2012 me work black because it’s professional and slimming.

2025 me wears pick because… why not? 🩷

Self-expression = self-compassion. Do you agree?

27/08/2025

13 years ago I quit office life, swearing I’d never go back. But I've just started a new office job, so never say never I guess!

But the Emma of 2012 and the Emma of 2025 are worlds apart.

Back then, I thought…
✨ Climbing the ladder was the only way to be “successful.”
✨ Rest was for when you got old.
✨ A smaller body meant a better me.
✨ Pain was just something to push through.
✨ Alcohol was a personality.
✨ Corporate grey was “professional.”
✨ Hustle was proof I was enough.
✨ Joy had to be earned.
✨ Saying no was selfish.
✨ I had to fix myself to be worthy.

Now? I know better.

I know rest makes me more present.
I know joy doesn’t have to be earned.
I know kindness (to myself and others) is more important than climbing ladders.
I know I am already enough.

Would 2012 you even recognise who you are today? And I don't mean ageing or the way you look. What important life lessons have you learned?

Love,
Emma xx

I don’t have kids, but my retreats? They kind of feel like my babies.

I pour so much care into them. I try to make them beautiful, restful, meaningful.
�And just like kids — once they’re out in the world, I can’t control what happens.�How many people register.�Whether it goes ahead.�Whether it lands.

The Bali retreat is magic.�But the Loving Kindness retreat in Denmark — the one I host right here in WA — holds something really special.

🌿 You don’t need a passport or a plane ticket�🌿 You don’t need to do yoga (there’s no yoga!)�🌿 You just get three quiet nights to yourself in a cosy chalet at the Floating Forest

Right now, I don’t have enough people booked to run this retreat. And I’d love to share it with you.

If you’ve been thinking about coming — or just dreaming of a reset that doesn’t require flying to Bali — this might be your sign.
💗 It’s restful.�💗 It’s local.�💗 It’s full of softness.

And I’d be so honoured to have you there.

At the end of every yoga class, I love to share a Loving Kindness meditation. 💗

It’s simple, powerful, and accessible for everyone. You don’t need a yoga mat or special setup — just a few minutes to repeat phrases like:
✨ May you be happy
✨ May you be healthy
✨ May you be safe
✨ May you be loved

And the magic is… it works. Shoulders soften, the breath deepens, and the whole nervous system gets permission to rest.

Now imagine three whole days of that feeling — space to pause, gentle meditation, nourishing meals, and time where everything is taken care of for you.

That’s exactly what my Loving Kindness Retreat in Denmark this October is about.

One of my favourite ways to close every yoga class is with a short Loving Kindness meditation. 💗

It’s based on metta (meh-tah), an ancient Buddhist practice of sending goodwill and compassion to yourself and others. What I love about it is how accessible it is — you don’t need to move your body, sit cross-legged, or have any yoga experience. You can practice Loving Kindness lying in bed, walking on the beach, or even sitting quietly in the car before work.

And here’s why it works so beautifully:
✨ Repeating phrases of kindness softens the brain’s stress response
✨ Muscles relax, the breath deepens
✨ The nervous system shifts into its natural rest + repair mode

I first discovered the power of metta during my Accessible Yoga training, and ever since then I’ve made it a part of every class I teach. I’ve seen shoulders drop, jaws soften, and eyes shine just from a few minutes of this practice.

If you’d like to try it for yourself, I’ve recorded a short Loving Kindness meditation - if you'd like a copy, comment below.

And if you’re ready to take that feeling deeper… my Loving Kindness Retreat this October in Denmark is three whole days of rest, gentle yoga, nourishing food, and the kind of kindness you rarely give yourself permission to receive.

Your only job for three nights? Loving Kindness. 💗

Move in a way that supports your life.
Not someone else’s.
Not the life you had 10 years ago.
Not the one a fitness influencer is selling.

Just your beautiful, messy, real life — right now.

My classes aren’t about pushing harder or being “good” at yoga. They’re about supporting the body you live in, with compassion.

Classes start this week. You’re welcome, exactly as you are.

How do you know if a retreat is right for you?

Here are 3 signs you might be ready for the Loving Kindness Retreat this October 💗
1️⃣ You’ve been caring for everyone else and feel depleted.
2️⃣ You can’t remember the last time you felt truly rested.
3️⃣ You’d love someone else to hold all the details for once.

If you’re nodding along… you’re not alone. Most of the women who come on retreat tell me they’ve spent years looking after everyone else — kids, partners, parents, work — and what they really long for is just a few days where they can finally receive.

That’s exactly what the Loving Kindness Retreat is about. Three nights of guided meditation, nourishing meals, and cosy time to yourself in beautiful Denmark, WA.

No planning, no organising, no decisions.
Your only job? To rest, soften, and receive.

I’m starting to teach yoga again this week. New term. New schedule. A bunch of plans scribbled in my journal.

But also…. I’m a menopausal woman with a knee injury, chronic pain, and a heart still healing from grief.

So this time, I’m not coming back at full speed. I’m coming back gently.

If that’s where you’re at too — returning to something after a break, stepping into a new season, or just trying to do life while feeling a little foggy — I see you.

Let this be our reminder:

🩷 We don’t have to get it perfect
🩷 We don’t have to do it all
🩷 We can move slowly and still move forward

If you’re looking for a soft place to land this term, I’ll be holding space each week in my classes — no pressure, no performance, just kindness and breath.

If you’ve ever felt like yoga wasn’t for you — because of your age, your shape, your energy levels, your injuries — I want you to know:

✨ You don’t have to keep up
✨ You can choose rest
✨ You can use props, skip poses, or make up your own version
✨ No one is watching you — we’re all watching our breath
✨ You are already doing enough

My classes are gentle, welcoming and deeply ahimsa-y.
This is yoga that meets you exactly where you are.

Term 3 starts next week — come try it out.
