Authenticity
Our teaching combines physical practice with traditional elements of Sanskrit, chanting, and ancient yogic philosophy. Remaining true to the authentic roots of this mindful way of living.
Empowerment
We strongly believe that your yoga asana practice can move beyond the physical, it's also about the lessons we take off the mat, the mental strength and stability and the understanding of breath to support us in our everyday lives.

Reviews
“The mysore practice has given me a new sense of purpose and belonging, both in community and especially in my own body. Each morning I leave the session feeling empowered for the day, with strength, resilience and motivation. I am grateful to Emma and the other teachers for sharing their wisdom, helping me to adapt the sequence and postures, and for welcoming me in as a new student.”
