Why AstroYoga?
Astrology has traditionally been studied as a symbolic language. Yoga has traditionally been practiced as a path of embodied awareness. At the International School of AstroYoga, we believe these traditions were never meant to be separated.
When astrological understanding is combined with embodied practice, insight becomes lived experience. Students move beyond astrological analysis as they learn to observe, embody, and participate consciously in life's cycles.
Our Four-Pillar Philosophy
What Makes the International School of AstroYoga Different
Embodied
 → Astrology is lived through the body
Rigorous
 → Study with curiosity, precision, and intellectual honesty
Refective
 → Observe the patterns of your own life over time
Integrative
 → Apply what you learn until knowledge becomes lived, active awareness
Your Portal to the Cosmos Starts Here

"I walked away with a greater appreciation for astrology and a clearer sense of my soul's journey."
"Emily has such a beautiful blend of intuition and practicality in her chart readings. I felt she offered a thorough and thoughtful session that really helped me understand certain aspects of my chart on a deeper level. I walked away with a greater appreciation for astrology and a clearer sense of my soul’s journey. She also did an amazing job bringing everything down to earth and offering simple, practical tips—especially around some of the more challenging placements. Highly recommend working with her!"
-Aubrey Steele, astrology chart reading and AstroYoga Teacher Training grad
"Highly recommend her!"
"This was my first natal reading and Emily did a great job of initiating me in the astral plane. She was warm, friendly and framed everything in ways that were helpful and gave me insight into my past and insight for the future. Highly recommend her!"
-Carol Delmonico, astrology chart reading
"So helpful, validating, and empowering"
"I decided to reach out to Emily for a natal chart reading during a major transition period in my life and it was so helpful, validating and empowering. For me, being reminded of my gifts, values, and where I get stuck and challenged opened up awareness and strategies to help navigate life's events and to trust how my life is unfolding."
-Casey Davis, astrology chart reading
"Her reading of the energy was spot on"
"Emily’s teaching in the AstroYoga teacher training is so organized and understandable. Her descriptive way of speaking about Astrology Signs, Houses, Planets, Aspects, etc. has such beautiful nuances and her symbolism really resonates with me. I have learned much new and rich information... Emily ties together mythology and many other spiritual and energy medicine modalities with the Astrology. I want to dig in a second time to catch more details and pearls.
Her reading of the energy is my birth chart was spot on, like she was telling me the story of my life and no, we don’t know each other!"
-Paula Youmell, AstroYoga Teacher Training grad
"I left my session with greater clarity and a sense of purpose."
"Emily is a wise and insightful guide, probing layers of meaning to help you navigate the energies that shape your life. Drawing on her deep background in folklore, yoga, and the esoteric, she brings your important challenges and strengths into focus with grace and humor. I left my session with greater clarity and sense of purpose. Highly recommend!"
-Joyce Winslow, astrology reading and AstroYoga flow classes
"Emily is the real deal!"
"Emily is the real deal! Her breath of study in astrology, folklore, and yoga is impressive. She’s studied in India, has degrees in higher education, and weaves together the many complex systems into her courses. Just listening to her talk, you can tell how much time she has dedicated to craft. Yet, her teaching approach is simple, clear, and playful! She does not gatekeep, but seeks to extend herself generously and humbly through her teachings. I had the pleasure to take her Astro-Yoga certification this spring...I found myself rewinding and pausing the lectures to allow myself to write down every word that Emily had to say."
-Carla Hamilton, AstroYoga Teacher Training grad
