I love this. You’re not here to prove your worth.
You’re here to embody it…
and then invite the people who actually get it into your space.
This work isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about showing up, muddy paws, big feelings, salty hair, and all. 🐾🌊 From the therapy room, Girls Group, to paddleboards, to the kids and teens I grow alongside… this space is built on care, safety, laughter, and some good juju. ✨
And here’s the wild part, as I create space for these kids to explore, regulate, and become more themselves, I keep waking up parts of me that were tucked away for a long time. Turns out healing doesn’t flow in one direction…it moves together.
This community is intentional. It’s warm. It’s honest. It’s a little unconventional. Rooted in love, with just enough spice to keep it real.
If you’re here, you belong.
If this resonates… welcome. We saved you a spot.
With love Ms Em Gen 🫶🏼

Therapy Tip Thursday
Healing isn’t just what we do in session it’s how we tend to ourselves, our people, and the spaces we move through.
Self-care and community care aren’t opposites. They grow together.
Care is contagious.
When we nurture ourselves, we strengthen the communities we belong to. 🤍

✨Behind every child’s joy, curiosity, and sense of wonder is a parent or caregiver doing the invisible work, planning, regulating, comforting, and showing up, even when it’s exhausting.
“You are the magic behind your child’s eyes all year long, but especially during the holidays. The traditions, the safety, the love… that wonder begins with you.”
If the holiday season feels heavy or overwhelming, please know this: You don’t have to do it perfectly to do it meaningfully. Your presence, consistency, and love are what your child will carry with them.
We see you. We appreciate you. And we honor all the ways you create magic every single day in your children’s lives.

Every season reminds me why I do this work. Watching kids & teens grow, heal, create, and find their voices has always been my purpose, and the biggest gift of my life. 💛
To the Sarasota community, thank you for welcoming me, my therapy pups, and all of our wild, colorful, creative programs with such open arms. You’ve given me a home to do the work I love, and I’m endlessly grateful. Here’s to the kids who inspire me daily, the families who trust me, and the memories we’ve made together ✌🏽🎨🧘🏻♀️🌊🐾🫶🏼 - All my love Ms Em

My goddess, we paddled, we flowed, and the sisterhood on the water was something special.
You made Longboat Key sparkle even more than it already does. What a blessing it is to look around and see pieces of my old prayers scattered everywhere.
Thank you for being you, and for showing up exactly as you are. I see you, and I love practicing with each one of you.
Endless gratitude to SUP East Coast Style and Shack Yoga + Fitness.
Bonus: the full cast of Barbie: Ocean Friends showed up, can you guess who is who? (Barbie, Kira, Ken) Leah, Kalesta, me.

Fellow mermaids & mermen, welcome to the home of Emily Julia Yoga!
ABOUT THE PRACTICE
Emily has found a forever love in teaching children’s yoga. She specializes in creating targeted programs to allow children to explore their own energy, while finding balance and growth. Emily has partnered with local entrepreneur, Leah Goodman (owner and founder of SUP East Coast Style) to offer creative programming in movement and self-discovery. After all, it was during her first downward dog on the paddle board, that Emily realized the true magic of the ocean. With this new love of teaching on land and sea, Emily created the brand, "Not Your Average Mermaid".
ABOUT
Emily Generazzo is the creator and founder of Emily Julia Yoga. Her mission is to provide a place for people of all ages to feel connected and empowered on their journey of self-discovery. After receiving her first 200-hour RYT certification from Mantra Yoga Studio, in 2016, she began teaching and realized that yoga held the key to unlocking her true purpose in life, empowering those around her. During her second teacher training at Sanctuary Center for Yoga and Healing, she was given the gift of travel and expansion in India and it was there that she learned about the appreciation of culture and identity. Upon returning home, Emily continued trainings and gradually began the process of looking through a new lens began to develop her practice. She has created relationships with individuals who started as her teachers and later became mentors. By day, Emily is pursuing her Master's degree at Lesley University, in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. She gives of her time by honoring all individuals who take her classes on traditional yoga mats, or those who prefer to ride the waves on paddle boards and everything in between. It is Emily’s hope to one day have her own holistic healing center, for children and adults to participate in yoga workshops, classes, healing sessions and creative art.
As my earth grounds me
My air guides me
My water nourishes me
And my fire, sets my soul. – Emily Generazzo
