About Leah Emmott

Leah Emmott is a yoga teacher and the founder of Inner Fire. In late 2011, Leah had to undergo emergency surgery for an ovarian cyst that had grown to the size of a grapefruit. After the surgery, she was ordered to take an entire month off from her job as a yoga teacher and fitness instructor. The time off allowed her to explore her creative side, and since she was stuck at home, she figured she would use her time to make some Christmas gifts for her friends. So she brushed off her old sewing machine and started making meditation cushions. She gave her friends the cushions and they said "these are nice, you should sell them!" She thought "well, if I start selling these, I should probably call it something!" The name Inner Fire came to her mind because she felt like the cyst in her belly was replaced by what yogis call "Agni", an internal fire that allows us to live our passions. From there, Leah started to expand her line of yoga props and started dappling in screen printing. Her first design was a yogic play on the word "community" - c(OM)m-UNITY ®. From there, the ideas just kept flowing and her many designs came to life, one screen print at a time. She is the original creator and owner of the trademark "I'M JUST HERE FOR THE SAVASANA®". Now, there are many designs that reflect her quirky yet uplifting take on yoga and inspired living. She designs all of the legging prints and is the art director for every collection.
