EMILY KAPLAN

Gladwyne Yoga is owned by Emily Kaplan, who is a native of Gladwyne. After doing her stint in the corporate world in NYC, Emily has returned to her roots to share yoga with Gladwyne. Teaching yoga is the vehicle that Emily has found to share her compassion for people and desire to help make everyone’s life better; including her own. She especially loves teaching beginners for that reason.

Emily found yoga through her mother who began practicing Bikram and encouraged Emily to begin. Once Emily found yoga she never looked back.One day on her way home from her stressful corporate job, she figured out what she was going to do with the rest of her life…”I’m going to become a yoga teacher.” Shortly afterward, she packed up and moved to Los Angeles, where she lived, studying and becoming a teacher with Bikram Choudhury.

Returning home, Emily operated and owned a Bikram Yoga studio in New Jersey from 2002-2004.She has also studied with Baron Baptiste, Beryl Bender Birch and Brian Kest.

Emily is a graduate of Cornell University ‘91 and holds a Master’s Degree in Marketing from Northwestern University. She also completed coursework in a master’s program at Columbia University in Applied Physiology and hopes to complete that someday.
