Emily Lark has been changing lives as a fitness and wellness coach since 2004.  She began working as a yoga and Pilates instructor and personal trainer in Chicago and she quickly grew a following for her inspirational and down-to-earth teaching style.  She has taught in studios and gyms across the country ever since. After growing up in poverty, Emily has always been passionate about making mind/body wellness affordable and accessible to everyone.  She opened her first yoga and Pilates studio in 2014 predicated on the message “Every BODY is welcome!”  Her studio has become a staple in the community – filling a need by providing low-cost, low-key classes for people of all walks of life. 

When Emily Lark was 12 years old, she survived a serious car accident that left her with chronic back pain for years.  At the age of 28 the pain became so intense she had to stop working for a year.  Told that she needed an extreme operation in order to recover, Emily decided there had to be a better way for pain relief. She consulted with top back experts and used her own knowledge of the human body to develop an exercise program to rehabilitate herself.  

She has now been pain-free for almost a decade.  And she has spent years helping others find relief by teaching this method. In order to share this powerful technique with more people, the Emily Lark Back to Life program was developed as a complete mind/body video series to relieve back pain and bring strength, flexibility and vitality back into the body.
