A yoga practice, to her is an opportunity to explore the dance between the tangible and ethereal. She draws inspiration from the many facets of her existence, including theatre movement training, dance, breath training, spirituality, ritual, personal empowerment, trauma-informed perspectives and nervous system regulation. She believes in the power of yoga to reprogram our reactive selves, as we take a step back and observe during our practice. She believes that you DO NOT need to be flexible to do yoga. The benefits of this practice are available to all bodies. Practice with Emily to sweat, to feel (with complete non-judgement), to express, to get stronger, and maybe even sneak in a little giggle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/fa74ec1c-0139-43a0-8f4d-e49d08a96b92/EO-0033_Original.jpeg Yoga - LINEAGE Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

The word itself translates to: Rei=Universal Ki=Energy This practice adresses the energy systems of the body and works to shift and transform stuck-ness or congested energy in the physical and emotional body. It is an energy of unconditional love and radical acceptance. It will support you exactly as you are. Whether you are looking for a simple opportunity to get quiet, slow down and receive, or engage in your own multi-faceted healing journey, this modality works for and with you in whatever way you are ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579989668165-I15V3ZW5IFGZ0T3ND0AV/JPEGimage-340A5547EBA4-8.jpeg Reiki - MY PROMISES I will welcome you in complete support and non-judgement Come as you are, we will work together within your authentic experience, from the truth of your emotional/physical/mental/spiritual landscape. I will 100% respect your boundaries. I acknowledge that through these life journeys we have all collected different experiences, and they are stored and expressed in very individual ways. My only agenda is to approach our work from a place of unconditional love and radical acceptance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579990158828-JGWOK2GK19Y9HDM2JHBO/JPEGimage-CA992E9B99BB-8.jpg Reiki - BENEFITS -ease, even during the tough stuff -more clarity (a clearer ability to recognize what you need and want) -a sense of universal support -an increased ability to receive (love, attention, compliments, abundance) -a bolstered knowledge of your inarguable worth -greater harmony within the physical body -less affected by stress -movement/transformation of any spots of stuck-ness -decrease of physical ailments and symptoms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/71c21adc-75cf-40f6-887d-01e8bf4a533a/RMAaffiliatMemberLogo-500.jpg https://www.emilyopalsmith.com/meditation daily 0.75 2023-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579738883392-PCWEBI7B8LCUXV9QYE3Y/Photo%2B2018-11-12%252C%2B7%2B59%2B48%2BAM.jpg Meditation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579738973876-2ZJ1LUJGK7EM8LAHVWIR/Photo+2018-11-12%2C+8+04+05+AM.jpg Meditation - GUIDED MEDITATIONS *coming soon* https://www.emilyopalsmith.com/home daily 1.0 2025-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/cec0edde-c798-4f71-ac41-f6957fb891a5/0001_36a.jpeg https://www.emilyopalsmith.com/about daily 0.75 2023-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/3d374d7e-71fb-452b-9b34-a10283c6d055/EO-0065_Original.jpeg About - HERE I AM. I AM HERE. A soul in a human body. On a journey to remember that all is love. Emily is a curious, passionate and dedicated healer. She brings experience from all her life journeys to her practice as a multi-disciplinary practitioner. She grew up in Victoria, spent 8 years living in Toronto working as an actor, 5 years in Vancouver reuniting with her heart and body and learning as much about yoga as possible, and recently returned to Victoria. It was a love for community; an in person, in the moment exchange of energy that sparked her drive for the theatre, which now directly translates into her current work. She is equally fascinated by physical anatomy and the spirit, the science of functional breathing and intuitive soul guidance. She deeply believes in the balance of solar and lunar, action and rest and the power of stillness to tune into the wisdom of the body and heart. Expect the unexpected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579671455675-7XB7LSJXALMWRH57IQL6/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+34+24+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579671510912-FDC2GP7FLX9A5N6EAV5D/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+33+29+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579990938829-8LXD1CTS2EAC1MK4F8YZ/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+10+44+42+PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579671587992-3LN63WRCD3V9X4ABBZCC/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+31+28+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579990957022-8FPOECB5E2L4CFKVXS1E/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+10+44+35+PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579671768928-61MB5E4WXD6Q6TKHR3AH/Photo+2019-10-12%2C+4+18+49+PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579990971663-9CXPK07GVE80IO4MGXX7/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+10+44+26+PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579671822690-4RM94POQM7LPRIKO5WJ9/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+34+35+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579671870484-E67GBEEPXELHLSLHX1QR/Photo+2019-10-12%2C+4+08+56+PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579671916260-F00MCX4M6LC2GUH19UBA/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+34+40+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579671996156-P6QL132G2JGIECT1WRW5/Photo+2019-10-12%2C+3+19+10+PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672038090-4N18YKWBUTIFM1ROOAKY/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+32+14+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672174012-QLON18ATUTKMXHRGF9IV/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+34+04+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672181397-I4O5PIVEA0H6X2SJ1283/Photo+2019-10-12%2C+3+30+40+PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672202413-N74GT05CBUMR7H6KKFRH/Photo+2019-10-12%2C+4+12+44+PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672252068-I4CTO99N3SUCO0H37IRQ/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+32+06+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672289232-Z7H9ZZ90XOIGCTAOIB5D/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+32+22+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672297594-59WBW1LWHV0KLZV6UAQY/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+32+30+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672350868-HCO7XKYSQTEVPNA8C0Y6/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+33+03+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/1579672384102-7T85E5OX00UG0ZRJQQKU/Photo+2020-01-21%2C+9+33+56+PM.png About https://www.emilyopalsmith.com/contact-me daily 0.75 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/cec0edde-c798-4f71-ac41-f6957fb891a5/0001_36a.jpeg https://www.emilyopalsmith.com/events daily 0.75 2025-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/4c74064e-dd26-401c-9e74-cde474a1834d/EO-0109_Original.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/452aa396-ebe1-4e4f-ab3a-b46d539d9bdf/IMG_1795_VSCO.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/ee68bac6-0a25-4280-931e-7a3230e5e024/IMG_2341_VSCO.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1e71c7055a3a2cdb5240e2/e04f5a61-9221-4180-b2b9-f258551d66f9/BE9CA864-1D7B-48CA-A4B2-130C20693858.jpeg
