About us
Home Yoga was founded as an Uppsala-based, English-speaking studio by Jess Holl in 2022, which developed into a friendly community of yoga students from Sweden and abroad.
It is now run by Meghan Quinlan, Emilia Elmebring, and Elin Boyer as a co-operative. This way of organising ourselves ensures a just wage for our in-person teaching, which is increasingly difficult to achieve in hierarchical or corporate studio models. We also simply want to keep the yoga studio in the neighbourhood and the practice of yoga central to ours and our neighbours’ lives.
Meghan Quinlan is a long-time yoga practitioner and certified YTT 200-hour teacher specialising in hatha, vinyasa, and fascia-informed yoga approaches.
An academic, composer of electro-acoustic music, and writer, she brings her curiosity and attention to detail to the studio by crafting well-researched and creatively sequenced yoga classes. She is committed to making the benefits of yoga as accessible as possible, encouraging movement that opens new neuro-kinaesthetic pathways and allows for the deep relaxation of the nervous system.
She holds a doctorate in music from Oxford.
Emilia Elmebring started doing yoga on Youtube because she was too shy to take a class in person. Like others, she first saw yoga as a physical practice, but over time has learned that it’s much more than a workout. On moving back to Sweden after many years in Chile, she came to a crossroads in her life. She had been teaching languages and knew she wanted to remain a teacher. The thought of doing a yoga teacher training had crossed her mind before, and it was only through the practice of yoga itself that she was able to quell her doubts and gain the confidence to do her 200-hour teacher training.
She has now been teaching yoga, pilates and other group classes for a year and is embarking on a new journey this fall towards becoming a personal trainer.
Yoga has taught her the magic of movement and stillness. It has helped her connect with body, soul, and mind, and transformed her outlook on life. She knows that it can do the same for anyone, which is her main motivation for teaching.
Elin Boyer has had an interest in embodied practices since childhood. Today, she holds a 200-hour hatha teacher training certificate, a one-year diploma in yoga and mindfulness, and a 50-hour Embodied Social Justice certificate, as well as a 40-hour Yin Yoga teacher diploma.
With a commitment to accessibility and honoring yoga’s roots, Elin guides classes with heart-centered instructions, weaving in storytelling, mythology, and mindful touch. As a dancer and an aspiring poet she likes bringing these elements into class too.
Beyond the mat, Elin is a PhD student in environmental legal history at Uppsala University and co-founder of Kincentric Justice, an NGO addressing the current polycrisis through relational and embodied approaches.
Mindful touch is one of her passions and she will be offering massage and reiki in the studio, both of which she has trained in since childhood.
Whether tending the soil at her allotment, playing with her daughter or dancing freely, Elin’s life reflects her deep care for the body, community, and the more-than-human world.
