Built around your body
Therapeutic yoga is for bodies that need the practice built around them rather than the other way round. The groups are deliberately small, the pace is slow, and nearly everything is adapted. Many people come here alongside physiotherapy or after being told by a clinician that gentle movement would help.
Commonly worked with
Persistent lower back and neck pain.
Recovery from surgery or a long illness.
Joint conditions and reduced mobility.
Before you start
Emma will ask about your history, your current symptoms and what makes them worse, and she will keep asking as things change. That conversation is part of the class, not an administrative preliminary.
What the hour is like
Mostly floor and chair-based work with a lot of props, focused on joint care, gentle strengthening and breathing. Nothing is held to the point of strain and nothing is pushed for the sake of progress.
Why people come here
Small groups
Numbers are kept low so everything can be adapted.
An ongoing conversation
Emma keeps asking how you are, because it changes.
Nothing forced
Nothing is held to strain and nothing is pushed for progress.
Alongside your clinician
This is not a substitute for medical care and Emma will say so. It sits alongside it, and works best when your clinician knows you are coming.
What regulars say
Marianne C.
After my surgery I was frightened of moving at all. Emma asked more questions in the first ten minutes than anyone had asked me in six months, and built the hour around the answers. I am doing things I had written off.

Yes. Drop-in classes and pay-as-you-go class packs sit alongside our memberships, so you can practise as often or as rarely as suits you.
Fifteen minutes before your first class, and around five for every class after that. It gives you time to check in, settle and set up your mat without rushing.
Pause or cancel anytime with 30 days notice. There are no joining fees and no lock-in contracts, and any unused class credits stay on your account.
We do. Several of our teachers are qualified in pre and postnatal practice and in therapeutic yoga. Let us know before class so your teacher can adapt the session for you.
