Nervous system led practice for intelligent minds that struggle with stress.
“I found your attitude toward your body—gentle, respectful, even loving—really moving. It challenged me to consider whether I could feel the same about mine. You create such an inclusive, grounded space where everyone feels welcome, regardless of ability and you explain things with care and clarity. That kind of permission-giving is rare and powerful.” - Andrew
Move from chaos to calm with science backed yoga, meditation and expert guidance.
I’m Emily, a yoga therapist helping stressed high-functioning adults in midlife shift out of survival mode and into a state of vitality, calm and reconnection.
Together we can rewire your nervous system if you’re stuck in overdrive. Quieten the constant background hum of stress.
If you’ve outgrown the fixes that used to work let’s shape a practice that meets you where you are today, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
My approach draws on ancient yogic philosophy paired with modern science, not just for relaxation but for real transformation. Together, we work across three essential layers of change:
🌀 State
We regulate the nervous system through breathwork, movement and guided relaxation — helping you feel safe, centred and at home in your body again.
🌀 Story
Through Sankalpa (heart-felt intention) and journaling, we reshape inner narratives — softening self-judgement and planting the seeds of a new self-concept.
🌀 Strategy
Using Sadhana — a personal practice anchored in rhythm and meaning — we craft practices that honour your capacity, your season of life and your deeper truth.
This is yoga as it was meant to be:
Rooted in wisdom. Backed by science.
Sensitive to your story. Powerful in its results.

Testimonials
"Stress was upon me before entering "Peace On Purpose." I had not slept through the night for so many weeks. That Sunday night, I slept so peacefully & calmly & woke up in such a beautiful space my mind body & soul majestically calm. 7 days later I still feel the same. Emily reminded me to change my story around stress & to keep checking in on myself😊 which I'm doing on a regular. I now meditate daily🧘♀️ & sit in silence daily. Stay grounded🧘♀️Bliss!! Emily is blessed with such a profound gift. I am grateful that I get to experience this gift & the wealth of wonderful information she imparts through her teachings of yoga /meditation with such serenity. Namaste🤍"
-Rosie - Workshop Attendee
"I’ve practiced yoga for over 30 years but had drifted away partly because of issues with joint pain. I am really grateful to Emily for bringing me back to yoga and its great benefits, which were evident within a few weeks of feeling stronger and more flexible. I began shortly after a knee arthroscopy and Emily was very considerate with protection for my knee and alternative postures. The benefits to work life balance have also been appreciated - simply being able to let go, breath and relax in meditations led by Emily."
-Julia - Yoga Student
"Emily is an amazing yoga instructor. Each class is the perfect balance of challenge and chill, and you finish feeling energised and calm, like you've worked out and then gone to the spa. Her love of yoga is infectious and she manages to bring everyone together and take us on a journey. Highly recommend!"
-Stephanie - Yoga Student
"Emily teaches through movement and mindfulness an awareness of body and being within the world. The asanas encourage both physical and mental strength and flexibility and Emily’s clear instruction makes following the poses easy. I feel rejuvenated after a yoga session with Emily, at peace with myself, and week by week my body is being gently coaxed into optimal strength and wellness."
