Founded in 2023 by Emily Dresser, Do Yoga Outside began with a deeply personal need for healing and reconnection. After stepping away from a career in public education to prioritize her mental health, Emily found clarity, peace, and joy through one simple shift, taking her yoga practice outside. That quiet, grounding time in nature lit a spark that couldn’t be ignored.

What started as solo movement under the trees quickly grew into a vision: to create inclusive, nature-based yoga experiences that help others reconnect, with their breath, their bodies, their community, and the Earth. Traveling throughout the United States, Do Yoga Outside offers public classes, private sessions, events, and retreats—all held outdoors in wild, beautiful places.

Emily is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher, Wilderness First Responder, Oregon Registered Outfitters Guide, and a former elementary school teacher with a Master's in Education and a background in Human Development. She brings a trauma-aware, heart-forward approach to every gathering, helping students feel safe, seen, and empowered. Her deep love for nature and her passion for creating supportive community spaces are woven into every offering.

Today, Do Yoga Outside, travels teaching contracts with brands like Subaru, Trail Feast, Benchmade, Grounded Retreats and more!

Let’s share movement, stillness, and moments that matter, one breath, one class, one open sky at a time.
