Em yoga

Feeling festive?
Feeling worn out?
Feeling all things merry and bright?
Or feeling all the above and more?

Join me on Friday for an hour to settle down, ease overwhelm or simply to treat yourself to an hour of yin, nidra and peace and quiet.

Then when rested, when we are out on the other side and into the vastness of the new year come back for Align Your Year ~ a mindful session to create a sense of direction and possibility without the pressure of doing too much.

There is so much to that simple lighting of a candle. Having a candle at home, perhaps when practicing yoga, has many benefits and especially with these gorgeous ones as part of the Em Yoga range.

What these scented candles so popular? They are relaxing due to the soft, flickering light which lowers stress hormones, triggers melatonin for sleep, and creates a calm, meditative state by reducing brain activity.

AND they are infused with essential oils to relax mind and body. The good news is that there are three types in stock - Radiance, Lunar and Meditation and all smell amazing!

A perfect gift for yourself (or a loved one of course!). £15 each plus postage. Pop me a message to order yours!

There’s something deeply soothing about lighting a candle – it is a ritual that invites us to slow down, soften, and arrive in the moment. The gentle flame, the beautiful scent, and the intention behind it all helps to shift the nervous system into a state of rest. When we light a candle with pure essential oils, it becomes more than fragrance, it becomes a practice of self-care.

All of my candles are handmade in North Yorkshire with ethically sourced soy wax, blended only with pure essential oils. Each one contains a tiny crystal bead chosen to support the intention of the blend.

Whether you are exploring the beauty of Scotland, soaking up the view of the mountains in Morocco, dancing with fireflies in Italy or soaking up the sun by a blissful pool in France I have got you covered 💚

One of my values and intentions with my retreats, in the uk or abroad, is connection with nature ~ I find that this, along with deeply restful yoga classes, morning meditation, delicious food and great company create the most brilliant effect on the mind, body and soul.

Contemplation. Quiet time. Journalling. Walking. Resting. Meditation. Mindfulness. Many ways to connect back to the Self 🧡

I love the sound of pen to paper. The gentle sound of bird song. The swish of trees in the breeze. Sunlight. Stillness.

It’s finding these then learning how we can come back to our Self even in the loudest, darkest times - when the birdsong and light may not be there.

Ultimately it’s the focus on the breath. Our most constant companion. The brilliance of our yoga asana practice helps us find this breath!

Where will you find your breath and practice this week? I hope you can join me at class in person, virtually or by booking a future event 🧡

Thank you Sarah for these beautiful words and amazing reel too:

A peaceful autumn evening capturing quiet moments for Em Yoga For You.

Autumn is the perfect time to reset, to let go of summer and embrace the fresh, crisp start of a new season.

Emma travels from Edinburgh every few months to the tranquil East Yorkshire village of Ottringham, where she leads a welcoming and well-attended yoga session. With years of experience and a passion for continual learning, Emma brings new techniques and mindful practices to every class, ensuring each session supports every level of ability.

A warm and friendly group, with many familiar faces returning and new ones joining each time. Whether you are completely new to yoga or already experienced, you’ll leave this class feeling calm, balanced, and refreshed.
