Emily Aspell
Emily Aspell discovered yoga during a challenging time in her life, and it quickly became a transformative part of her healing journey. While overcoming struggles with her mental health, the practice of yoga helped her find peace and happiness through its powerful mind-body connection. It gave her the ability to stay present and show up for all aspects of life.
In 2019, Emily completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training at Sutra Studio in Lowell, Massachusetts. Teaching yoga allows her to create a welcoming space where people can connect with their bodies and minds through creative movement. She finds it incredibly rewarding to help others discover moments of joy through their practice. Emily’s classes are fun, flowing, and powerful, leaving students feeling grounded, present, and energized.
Emily is passionate about continuing to learn and explore how breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness can bring balance and awareness into everyday life. Alongside teaching yoga, she works as a climbing instructor with Appalachian Climbing School. She loves teaching others—it’s where she finds her truest sense of connection and purpose.
When she’s not teaching or climbing, Emily enjoys hiking, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and being outdoors as much as possible.
Description
power + release blends the strength and heat of power yoga with deep stretching and recovery for a complete, science-informed practice. The first half of class is a dynamic, breath-driven flow designed to actively improve mobility by building heat, increasing circulation, and creating fascial glide through varied, intelligent movement.
This active approach prepares the body to stretch more effectively. As the body becomes warm and receptive, we transition into deeper holds, mobility work, and often self-myofascial release techniques to access the connective tissues more safely and efficiently. This combination supports joint health, improves range of motion, and helps release long-held tension—physically and energetically.
power + release is ideal for anyone who wants the best of both worlds: intelligent, empowering movement paired with deep, intentional release. You’ll leave feeling strong, open, and balanced—energized without feeling depleted, and supported in both strength and recovery.
