EMYoga combines yoga and energy medicine, making it accessible for people of all ages and abilities. Utilizing time-honored techniques designed to balance and align the body’s energy field, increase healing intelligence and alleviate physical or emotional discomfort, it has proven its efficacy over time.
Walker is the author of two best-selling books on energy medicine yoga: Energy Medicine Yoga (Sounds True 2014) and EMYoga: Amplify the Healing Power of Your Practice (Llewellyn 2022). Additionally, she offers classes across the United States of EMYoga.

Your body and the invisible, spiritual parts of yourself are linked by energy pathways known as chakras and meridians, connecting your physical matter with invisible mental/spiritual states through chakras and meridians. By combining yoga with energy medicine, Walker creates a practice which amplifies its healing powers while adding balance and vitality into life.
Walker first developed Energy Medicine Yoga while teaching at Norwich University and its success led her to write her debut book Energy Medicine Yoga: Amplify the Healing Power of Your Yoga Practice (Sounds True, 2014). Since then she has written her second work entitled The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription which expands on those ideas for both teachers and students to use during yoga classes.
Walker offers simple yet accessible energy medicine practices in this book. She outlines how to feel energy, the role emotions play in our health, as well as practices such as grounding and tapping. In addition, Walker introduces the Five Elements that form the basis of holistic energy practices; by knowing your dominant element better you can understand where energy flows or becomes blocked and how best to release those blockages more rapidly.
This book’s greatest strength lies in its prescriptions, which combine classic yoga poses with holding selected pressure points, working meridians, focusing attention, self-massage, and clearing techniques. Walker provides these exercises as part of their regular yoga practice as well as supportive habits such as Ayurvedic food recommendations and self-massage techniques.
This book is essential reading for those studying mind, body, and spirit. It offers time-honored techniques for balancing energy fields, increasing healing power within your body naturally, alleviating physical issues, and relieving emotional discomfort. Walker and Eden present a clear introduction to this powerful form of yoga suitable for beginners or experts alike – the perfect addition to any wellness program!
Donna Eden
Donna Eden possesses an extraordinary gift to detect the flow of body energies and use traditional healing techniques such as acupuncture, therapeutic touch and qi gong to heal them. With this talent comes her ability to teach others who don’t possess this clairvoyant talent how to work with their energies more productively – something she has done with thousands of clients and practitioners today – including yoga teachers!
After Donna found that doctors had run out of options to treat her health challenges, she turned to her body’s energy systems as a form of healing and began teaching others how to utilize them as well. Over time, this approach evolved into “Eden Energy Medicine,” a system addressing nine invisible energy systems of the body.
She is a pioneer of hands-on energy healing and one of its most inspiring advocates. Her classic book, Energy Medicine, serves as textbook for hundreds of healing classes worldwide and has sold millions of copies.
Donna’s approach has extended far beyond healthcare, into education, sports, business, the performing arts and beyond. Yoga practitioners now incorporate Donna’s work as a complementary aspect to physical yoga practice – with Lauren Walker expanding on Donna’s legacy through Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga).
Lauren and Donna discuss their recently published book together, The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription. In addition, they highlight the significance of understanding our energetic systems that influence physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription is an in-depth guide that brings the ancient tradition of yoga together with cutting-edge energy healing methodologies to help achieve balance, optimal health and vibrant vitality for you and your life. Learn to tap into your innate body wisdom to reach equilibrium, optimal health and true vitality – an indispensable tool that will allow you to live the best life!

The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription brings together techniques from yoga, acupuncture, qi-gong, and kinesiology to activate your natural healing mechanisms and bring balance, vitality, and blissfulness to mind, body, and soul. It’s gentle yet powerful practice which brings balance, vitality, and bliss for mind body soul!
EMY is designed to align, stabilize and harmonize all 9 energy systems of our bodies to restore equilibrium and bring us back into equilibrium. It makes an excellent addition to yoga practices of any kind and easily fits into existing routines. Lauren Walker created an ingenious way of using energy work alongside yoga – this holistic approach to healing has truly amazed me!
Lauren was at a crossroads and had two options before her: study more yoga or embark on a path of miracles. Embarking upon this latter option proved transformative and intuitive as she found great joy combining Donna Eden’s Energy Medicine into her practice and yoga – eventually giving birth to EMY.
Nautilus Silver Awards for both books she authored: Energy Medicine Yoga: Amplify the Healing Power of Your Existing Practice (Sounds True 2014) and The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription(Llewellyn 2022). Additionally, she teaches EMY at Norwich University as well as across the U.S. and internationally.
Her recent research project demonstrated the positive benefits of EMY on migraine headaches. She plans on continuing this work with more migraine patients and eventually including yoga and EMY as complementary therapies in her clinics once she graduates from the Doctor of Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner program.
EMY was developed to complement any form of yoga practice, from hot Vinyasa flow and Iyengar yoga to Iyengar. The practice can easily be learned on its own at home or studio and utilizes energy medicine techniques like tapping, acupressure holds, neurolymphatic reflex self-massage as well as classic yoga poses in order to restore equilibrium and activate healing powers within. Perfect for anyone wanting physical, emotional and spiritual healing with limited time available for practice!
