    In just over a year, doing regular yoga sessions with Em, I've gone from intermittent back pain (due to long days slumped in front of a desk) to zero pain and a feeling of being newly flexible and nimble -- fully recommended!

    Em's classes are great! She's a wonderful teacher. I live just around the corner and feel like I lucked out with these being my local yoga classes. The setting is so peaceful looking out over the lido. I've been attending the classes regularly for over a year and definitely feel a lot stronger. Thank you!

    Always a great session with Em. I really enjoy how the weeks have particular areas of focus and she focuses on strength rather than achieving instagram poses. I always feel welcomed and comfortable. The lido by fairy light at night is beautiful!
