About Emanuela

Since completing my teacher training with the British Wheel of Yoga, the governing body for yoga in England, I have never stopped learning through my personal practice and study. It is through yoga that I have developed a keen interest in the human body and the power of the mind. I believe yoga can be a powerful tool of transformation for our entire lives, at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

What Our Yoga Practitioners Say

"Often I'll arrive at Emanuela's class in a rush with my head buzzing and my breathing shallow and agitated but I never leave that way. Emanuela has a true gift for imparting calm and developing serenity within those who practise with her. She has a genuine depth of knowledge that she is always willing to share whether it be an alternate posture for physical reasons or suggestions as to how to develop theoretical knowledge. Her voice is soothing and her manner calm, welcoming and utterly non-judgmental. I have found much joy and peace through her yoga sessions and cannot recommend her highly enough".
Kathi
"I have attended one of Emanuela’s yoga classes for some years and have always found her to be an excellent and intuitive teacher, so when she suggested, after I had been unwell, that I might benefit from some sessions of Restorative Yoga I thought that I would try it. I found the sessions very beneficial. It was so simple to just stay in the poses and breathe.  It felt  as though  deep seated tensions that I didn’t even realise were there just rose up and floated away. I feel it would be helpful to have some more sessions from time to time to keep myself in balance so I have made myself a promise to do this."    
Janet
"For the last 20 years or so I have had problems with my left shoulder, a stiffness which could become painful when I was under stress or tried to do any strenuous physical activity. I started Emanuela's gentle yoga class about 6 months ago and she showed me an exercise for my shoulders which I started to do each day at home. After about 2 or 3 weeks I noticed that my shoulder wasn't hurting as much and then the discomfort completely disappeared. And it hasn't returned to this day and I am able to do a wide range of physical activity with no problem at all. I would like to thank Emanuela for using her knowledge and experience to help me overcome this long standing problem. I continue to go to her classes and get so much from each one."
