Emily Workman Love

Emily is a life-long yoga & meditation practitioner, healer, and educator. She began her work when she was a teenager by hosting healing retreats for peers, working with special-needs children, and offering art workshops for children; moved into teaching & helping writers to express themselves as a professional; and founded Mama Mouse Healing Arts in 2019 to offer child & family wellness opportunities. Emily has moved through several natural pregnancies/births and child-rearing by using her yoga practice as a beacon; she is passionate about child advocacy and works often with special needs populations and children who have experienced trauma. Just as our founder, Steven Brice, has moved through difficult times using yoga, Emily has found this methodology to be an anchor through the dark days and challenges life has offered, and is honored to share these useful methods with others.

Emily coordinates Yoga 4 Philly’s children’s programming, and you can sometimes find her teaching or supporting staff at our school and community sites. She is an integral part of guiding our children’s programming for Yoga 4 The World host cities. 

Emily is a trauma-informed child & adult yoga teacher with a 95-hour Children’s Yoga Certification from Grounded Kids (Atlanta, GA), a 200-hour Vinyasa-style Yoga Instructor Certification from Yogawood (Collingswood, NJ), a 16-hour Trauma Informed Yoga Instructor certification from Inhale to Exhale (NYC) and has trained for a 500-hour Yoga Instructor Certification (Yoga Farm, Ithaca NY.)  She is always continuing her education. Emily is a credentialed Sanskrit Instructor through The American Sanskrit Institute (Brick, NJ) and holds a 7-hour trauma-informed training certificate for marginalized youth with The Art of Yoga (Redwood City, CA). 

Personally, Emily gravitates toward Yin, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Ashtanga, Qi Gong, and reflective practices. She’s an avid reader and student of yoga and spiritual philosophy. She weaves art, music, fun, and intuitive healing energy into her teaching. 

Emily believes the greatest joy is practicing yoga with children. They are natural, wise healers, and we serve them best by creating safe spaces for their radiance to take root, so they can become tomorrow’s best leaders.
