I didn’t realise that with a great instructor, a mat and some extra equipment that I would be leaving the room with a strong Epiphany. I love the process we did of talking, listening and understanding stress/anxiety before getting into the practice- because it is crucial to understand what is happening in your body before you try and change anything. I loved learning about aromatherapy and swatching the different senses. I took away so much yesterday and it’s given me another push to keep moving forward. I learnt so much and I highly recommend it." — Alice Mason"I recently attended one of the Yoga for Anxiety workshops and I can highly recommend this for anyone who has an interest in learning tools to create a calm environment, whether you experience mild levels of stress or extreme anxiety. Emma shared her own story with a room filled with strangers, making it a comfortable and safe space for others to share. A beautiful soul, I look forward to sharing in Emma's presence again in the future." — Jo Flynn"I recently attended Emma's yoga workshop in Paris and gained so much from the experience. Emma is a true inspiration and it's impossible not to be swept up in her passion for yoga. She also knows her subject inside out, so you know you're in safe hands, and she's a lovely person too. As a result of attending the workshop, I now intend to take up yoga properly." — Caroline Harrap"Emma’s workshop exceeded all my expectations, from sharing her story purposefully, cultivating a safe environment, sharing so much mental health knowledge that blew my mind and gave me new tools to take home including specific poses to do on the mat and breathing exercises. I walked in nervous and anxious and by the end of the workshop I felt deeply relaxed and felt great joy and appreciation to my self for attending and Emma for a brilliant and beautiful workshop." — Hana BegovicRead more reviews:
