s of the pool. Catch her there for weekly in person yoga classes. You can also find her teaching at Battersea Yoga or Revive in south London and she runs very successful yoga retreats and workshops. In terms of style, Em is primarily trained in vinyasa and ashtanga, with a precise physical and functional approach to yoga. She pays close attention to detailed alignment and muscular engagement, whilst still maintaining creativity within her sequences. Her classes usually feature an overarching theme from week to week. The weekly focus can range from a specific muscle, area of the body, or progression towards a specific yoga pose. Her classes weave in philosophical concepts and mindfulness amidst movement, and her sequences are thoroughly planned out. Expect strong flows, with a fun energetic vibe and encouraging atmosphere. And probably a fair amount of sweat. Em’s classes are accessible for all. Modifications offered throughout for those seeking to take it easy, as well as more advanced options for those that wish to go further. Em initially trained at Sampoorna Yoga in South Goa, India in 2016, where she has since returned to work for the school itself. Training didn’t stop there: she has attended regular workshops in anatomy and biomechanics, she has completed specific trainings in yoga for beginners, yoga for seniors, as well as injury management and she completed her 500 hour advanced teacher training with Jason Crandell. Before her immersion into the world of yoga, Em received a first class degree from Bristol University in Drama and French, and a Masters on the acting course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. After a working a few years in the acting industry, Em just kept getting drawn to movement work, until yoga became her full time passion and profession. She is also about to embark on yet another degree to study Physiotherapy in London this year and take her study of the body even further. She just loves learning and can’t get enough! Which is exactly what draws her to yoga: from every practice, from every student she learns something new. Em teaches primarily in south London. Has a weekly schedule and is available for private/corporate classes. Get in touch for queries, prices negociable (depending on location and size of group.)
