In my Yoga for All classes, through a mindful blend of movement and stretching, you’ll be guided to build strength, improve mobility, and support better balance and alignment in the body. Each class is designed to help you move with greater ease and awareness, with plenty of options offered throughout so you can adapt the practice to suit your own needs on the day.

Alongside the physical practice, we also include some grounding meditation and breathwork, creating space to slow down, pause, and reconnect with yourself. A savasana relaxation at the end includes an optional mini massage to help you rest and restore and allow your body and mind to fully absorb the benefits of the practice.

You’ll also be gently introduced to elements of yoga philosophy, inspired by the yamas and niyamas—ancient teachings that offer simple, meaningful guidance for living with greater balance, clarity, and compassion in everyday life. These reflections are shared in an accessible, down-to-earth way, inviting you to take what resonates and carry it beyond the mat.

Each session is an opportunity to arrive just as you are, and leave feeling more centred, supported, and balanced.

Gail Leadbetter

Lovely hour with Emma, muscles stretched and mind relaxed. 

Anne Paul

This is my second  term with Emma which I have enjoyed immensely. 1 had done yoga for many years pre covid but had not gone back to a class for the last 4 years I have fallen . back into it with the easy natural way Emma teaches. Not only is she one of the best yoga instructors I have had but a thoroughly nice person. Great personal skills as well as having the most amazing hands for our end of class massage. I look forward to the class every week.

Thank you Emma for another relaxing yoga session. I really look forward to Wednesday evenings; they are my oasis of calm each week.

Caroline  Richardson 

The class is perfect for all abilities and ages. Emma shows a range of levels of movement and the relaxation at the end, you leave feeling both challenged and relaxed. As someone returning to yoga after a long break, I have a new understanding and love for it. Highly recommend to anyone!

Lovely to start the new term.  Really enjoyable class, thank you Emma!

Julie Vesely

Emma really helped to re build my confidence during the session following a fairly lengthy break from yoga. She worked me just at the right pace to test me yet adapt certain movements and also enable me time to reach my current capability. 
I very much look forward to working with her in the future. 

Sally Dexter 

Loved this weeks session, the gentle speeches particularly helped with my hips and back, hoping that mu balance will improve over time. So glad I started Yoga, Emma seems to understands individual abilities and gives enough encouragement without pressure. 

Yoga for All - Winter term

Emma’s yoga class is suitable for all abilities,  Emma always provides the opportunity to adapt the moves to suit your body , and the relaxation at the end is the perfect escape from a busy week.

Yoga for All - Feb/March 26

Angela Bohm

Emma’s classes are so enjoyable. She takes time beforehand to set a relaxed, warm and welcoming place. The movements are not rushed and are at a good pace.    She offers many options to suit everyone’s  abilities,  from advanced to beginners, so you don’t feel uncomfortable in a pose and she takes notice of how we are moving. 
She has all the equipment you need and the bonus mini massage at the end for those who want it is a delight. 
My body always feels more mobile and stronger when I leave the session and my mind a lot calmer.  Definitely worth it. 


Joyce Shilladay

I have found the sessions very relaxing, a calming atmosphere too.  Thank you

KATIE HOLMES

The sessions with Emma have been perfect.  Emma has a lot of yoga knowledge. They are at an ideal pace and designed so you don't need to match Emma's every move.  My husband and I always leave feeling calm and rejuvenated.

How did you find out about this event?

Join us for a friendly and welcoming **Chair Yoga** class designed for **everyone** – whether you're new to yoga, working with limited mobility, recovering from injury, or just looking for a gentler way to stretch and strengthen.

Using the support of a chair, we explore mindful movement, breath awareness, and relaxation in a way that’s safe, accessible, and enjoyable. There will be options to stand and improve our balance and coordination and sometimes gentle movement/dance to music (something we have found to be really calming and fun!)

You’ll improve flexibility, balance, and posture while calming the mind and boosting your mood. A chair offers a stable base for less mobile individuals and is highly adaptable to the physical needs of a variety of disabilities and injuries, such as people with special needs who have varying degrees of physical disability. Chair yoga can also benefit people with other conditions, like high blood pressure; anxiety; chronic fatigue syndrome; arthritis; multiple sclerosis; depression; and chronic pain. Also suitable for those with mobility issues including wheelchair users.

Expect a light-hearted, supportive atmosphere where you can go at your own pace. Come as you are – all ages, all bodies, all levels welcome 😊

I understand that, as with any physical activity, there is a risk of injury when taking part in yoga. I will listen to my body, practise within my own limits, and choose variations or rest when needed.  I understand that yoga, breathwork and relaxation practices may sometimes bring up emotions, and I take responsibility for my own wellbeing during the class. I will let the teacher know about any injuries, health concerns or anything that may affect my practice. I accept responsibility for my own practice and understand that Balanceworks Yoga and the teacher are not responsible for injuries that occur from not following guidance or practising beyond my own limits.

Recharge the physical body whilst renewing the mind and spirit through the healing power of nature.

This perfect midsummer mini-retreat includes:

- Energising yoga to awaken the body and invite inner clarity
- Guided meditation walk, harnessing the creative energy of the Spring

Renew & Revive Spring Yoga Afternoon

Emma understands everyone's ability and needs and personally I was in alot of pain when I started yoga 7 weeks ago.  I feel relaxed and energised after the sessions and I'm able to move easier and have less pain.  I am gradually able to do each movement better over time, it has also been an opportunity to meet other people.

A beautiful midsummer mini-retreat of yoga, nature, nourishment and deep rest.
