First TV Show
In 2014, she appeared in the talk show Access Hollywood Live as herself in an episode dated March 21, 2014.
Personal Trainer
She is a strong Yoga follower. Emma is such a divine devotee of Yoga that she spends her time attending three different yoga classes.
- Power Yoga at Earth’s Power Yoga
- Yoga Barre at Hot 8 Yoga in Los Angeles
- Xtend Barre – West Hollywood
She feels relaxed and great after attending yoga classes. It all started out when she injured her left leg and didn’t pay attention to the wound at that time. It was after a year, she realized that she is not able to balance herself properly and as a result, started yoga to save her dance career (as none of the injections and other treatments helped her out).
Her landlord also forces her to bring out some time from her busy schedule to meditate, but she has not started out yet.
In all, a combination of lots of dancing and yoga keeps her in shape and full of energy.
