What people say about us

Pregnancy yoga with Emma was an incredible experience—relaxing, connecting with other mums-to-be, and preparing me for birth. It’s perfect for everyone, with gentle, accessible practices focused on relaxation and birth preparation rather than strenuous activity... Postnatal yoga was a wonderful way to recharge while bonding with my baby and easing tension from long breastfeeding sessions. The couples’ workshop was a highlight, equipping us with practical tools to work as a team during labour. Highly recommend!

Maria Rousia

I have been doing regular Shiatsu sessions with Emma at the Centre for almost two years now. It has really helped me deal with the stiffness, pain and discomfort that comes with living with fibromyalgia. Each session helps me “check-in” with my body and supports me in restoring my energy physically and mentally. I highly recommend it!

Natalia Kouhartsiouk

The Centre is a wonderfully calming and welcoming place to come and practise yoga, have a shiatsu or attend one of the many interesting workshops. Emma's gentle, hands-on approach to teaching has helped me improve in my practice, safe in the knowledge that I am in the good hands of one of the most experienced and professional teachers I have ever had.

Emily Millett

I love Emma's yoga classes at The Centre. She really knows her stuff! Emma's approach is the most comprehensive and enjoyable I've experienced so far. At The Centre I get to calm my mind and workout my body at the same time, and I love her brief reflections before each session which help me set intentions for the week ahead.

Katerina Parpa

We had some corporate online yoga sessions with Emma during the lockdown. Yoga was good for all levels. Calming and good for the back and tight muscles. Highly recommended.
