The Lake House would like to introduce Emmy Marquardt, a new Lake House Yoga Instructor.
Emmy Marquardt grew up in Connecticut where she and her husband raised their two sons. After many years working in a global corporate environment she retired and began to pursue her interests in yoga, shamanism and energy work.
Emmy and her husband now enjoy retirement living on Seabrook Island. In addition to spending time with family and friends she also enjoys play time at the beach with her dog, dancing, gardening, travel, music, camping and fine dining.
Emmy received her Kripalu 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certification in 2011 and is a member of the Kripalu Yoga and Ayurveda Association. She has been teaching gentle, moderate and private Kripalu based classes and leading Yoga Nidra workshops.

Yoga Nidra Workshop
with Emmy Marquardt, RYT
Date: Monday, February 10
Time: 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Where: Live Oak Hall of The Lake House
Cost: $20
Yoga Nidra or “yogic sleep” is a deep guided meditation with benefit claims equivalent to 6 or more hours of REM sleep. No prior experience is required to enjoy this in-depth relaxation practice. Join us to release tension and invoke an inner sense of peace.
This workshop begins with some gentle movement on the mat to release tension in the body prior to settling in for the practice of Yoga Nidra.
During Yoga Nidra you will be lying on the floor for approximately 60 minutes while listening to a guided meditation. Mats are available at the Lake House or bring your own. You will need to bring at least two blankets and any additional comfort items such as pillows, eye covering, socks. The body naturally cools down while resting so it is important that you bring enough items to ensure your comfort.
Thoughts often bubble up as a result of this practice. There will be time at the end of the workshop for journaling if you would like to bring a pen and book to do so.
Please note, space in this workshop is limited to 15 participants and preregistration is required. Spots are filled on a first come first serve basis. The cost for each of this workshop is $20 per participant. This workshop is not included in the monthly class pass and there are no refunds. The fee will be charged to your property owner/club account and the classes are available to Seabrook Island Property owners, Seabrook Island Club members, and guests staying on Seabrook Island.
For more information or to register for the Yoga Nidra Workshop, please email Emmy at emmarquardt@gmail.com.
