Meet the TLC team: Emily Floreani

Emily is a Yoga Teacher and Acupuncturist with a passion for movement, mindfulness, and natural health. She began her yoga journey in 2020 and quickly fell in love with the practice, inspired by its ability to support both physical and mental wellbeing. This led her to complete her Yoga Teacher Training in Byron Bay in 2021, followed by Yin Yoga Teacher Training in 2022.

Driven by a lifelong love of learning, Emily completed her Acupuncture studies in 2025 and is currently practising while undertaking her final year of Chinese Herbal Medicine studies.

Having grown up dancing, Emily brings a playful and intuitive approach to movement. Her classes weave together influences from yoga, dance, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, creating creative and accessible experiences that encourage students to move in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

Emily believes yoga is for everybody, regardless of age, experience, or background.

Her goal is to create a welcoming space where people can connect with their bodies, cultivate awareness, and enjoy movement without judgement.

You can find Emily teaching Tuesdays 9:30am slow flow & Wednesdays 9:30am Vinyasa 🤎

Big love,
TLC

Tell us about your journey with TLC
I started teaching in this space before it became The Loft. At the time, I was working as a personal trainer and Pilates instructor, looking for somewhere to teach my own classes.
When COVID hit, our little community kept showing up for outdoor and online classes. Later, I was offered the opportunity to take on the space permanently, and that’s how The Loft was born.
As my own practice has evolved over the years, so has the studio. Today we’re an incredible team of ten offering more than thirty classes each week, and I’m endlessly grateful for the community we’ve built together.
(Scroll through for a little trip down memory lane and some photos from the early days)

What has becoming an instructor taught you?
Teaching has helped me discover my purpose. It has shown me that my way of serving the world is by helping people come home to themselves. I believe we’re here to live deeply, love well, care for one another, and move through life with more presence, compassion and connection. If my classes can help people experience even a little more of that, then I feel like I’ve done what I came here to do.

What are you learning about at the moment?
My bookshelves are usually filled with psychology, philosophy and yoga, but right now I’m having so much fun learning Indonesian before my next trip.

If you had a slow morning to yourself, how would you spend it?
Tea and a book in bed with my phone off, then movement and sunshine and a moment to practice gratitude, self-love and remind myself why I’m here.

What’s something people might not know about you?
I’m a black belt in Taekwondo 🥋
