Upcoming Workshops
Chaturanga Tune Up
Saturday 7 October 2023
2pm - 4pm
Flo Yoga Studio,
West Hampstead.
Chaturanga is a fundamental pose in the vinyasa practice but is rarely taught. Often considered a transition from plank to upward dog, it’s easy to overlook the importance of building a strong and safe technique. If we don’t learn how to align the pose well, over time, we can create instability and strain in the shoulders.
In this workshop, you will learn:
-
safe alignment based on experiential anatomy
-
how to adapt the pose for your body and modify it when you need more support
-
how the technique in chaturanga affects upward facing dog
-
different combinations to give you more options to choose the flow that suits you.
Chaturanga is also the foundation of many arm balances so we’ll have a little time to play with different combinations and put our new poses to the test!

ABOUTEMMA
Emma is a 500 hour accredited teacher having trained with Jeff Phenix and Susannah Hoffman for two years at triyoga. She has also completed further trainings in Vinyasa yoga and Qigong with Mimi Kuo-Deemer, advanced vinyasa teacher training with Jason Crandell and mentoring with with senior YogaWorks teacher, Mia Togo.
Emma first began yoga to help with lower back pain, and hid in the back of class wondering why she couldn’t do what others made seem effortless. Nevertheless she kept at it and, after living in India in 2008, the practice became rooted in her life.
She draws inspiration from other related practices including strength training, mindfulness meditation and Qigong, an ancient Chinese energy cultivation practice.
Her aim is to encourage people of all ages and abilities to explore their own movement and develop a mindful and sustainable practice unique to them.
KINDWORDS
LOVELYPEOPLE
Emma’s yoga teaching is deceptively clever: she guides you through stretches after a relaxing warm-up so that you’re unaware how much you are working.
I’m in my 50’s and relatively flexible apart from ‘wear and tear’ and old injuries, nothing new there, but she’s measurably accurate at dealing with individual’s needs so it feels like you’ve had a one to one. Emma is fun and the class isn’t so serious that you can’t make mistakes; we learn more from them, which makes the class even better.

When I first started yoga with Emma I was a complete novice. Emma made me feel very at ease and her wonderfully calming voice sucked me into the joy of yoga straight away.
Now I can’t get enough! She explains things very clearly so even a beginner can join in confidently, and I love the way she always gives you a harder option to push yourself more if you want to.
- Emily C, corporate class since February 2016
Emma is a helpful and supportive teacher demonstrating throughout the class as well as coming to check we are in the correct positions. When I have had injuries, or something I feel is too hard, Emma quickly shows me an alternative position so that I can continue with the class. I have learnt lots with Emma, including breathing techniques which I find myself using in everyday situations. My body has become physically stronger and I have a much better understanding of my body's strengths and limitations.
