Lauren Walker, founder of EMYoga, provides easy techniques that can help restore health and vitality to you. Drawing upon science and ancient healing traditions, her methods are easy to learn and integrate seamlessly with any existing yoga practice.
THE ENERGY TO HEAL is written with simple language that demonstrates how EMYoga draws upon two resources everyone possesses–energy and mind – as a tool to manage difficult emotional responses such as fear, anger, anxiety and worry.
EMYoga WakeUp
EMYoga WakeUp is a quick two-minute routine designed to bring balance and serenity to your day and prioritize health. It helps set an intention for success throughout your day while dispelling negative energy that contributes to stress, anxiety and depression.
EMYoga is an integrative practice of yoga, energy work and healing developed by Donna Eden that integrates all three practices together in order to shift longstanding patterns in your energy field, which have an impact on every part of your body and mind. Compatible with all styles of yoga and suitable for beginning or advanced practitioners alike.
This practice can be particularly helpful for people suffering from sleep disorders, as it can help you fall asleep more easily and improve quality of life. Furthermore, meditation increases energy levels while decreasing anxiety – both factors which contribute to insomnia. Furthermore, mindfulness meditation may assist individuals experiencing memory problems by helping them remember things better, leading to enhanced performance at school or work.
EMYoga can also be an invaluable way to ease grief or loss, by helping one release past hurts and focus on what truly matters in their lives – thus alleviating pain faster and promoting healing more rapidly.
EMYoga is an innovative style of yoga that integrates energy work with traditional asanas to unlock your inherent healing potential and restore balance to mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, EMYoga works to harness your chi energy as the life-force that connects us all.
EMYoga Sleep
This sleep routine has been developed to ensure you experience restful and rejuvenating rest, so that when morning arrives you feel rejuvinated and ready to tackle your day. It is gentle yet calming, helping boost immunity while relieving feelings of stress.
Lauren Walker is the creator of Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga), a holistic healing practice which draws upon two powers everyone possesses – their energy and mind.

Lauren Walker grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts and received her initial training in art with a scholarship from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Later she majored in English and creative writing at Gallatin Division before opting out of publishing fellowship to travel the world instead and gain new experiences – first visiting New Zealand then Montana (founding first yoga studio before eventually moving back to Canada as war protestor).
She has taught yoga both domestically and abroad, written several books on it, been featured in Yoga Journal and Mantra Magazine and remains committed to healing by creating a toxic-free world and reversing global warming; while also enjoying arts, traveling, her folk band playing live performances and sculptural welding as hobbies. With all that yoga offers her passion lead her to develop Energy Medicine Yoga!
EMYoga Immune System
Lauren Walker is the creator of Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga), an intuitive yet simple healing method that combines her extensive studies in yoga with energy work for maximum effect. Her method uses classic yoga poses to communicate with your body’s natural intelligence – helping you heal yourself and thrive! EMYoga classes have been offered both nationally and internationally since her introduction. Yoga Journal, Mantra Magazine and Yoga Digest have featured Lauren’s methods as part of general courses or teacher trainings; recently she was honored with being named one of America’s Top 100 yoga teachers!
She founded her initial yoga studio in Northwest Montana; however, due to business dissolution and an horrific skiing accident she decided to reevaluate her life and embrace yoga as a lifestyle choice and become certified instructor. Her deep fascination with anatomy led her to study massage therapy, acupuncture and even spending time in India at an ashram studying these disciplines further.
She found that the combination of yoga and energy medicine was most effective for her in treating pain, which formed the basis for her EMYoga practice and three books written about energy medicine.
In your book, you discussed a method for releasing trauma. Could you explain more?
Rewiring how you relate to the world involves changing how you perceive it; altering any patterns of like and dislike or fear that keep you trapped in victim mode and holding onto things that no longer serve us.
EMYoga Calm
Lauren is the creator of EMYoga, an energy work method derived from yoga that harnesses two vital resources available to us all — yoga and our minds. Conceived while teaching at Norwich University – one of the oldest private military colleges in America – she developed this practice using ancient Eastern medicine’s Five Element Theory which acts like a guidepost for calming difficult emotions such as fear, anger, anxiety and worry.
TS: One thing I really admire about your approach to energy work is its adaptability; you don’t have to leave behind any yoga practice of your usual kind just to do energy work – can I assume this is correct?
After living abroad in New Zealand and working as a snowboard instructor in Montana before teaching yoga in remote regions around the globe, she opened her first yoga studio in northwest Montana before disbanding it for further travels – this journey led her on an enlightening path back into America where she now teaches both nationally and internationally.
Lauren’s work has been featured in The New York Times and Yoga Journal among others. She’s the author of Energy Medicine Yoga: Amplify the Healing Power of Your Practice (Sounds True 2014) and The Energy to Heal: Find Lasting Freedom From Stress and Trauma Through Energy Medicine Yoga (Llewellyn 2022). Lauren resides in Montana with her son.
