About East Wind Yoga

Scott Emerich, owner

Scott's path to yoga was not intentional, but after taking his first class, his passion was unstoppable. In his first year, he was maintaining a six-day a week practice, often taking multiple classes in a day. Desiring to share his committment to yoga, Scott started teaching. By his second year, he was teaching in three different cities and keeping pace with his personal practice. With an eye for proper technique and caring for his students, Scott has built a reputation for precision teaching with heart. Opening East Wind Yoga in January, 2005, Scott realized his dream to create a sanctuary for people seeking the endless benefits of yoga.

Ping Yu, Yoga Instructor

Ping truly believes Yoga can bring everyone to a higher level of positive energy and deep meditation. Her personal mantra is: “By practicing Yoga you are practicing to be a better - higher being.”

As a student she has studied Yoga in several styles for many years. Now as a teacher, she continues to refine her skills by experimenting with several forms of physical and spiritual practices. She is dedicated to exploring and sharing an inner connection in her own unique interpretation of the state of Yoga.

By blending Hatha asanas with Chinese Tai Chi movement the body is brought into a natural state of balance and harmony. The two opposing, yet complementary, qualities of Ying and Yang are brought into one practice to help you develop strength and poise.

Practicing Yoga will increase your awareness of mind, body and spirit. Come and join Ping and grow.
