With over 27 years of personal practice and study, Emma offers a yoga experience that is both grounded and expansive. Her teaching blends the precision of Anusara Yoga’s alignment principles with the thoughtful sequencing of YogaWorks, creating a practice that is physically intelligent and emotionally uplifting.

Influenced by her time in India and studies at a Sivananda ashram, Emma weaves traditional philosophy and spiritual depth into each class. Her academic background in psychology and psychotherapy, along with ongoing training in Yoga Therapy, brings a therapeutic lens to her teaching, supporting emotional well-being as much as physical health.

Each class is a carefully crafted journey, integrating asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), mindfulness, and deep relaxation to guide you toward balance, resilience, and inner connection.

What to Expect:

  1. Alignment-Focused Asanas: Drawing from Anusara (and Iyengar Yoga), the class emphasises proper alignment using props like blocks, straps, and bolsters to ensure accessibility and safety for all levels.
     

  2. Heart-Centered Philosophy: Inspired by Anusara Yoga, the practice encourages cultivating inner awareness, joy, and gratitude through heart-opening poses and affirmations.
     

  3. Thoughtful Sequencing: Borrowing from the YogaWorks methodology, the class progresses through balanced sequences that build strength, flexibility, and focus, ensuring a comprehensive full-body practice.
     

  4. Holistic Foundations (Sivananda Yoga): Drawing from Sivananda's classical approach, the class includes pranayama (breathwork), relaxation, and foundational poses to cultivate inner calm and spiritual connection.
     

  5. Therapeutic Adaptations: Emma has the knowledge to adapt and modify asana for your individual needs, addressing specific physical or emotional challenges with modifications and restorative poses.
     

  6. Mind-Body Integration (Yoga Psychology): The practice incorporates mindfulness, guided meditations, and emotional awareness to deepen self-understanding and resilience. Reflective exercises are woven to address the connection between the body and the mind, fostering clarity and emotional balance.

Who This Class is For:
This class is perfect for anyone seeking a multi-dimensional yoga practice that bridges physical alignment with mental and emotional growth. It’s particularly well-suited for those navigating stress, emotional challenges, or physical imbalances, and anyone looking to deepen their mind-body connection.
