Tell us about yourself?
Emmanuelle Brown is the owner and director of Chirn Park Pilates & Yoga studio. As a third generation yogini Emmanuelle was born onto a spiritual path, she was first introduced to Yoga by her Grandmother at age 4. She also studied under Reiki master Rev. Beth Grey of the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage becoming a Reiki practitioner at age 5.

This is where she met her Yoga teacher, Channa Dassanayaka, with whom she trained in a Buddhist Vinayasa Yoga. Truly inspired by Channa’s wisdom, Emmanuelle traveled to the home land of Yoga and undertook study of Yogic science and philosophy over a period of 2 years in Rishikesh, India.

She studied under her Guru, Yogi Vishvaketu of the Nath Lineage, with whom she deepened her understanding of yogic practices, history and philosophy.
