Qualified yoga instructor, children’s education theatre director, writing tutor and founder of the Teen Yoga Project.
Meet Emily Beale
Emily has been a yogi for over 12 years. She owns a yoga studio in Sydney called Sowa Yoga, and runs adult and teen yoga classes weekly.
In 2020, Emily trained with Teen Yoga in the UK, completing their comprehensive 100 hour Teacher Training course.
Prior to this, for 11 years, Emily was the co-founder of Bamboo Theatre, a theatre-in-eduction company represented by Australia’s leading theatre-in-education agency ‘Young Australia Workshop’. She wrote, directed and produced ten welfare programmes, covering topics such as cyberbullying, digital citizenship, respectful relationships, and peer group pressure. They toured schools across Australia and performed to well over 200,000 students. In 2019 Emily created ‘Nudge Theatre’, a solo project that saw her work specifically with female students,. Her interactive program ‘Girl Empowered’ explored the many challenges modern females face in today’s world. She toured the East coast of Australia (before covid hit and shut schools!). She also owned children’s yoga company ‘Stretchy Stories’, a yoga based story telling programme that toured preschools across the East Coast of Australia.
Emily is an exceptional yoga and breath work teacher as well as being an exceptionally lovely, warm, funny and passionate woman. Her Teen Yoga Project is a brilliant program that speaks to me personally as a clinical psychologist who works with high school students struggling with mental health difficulties, stress and being disconnected from their bodies and themselves. The skills that young people learn in Teen Yoga will undoubtedly enhance their wellbeing in the now and also provide them with many skills to carry with them into the rest of their lives.
