Emile Lisauskaite

Emile was born in 1996 in Kaunas, Lithuania and raised in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago, growing up between two distinct cultures.Immigrating to the United States at age six without speaking English fostered resilience, adaptability, and a deep interest in human connection.Frequent travels to Lithuania and international journeys with her grandparents nurtured her appreciation for cultural diversity and global exploration.By early adulthood, she chose experiences over material pursuits and traveled extensively, especially throughout developing regions.Witnessing community centered living and reverence for the Earth shaped her understanding of interconnection and purposeful living.Personal loss and early life trauma became turning points that guided her toward profound inner healing.Grief expanded her capacity for compassion and strengthened her commitment to living with presence and love.Periods of disconnection from her body and identity now inform the grounded and intuitive way she supports others.Her curiosity about the mind and existence began in adolescence and led her to study psychology, meditation, subconscious work, and yogic science.She completed her first yoga teacher training in 2017 and later co led the expansion of Rising Lotus Healing Center into a global retreat and education platform.Since 2019, she has trained nearly one hundred students through the Rising Lotus School of Yoga and Wellness.In 2023, she founded YOGAEM, an online space dedicated to movement, emotional intelligence, and spiritual growth.With more than 10000 teaching hours, she integrates ancient traditions with modern psychological insight.She embodies the wounded healer archetype, transforming personal pain into service and guidance for others.As a studio owner, educator, energy practitioner, and sound therapist, she bridges practical tools with subtle awareness.Her mission is to help individuals reclaim their power, reconnect with their truth, and live beyond limiting narratives.
