EMILia CONRADSON
Emilia Conradson, M.A. L.M.T is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Structural Integration (Rolfing) practitioner, and certified Integrative Life Coach. She began practicing yoga to heal back spasms that were attributed to her muscular imbalance and functional scoliosis. Although her initial studies of Ashtanga yoga eliminated the back pain, it wasn’t until she discovered the Forrest Yoga method that she developed a connection to her inner strength- the “beyond the physical” element of yoga that she was craving. The intuitive, spirit-healing approach to asana taught by Ana Forrest was able to expand her breath and melt her holding patterns so she could open into more exhilarating and advanced postures. Above all else Forrest Yoga sparked Emilia’s connection to awaken her inner strength, over and over. Emilia continues to serve as an assistant to Ana Forrest at workshops and conferences.
n 2007, Emilia made Om Factory her yoga home and accepted the position as Director of Om Factory in 2008. As the Om Factory community grew and the studio expanded to include AntiGravity Yoga and Emilia soon became an apprentice to Christopher Harrison, the founder of AntiGravity Yoga. As an Italian-American, Emilia had a dream to teach in yoga in Italy. He dream was fulfilled in 2009 when she presented AntiGravity Yoga at the Milan Yoga Journal Conference. She has since returned to Italy to train AntiGravity Yoga instructors.
In 2009 Emilia left her position as Director of Om Factory to finish her AOS degree in Occupational Studies at the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences and to enroll in the Ford Institute for Transformational Training. Emilia studied personally with Debbie Ford and completed over 500 hours of training to qualify as a certified Integrative Life Coach. Teaching the conceptions and practice of psychosynthesis established Roberto Assagioli, and “Shadow Work” with origins tracing back to Carl Gustav Jung, Emilia combines deep meditation facilitation with Neuro-Linquistic Programming to coach individuals breaking through limiting beliefs and undesired behavior patterns.
In addition to her teachings at Om Factory, Emilia offers private sessions for therapeutic posture alignment, yoga therapy and life coaching, Structural Integration Rolfing and massage therapy. Her private studio, Balance in Body, is located in the same building as Om Factory, and specializes in alleviating chronic pain patterns, imbalance form injuries, flexibility concerns and the stress and tension of daily living.
