About Emily & Bija Works

I have been teaching Hatha yoga for over ten years in Chicago and have taught hundreds of beginning and continuing yoga practitioners. After a decade of meditation and yoga practice, I gained my 200-hour teacher training from the Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago, as well as 50 hours in trauma-informed yoga. I have worked with retirement communities, farms, studios, companies, buildings and local businesses to bring yoga to the community.

I’ve lived in Humboldt Park, Chicago, for ten years and am a proud cottage owner. In my  other job I co-operate Book Driver, a book business providing logistics for saving unwanted items and offering community pickups.

Bija Works is a garden-loving, traveling yoga center with simplicity at its core. We handle the administration of group class offerings and workshops at parks, fitness centers and buildings.

“Yoga helped me feel more comfortable in my body and seemingly miraculously heal from some defects of posture, and of mood. The experience motivated me to pass it on, to practice yoga with others, and to share yoga with elders, kids, & those who might not consider themselves flexible or athletic. I didn’t start out bendy or strong, so I love to share the empowering force of yoga with everyone!”
