Emily Somers
Instructor at Good Vibrations Yoga, North Phoenix
Emily Somers practiced yoga on and off for years, but everything changed in 2015 when a beautiful studio opened in her neighborhood. It was there she discovered yoga could offer something much deeper than movement: a sense of peace, self-love, and acceptance.
After navigating a breast cancer diagnosis at just 29 and her own lifelong journey with body image and weight, Emily felt called to teach. She wanted to create the kind of welcoming space she had found through yoga, where breast cancer patients and survivors, bigger-bodied yogis, and anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t fit the traditional image of a “yoga person” could feel comfortable, supported, and at home.
Emily completed her 500-hour yoga teacher training through Authentic Yoga in Scottsdale in 2021. In January 2026, she completed the Healing Emphasis Yoga program through Inner Vision Yoga in Ahwatukee, further deepening her ability to offer thoughtful, supportive practices.
In addition to teaching yoga, Emily is a sound bath practitioner and an avid mala-maker. She brings warmth, compassion, and a genuine belief that yoga is for every body to each class she teaches.
