I learned tools to continue this work in my every day life. Some experiences were spiritually very strong, it felt like pure magic and made me feel magical. I am so grateful to have had this experience and to have shared it with a group of wonderful women that I will remember for ever.

Emily is one of the most graceful and respectful teachers I have met around the yoga world. I didn’t really know what to expect from the training. I only knew it was the right time for me to do it as I felt a deep curiosity and need to explore more deeply what in the yoga world was there for me as a woman and as a yogini. Emily’s training allowed me to explore what it means nowadays to be a woman for me, how to take care of myself and how to feel more empowered and more in myself. And I really mean it. I had worked with Emily before having done my YTT with her, so I knew that she was going to hold a space where each of us could feel supported and inspired, but this training went even beyond my expectations. It transpired the love Emily puts in what she does, the research and work she has done in the women’s world (never I felt a question went unanswered or left open) and the respect she has for every woman she works for. She helps women to find their magic, it’s just as easy as that!

When I decided to take this journey with Emily , I had no idea what to expect. I have no words to describe how truly empowering this process was . I cannot thank Emily enough , for allowing me to reconnect with myself as a strong powerful woman . I am Beyond excited to share what she has taught me with other women in my life and community . A truly special program , which I cannot recommend highly enough.

“I took part of Emily’s Women’s Self-Care Training in 2017 in India. At first when looking into it I had unsure feelings, whether it is for me and if this is what I am actually looking for. I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for but I felt that I needed something to nurture me on a very deep level. I felt a craving to boost myself; and not only by doing yoga daily and eating healthy food but I wanted some more insight into myself and come out of the training with a new perspective. The training truly did exceed my expectations: partly because I didn’t know what to expect and I went into it like a blank sheet of paper, but also because Emily and other mentors knowledge goes beyond what is taught to us. They gather their knowledge from various different sources combining it to a very rich curriculum. In my honest opinion every woman should experience it. It is a vital training for any woman. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we did yoga, we shared our vulnerable sides and also strengths, we all supported each-other and everything was welcomed. Unexpected things get opened up in this training: and everything happens in a most warm, friendly and healthy environment. The expression “emotional safety” reached a whole new level for me. This training shifted my perspective on myself as a woman and changed my life.”

I had never been to a retreat before and the information about Emily’s course came unexpected, but somehow resonated and touched my heart. It was one of the bests things that ever happened to me! In the beautiful Goa, surrounded by colors and sounds, I learned to see more, feel more and understand more. The course opened places in my mind and heart and made me face my fears and understand my beauty. Day after day, in an atmosphere of safety and trust, we shared experiences and feelings and talked about what women seem to be about. I connected with the Universe, nature, with others, but most importantly with myself. Samata retreat itself was amazing – cheerful, happy and standard is great. I am definitely coming back to continue the journey.

Emily’s Self-Care for Women course has been utterly transformational for me. I’m still discovering the full impact of what I learned nine months after the experience. When I first heard about the course, I was at Emily’s women’s circle in Ubud. Something in me leapt, and I knew I had to be there. As the time for the course approached, I started to question that decision. Didn’t I already have a great self-care practice? Did I really need this? Something in me said yes, and I’m glad I listened! The entire time I was there, I felt lovingly enveloped in a community of incredible women. One of the most important things I learned was that entering spaces of pleasurable safety can be a catalyst for immense growth. It was a huge shift for me to see that I could stretch my comfort zone far more easily and joyfully than I thought possible when I felt safe, held, and loved. Most importantly, I learned to listen to myself, trust myself, and feel gratitude for the phenomenal gift it is to be a woman and to be a part of a community of women. Emily has created an incredible offering in this course, and I want every woman I know to experience it!
