Lauren Walker

Lauren Walker is the creator of Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga), a practice that weaves techniques from Donna Eden's Energy Medicine, such as meridian tracing, tapping and holding acupressure points, into familiar yoga postures, breath and meditation. She trained at the Jivamukti studio in New York and has taught yoga and meditation since 1997, first in New York and later in Montana, where she opened the first yoga studio in the north-west of the state. EMYoga took shape while she was teaching students at Norwich University, a military college in Vermont.

She is the author of Energy Medicine Yoga (Sounds True, 2014), The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription (2017) and The Energy to Heal (Llewellyn, 2022), each of which received a Nautilus Silver Award. She teaches across the United States and internationally, trains and certifies EMYoga teachers, co-hosts the Energy Works podcast, and offers online classes and courses through EMYoga and The Shift Network. Her teaching centres on the body's energy systems, the Five Elements, the chakras and building a short daily practice.
