Hi, I’m Emma

I’m a yoga and Pilates teacher, bodywork therapist, and certified Oxygen Advantage® instructor, with over 25 years of experience exploring movement, breath, and the human body.

My work brings together yoga, functional breathing, and hands-on therapies to support relaxation, restore balance, and improve overall wellbeing.

Through my own journey, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how breath, movement, and the nervous system are interconnected. I integrate this into my classes, treatments, and retreats – creating space for people to slow down, reconnect, and build sustainable practices that support their health.

I offer yoga and Pilates classes, bodywork sessions, retreats, and breathing education, working with individuals and groups in a practical and accessible way.

Sessions are available in person in Whangamatā, online, or within corporate and group settings.

I’ve had the pleasure of being taught yoga by Emma and receiving one of her craniosacral treatment. Emma has such a depth of knowledge about the mind, body and soul connection and has a fabulous way of weaving these together during a yoga practice. Her yoga classes and treatments are like no other and are a must!!! Do yourself a favour and book in for an online yoga class or treatment - you’ll not regret it!!

Thank You Emma for treating our dogs with Bowen Therapy. Our Airedale Jack had spondylitis and Emma provided relief, both dogs reacted positively when they arrived at Emma’s practice - so that’s always a good sign that something is working. I also received Bowen treatment from Emma - highly knowledgeable, everything seems to come from her heart and we totally trust her experience and skill.

History

I have been practising Yoga for 25 years and have been privileged to practice with and learn from some incredible yoga teachers. I’ve tried many styles of Yoga and found myself inspired to learn and teach Yin Yoga and Hatha Flow Yoga. These are both very different styles but very complementary to each other in their Yin and Yang natures, and we should aim to find a balance between both.

Passion

I’ve realised that many people attend yoga classes and often come away feeling intimidated and unheard and even injured, this saddened me as I know Yoga can and should be made accessible to every BODY. It should be a practice that is healing and nurturing even when we are doing a practice that may be challenging us on many levels – MIND.BODY.SOUL.
