“Emma's classes have given me confidence, physically and mentally. I look forward to sessions and always leave feeling positive an empowered.”
Dave - Runner
“Emma taught me that yoga is not all about just being stretchy but with the breathwork and postures, I have extended my range of movement and stayed injury free for longer. I can't recommend her highly enough."
Claire - Teacher, Built Differently Yoga
"Following a decline in my health all I was hearing was 'have you tried yoga'. Ha I thought, like yoga is going to cure or even help my chronic illness, I can hardly walk without pain, I'm not fit enough, I'm too anxious... The negativity and excuses went on and on. Eventually I tried a couple of classes and guess what? I absolutely HATED it. And then I found her, the first teacher who got it, she heard me, she heard my pain and she heard my silent voice seeking peace."
Marie - Teacher
"Emma's classes are my favourite part of the week. The final relaxation makes everything worthwhile."
