Meet the Team
Founder / Yoga Teacher / Host
Gaya
Meet Gaya, founder of After Asana and retreat host. After a challenging 2025, she started the After Asana newsletter as a space to write, reflect, and make sense of a difficult year. During that time, yoga became one of the few things that consistently helped her get out of her head and into her body, and she realised many people come to the practice for the same reason.
In early 2026 a personal goal to hike Machu Picchu sparked a love of hiking, long days outdoors, and time spent in beautiful places. Together, these experiences shaped her vision for After Asana retreats: simple, well-paced weeks centred around movement, nature, nourishing food, and good company.
When she's not teaching yoga, you'll find her outside chasing sunshine, writing, reading, going to concerts, and spending time with friends.
Marketing Lead / Communications / Co-host
Emmalynn
Meet Emmalynn, the marketing lead at After Asana.
Originally from Oregon, USA, she grew up with a love of the outdoors, camping and hiking, but also basically any excuse to be outside. She practices yoga regularly, but she also loves dancing, hiking, and running, believing that movement is key for feeling good in mind and body and is amazing at bringing people together.
Emmalynn moved to Prague in 2022, where she has made a life connected to people, place, and shared experiences. When she’s not exploring her many hobbies, she works in social justice and political advocacy. She also pursues freelance photography and marketing work, always looking for ways to tell meaningful stories.
