Use this link to book onto my current Yoga for All course OR you can book onto individual classes using the 'Drop in' option.

As last time, the course is made up of 6 weeks, but if you miss the beginning remember you can book on at any time and the price will adjust according to however many weeks are left (so if there are 4 weeks left, it will show as £40)

This course will allow us to dive into two of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the Yamas and the Niyamas. Most people attend yoga for the physical benefits, the 'Asana' practice, but movement is just one limb of eight elements or steps in our yoga journeys on the path to a more enlightened life.  According to Patanjali (the 'Father of Yoga'), the Yamas and Niyamas are the first steps on this journey and describe attitudes and values that we should aim to have to live a full, good and authentic life.

Alongside our usual yoga practices, we will explore these principles over the 6 weeks, so that you can hopefully benefit from these learnings in your daily life.

If you have any questions at all regarding this course or how to book onto any of my classes, please send me a message via the Contact section of the website.

Thanks and look forward to going on this wonderful yoga journey with you.

Yoga for All (Exploring the Yamas & Niyamas) Feb/March 25

Sally Dexter

Really welcoming friendly calm atmosphere,  I was able to work at my own pace , I was in some pain at the start of the session but it helped relieve the pain by the end, looking forward to the next session. 

Jane Huntley

Emma's classes are my weekly treat - a little time for me; time to relax, time to stretch and time to switch off for a while. 
There is something for every; lots of alternatives to poses, no pressure and time to move at your own pace.  
The mini massage at the end is the icing on the cake! 
Thank you Emma 🌟

'121 Yoga' - building a bespoke programme to meet your yoga goals

121 Yoga

Would you like to improve wellbeing and performance in your workplace?  Studies prove that having an opportunity at the beginning or middle of a work day to move, mobilise and stretch the body can increase mental clarity, creativity, focus and productivity for the rest of the day.  In-work yoga sessions are also a great incentive/ reward to be able to offer to your employees.

Our yoga sessions provide the perfect opportunity for you and your colleagues to take a moment out of the day to recharge, refresh and rebalance in body and mind. We normally include some strength and mobility work, energising movement flows, breathwork and mindfulness but can tailor the sessions to what works best for you and your business.

We can provide mats, blocks and equipment (for up to 20), you just need to provide the space. We can work around equipment to an extent.  As long as you can create a bit of floor space, we can get people yoga-ing! Option for Chair Yoga too if that suits your layout/ colleagues better.  We are happy to lead a session for as many people as your space allows, the price remains the same.

Contact Emma on balanceworksyoga1@gmail.com or 07905 281629 for more information and pricing. Prices start from £100 but depend on length, frequency and location of class. Discounts available for booking a block of sessions.  

Or simply select a date and time that suits you and we will be in touch to arrange the rest and discuss payment options.

We look forward to bringing the magic of yoga to refresh and revitalise your workplace.  Find out more today!

Hi, my name is Emma and I have been practising yoga for over 20 years, on and off.  After many years of running and attending various circuits/ bootcamp style classes, 8 years ago I rediscovered yoga and remembered how powerful it is at helping so many areas of my life.  Not just the physical side of improving my flexibility and reducing my chances of injury and pain, but also more importantly encouraging me to slow down and even 'stop' for a moment (something I found very difficult without feeling guilty!).  Sometimes my favourite part of a class was the Savasana relaxation at the end as I was being given permission to relax, something I wouldn't do on my own!).

Eventually I started taking some different courses to further my yoga journey, from courses in inversions/ handstands (covid obsession!) to foundations courses teaching me more about the philosophy and history behind yoga.  I found that every single thing I learned about yoga I loved and just wanted to learn more, hence finally taking the plunge and embarking on my 200hr Yoga Teaching Training with Akarmalife Studio in Ampthill in 2023.

I have been a primary school music teacher for 20 years and although loved working with children, I knew I needed a change so decided to set up yoga classes locally, trying to introduce yoga to as many different people as possible.

I love welcoming anyone and everyone to my classes, enjoying the challenge of adapting a class to anyone who wants to come along and give it a go, hence introducing my popular Yoga for All class.

Eventually, I plan to set up some different styles of classes, once I have got to know my clients and understand what they need and like.  But for now, I kind of like a whole range of local people coming together, from different backgrounds, experiences and ages (current youngest is 13 and oldest is 79!). It really is Yoga for All and everyone is most welcome.

Discover Balanceworks Yoga, where we can help you to harness the power of yoga to build a more harmonious life.  Our philosophy is rooted in kindness towards yourself, embracing the idea that our yoga practice is a journey, not a destination.  Yoga is also so much more than just physical movements; we like to include some exercise and space for the mind and breath in all our classes and opportunities for them all to connect together.

It is important that everyone feels welcome and included in our classes and understands that it is not the goal for everyone to look the same, but for us all to find what feels good for our bodies and minds.  We therefore encourage the use of blocks and props to enable everyone to be able to access all the poses at a level that works for them.

Join us at any of the lovely local venues around Bedford to experience the benefits of yoga and let it positively influence your life.
