The Fearless Om is a collaboration between Emilie Maynor (Emilie Maynor Elemental Living) and Annie Damsky (Villager Yoga) rooted in mutual compassion and respect for one another and shared values of how we live this practice called yoga. Our desire is to offer authentic and approachable teachings that inspire self-study, acceptance and community. We strive to provide ongoing experiences that will enable others to be centered and live fearlessly.
Emilie Maynor is a Wellness Coach and Yoga Instructor working with individual clients and corporations to live healthier, mindful lives with ease.
Emilie's yoga journey began nearly 10 years ago when she discovered the powerful impact of self-study and awareness. In 2009, she completed her 200 Hour certification through Birmingham Yoga. Her education continued as yoga concepts overflowed into her time in the kitchen; she realized that yoga is a practice on and off the mat which inspired Emilie to complete a Holistic Health Coaching certification through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and launch her business, Emilie Maynor Living.
Most recently, Emilie completed a 300 Hour Elemental Yoga Therapy certification. This training is the last piece of the puzzle to help Emilie connect the dots between food, breath and movement and inspire her clients to claim the grounded, rich lives we all truly crave.
Annie Damsky became a committed yoga practitioner in 2004. Yoga was the only cure to her case of the Sundays and the only physical exercise that felt worth sticking with on a regular basis.
In 2009 she achieved her 200-hour certification through Birmingham Yoga. What resonated the most with Annie was the power of yoga to lay a foundation of steadiness and ease for individuals of all ages. Annie believes through these individual foundations, our communities will grow stronger and more peaceful as we bring mindfulness and acceptance into our everyday lives.
In 2012 Annie opened Villager Yoga as a studio for the whole family, teaching classes for kids, families, expecting moms and student of all abilities. She feels like each class she teaches is a short workshop, especially with the perspective she gains from her gurus of all ages, and she relishes any opportunity to come together and share yoga as a community.
