Why Choose Somatic Yoga?
Yoga unites the mind, body and breath in a special way than any other practice. Somatic is all about internal awareness over external appearance. Learn to feel free & open, yet grounded & stable in your body and mind, connect with others of a similar age and explore the many wonderful benefits of Somatic Yoga.
Emma is very welcoming and friendly so if you are worried about attending alone, Emma will make you feel comfortable. As a student counsellor, soma yoga has become my weekly self care routine for not only cleansing my energy but as a spiritual practice in balancing mind, body and soul too.

My yoga journey...
Yoga was introduced in my life after a car accident in 2009 which led to severe chronic back pain. After seeing the benefits, I quickly developed a passion for yoga which led into a daily practice for pain management. In 2018, I embarked onto a new career as a sports massage therapist developing knowledge of the body & chronic pain management which has led to a successful complementary therapy business.
My journey of yoga developed deeper when I discovered the mental and spiritual benefits following from PTSD and mental health issues back in 2020. In 2022, qualified as a 250 hour meditation teacher and decided to take the plunge to train as a 200 hour yoga teacher accredited by Yoga Alliance International to give back this opportunity to others.
My classes combine play, space and stillness in a mindfulness Hatha flow style. The style of yoga is playful and fun whilst allowing you to go deeper into yourself and start on a journey of self-discovery. There is a strong focus on breath, mindful movement and meditation, aiming to bring the practice off the mat and into our daily live
Accessible yoga for all...
In all classes, the aim is to offer accessible yoga for all walks of life expelling the notion that 'yoga is just for bendy people!'. All classes ensures yoga is available to everyone by meeting them where they are at, creating inclusiveness and community feel. We explore and go beyond just physical asana by combining a balance of flexibility, connection and release to create a deeper practice. I will create space for you to explore your body in a safe and empowering way leaving you feeling nourished.
Emma goes above and beyond to produce classes that are unique. She puts in so much hard work and the dedication and love for her job is clearly evident. Emma manages to add so many layers to her practice and each time it's a beautiful experience.
