Anyone seeking to supercharge their yoga practice, boost immunity and gain more energy should try EMYoga. It combines classic yoga postures with ancient traditional healing modalities like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping and self-massage for maximum effectiveness.
Walker notes that even something as simple as thumping one’s chest like Tarzan can help shift energy forward and help to alleviate trauma or prevent illness. This could help both heal trauma and avoid illness.
What is EMYoga?
Your body is an energy portal, and yoga practice is your gateway into it. By supercharging your energy system with simple yoga routines and ancient healing modalities like EMYoga – an exclusive blend of energy practices designed to strengthen yogic practices – you can tap into its healing properties. Meridian points, self-massage techniques, breathing exercises with relaxation holds for stress regulation and strengthening immunity can all be combined into one comprehensive practice practiced throughout EMYoga practice sessions.
Lauren Walker and Donna Eden developed EMYoga together and it has helped many individuals relieve chronic pain, illness, anxiety and depression as well as heal deep-seeded trauma. Lauren offers classes across the U.S. and internationally. Additionally, she writes extensively and her works have been featured in The New York Times, Jerusalem Post and Yoga Journal.
Tami Simon: EMYoga is the combination of yoga and energy healing techniques, proven to have beneficial results against migraines. Lauren Walker, creator of EMYoga joins us today to share her expertise in this unique approach to healthcare.
Lauren, thank you so much for being here today. Lauren Walker: Thanks, Tami. My introduction to Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga) began at Norwich University – America’s oldest private military college – where it taught yoga combined with energy medicine practices that could dramatically impact student lives and well being.
Shortly, students learn energy-boosting techniques such as the “crossing,” a gorilla-like chest pound, and the tapping of thumb and forefinger on the center of their forehead to activate kidney meridian points, increasing vital life force energy–prana in yoga or chi in acupuncture–for their EMYoga practice. By activating kidney meridians end points and activating vital life force energy (prana or chi), students can energize their energies to enhance practice and make the most out of life itself!
EMYoga Basics
At the core of EMYoga lies its belief that everything we experience, think and feel is energy; when our energies are healthy we gain access to an internal healing intelligence which supports us through life and helps us thrive. Traditional yoga postures are combined with energy medicine techniques in EMYoga that enable us to communicate with the body through its unique language of energy and activate its inherent healing potential.
Walker developed her technique utilizing ancient knowledge gleaned from Tantra Yoga’s nadis, chakras, and meridians as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine meridians, with energy practices developed by Donna Eden among others. Walker believes it’s vital to shift longstanding patterns in our underlying energy that affect bodies, minds and spirits as this can contribute to issues from chronic illnesses like heart disease or diabetes to depression.
EMYoga is a series of sequences that integrates yoga poses and breathwork with elements from nature such as fire, water, earth, air and space to bring balance and harmony to our bodies. Anyone from beginners to longtime yoga practitioners can engage in these exercises for optimal wellbeing. Each exercise can be undertaken easily – you don’t need prior yoga experience either! This practice doesn’t require strain but does require active concentration.
Doing this work creates a physical change that allows for increased energy flow and alignment with our true nature, helping to restore balance and unlock our fullest potential.

EMYoga for Stress
Stress is an ever-present condition in our modern world. It manifests as feelings of weight in the body, tightness in the chest and rapid heart rate. One effective method for combatting and managing this form of distress is yoga practice – one method being the combination of yoga with energy healing known as EMYoga which offers us deep connections to our bodies that helps calm minds, improve sleep quality and balance emotions.
EMYoga is a holistic system that integrates breathwork, meditation, movement, stretching and visualization exercises into its routine. Additionally, EFT tapping and journaling may also be part of its practice; overall it offers a holistic solution for living an enjoyable and healthy lifestyle – from diet to beliefs that shape life – with one key takeaway being self-love; something which may otherwise be hard to cultivate in our busy lives.
This book’s EMYoga practices will enable you to release past traumas, clear difficult emotions, and build resilience. Each chapter’s eight transformational techniques aim to change long-standing patterns in your underlying energy that affect the entirety of your being – helping you identify which parts you wish to keep while discarding those no longer serving you so you can reimagine life for greater joy and ease.
Lauren Walker has combined ancient yoga traditions with modern understandings and techniques from energy medicine to create an holistic system that will teach you to harness your own energies for greater balance and health. Unlike medications, her natural remedy does not produce adverse side effects and will bring greater harmony into your life.
EMYoga for Trauma
Yoga can be an invaluable asset in the fight against trauma, helping individuals escape what is known as the “trauma field,” an energetic field which attracts chaos and heartache to certain individuals, sometimes manifesting into chronic illness or disease over time.
Yoga’s soothing practices can provide trauma survivors with much-needed calming and grounding effects to restore balance to their autonomic nervous systems after having been overwhelmed by fight-or-flight reactions to traumatic events. Achieving this equilibrium allows trauma survivors to engage in psychotherapy or other healing practices which help integrate memories of trauma more fully into their bodies where they can be processed more effectively.
EMYoga provides an all-around approach to healing, using breathwork, tapping energy points to create neural repatterning, gratitude practices, and gentle poses that align with the energies of the subtle body. Unlike regular hatha yoga which often requires physical flexibility and balance to practice successfully, EMYoga can be done by anyone of any ability without strain or injury – providing relief from sleep disorders, PTSD/C-PTSD anxiety depression substance abuse gastrointestinal issues chronic pain etc.
EMYoga strives to offer trauma survivors tools that are accessible and empowering, such as helping PTSD/C-PTSD victims regain some control of their lives, gain compassion for themselves and others, and find ways to feel more alive with life again.
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but untreated it can become trauma. Traumatic events cause our fluid energies to disorient themselves and may eventually lead to illness if left unresolved. Luckily, studies now demonstrate how trauma-informed yoga can relieve both everyday stress and major trauma symptoms.
Scientists found in one study that yoga helped significantly reduce PTSD symptoms among half the women they studied while medications and talk therapy only improved symptoms in 30%. It’s time for mainstream healthcare systems to recognize yoga’s effectiveness at treating trauma.
