Meet Emile, Founder & Good Vibe Guru

Born and raised in the mountains above the beautiful Sonoma Valley, Emile fell in love with Santa Cruz and all her charms the first time he came here on a surf trip with his dad.  Studying philosophy at Cal Poly and travels far and wide surfing led Emile to a mindful, fun and challenging form of exercise. His wonderful mother booked a session with the fantastic Madeline Black and hasn’t looked back since.  The shoulder stretches, extension through the spine and attention to detail in full body, connected movements were like scratching an itch he’d had his whole life. Beginning his Pilates training at Agile Monkey in Santa Cruz, he has been incorporating his love of breathing and stretching, happy fun and healthy movement that Pilates offers. Being a student of Polarity Therapy has furthered his physiological and anatomical understanding of the body but also movement in the body as a connection to our best selves. The good vibe sanctuary at Studio Emilio Santa Cruz welcomes people to shine their brightest, vibrate at their natural frequency’s and be their most authentic selves.
