Hi, I'm Emma

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher with over 500 hours of training and offer private classes, corporate yoga and wellbeing workshops, stress management programs, special events, and pre and postnatal yoga classes.

Based on the Central Coast of NSW, I service the Central Coast, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Hunter Region, and Sydney.

As someone who also works in a corporate environment, I understand the pressures of modern life and the importance of creating space for mindfulness, movement, and stress management. This is why corporate yoga and workplace wellbeing are areas I am particularly passionate about.

My yoga journey began in 2014. While I can't remember the exact date, I will never forget how it made me feel. It was a cool winter evening in a candlelit studio filled with the scent of incense. The teacher's calm presence created a welcoming and supportive environment, and by the end of that class I knew I had found something special. That experience sparked a passion for yoga that continues to shape my life today.

In 2016, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Upaya Yoga in Goa, India. Drawn back by my love of the practice and desire to deepen my understanding, I returned to Upaya in 2019 to complete a further 300 hours of training, achieving my 500-hour accreditation.

At the opening ceremony of my advanced teacher training, we were asked to introduce ourselves and explain why we wanted to become yoga teachers. My answer came easily:

"I love the way yoga makes me feel, and I want to help other people feel that way too."

That purpose continues to guide me as a teacher today.

Throughout life's ups and downs, yoga has taught me the importance of self-awareness, mindfulness, and resilience. It has helped me navigate periods of anxiety and challenge by encouraging me to slow down, connect with myself, and approach life with greater balance and compassion. Yoga continues to teach me valuable lessons every day, from self-discipline and patience to listening to and caring for my body.

My intention as a teacher is to share the sense of wellbeing, connection, and joy that yoga has brought into my life. By blending the wisdom and traditions I learned during my time in India with the realities of modern Western life, I hope to help my students create more balance, happiness, and fulfilment both on and off the mat.
