feedback for Inner Peace:

“Thank you so so much Emily you are so kind and easy to approach. I absolutely loved doing this course and I feel a lot more enlightened about my own inner workings. I think I will continue these practices for a long time!”
~ Maisie

"I found this guided meditation course an excellent way to start meditation. Emily is a first rate instructor who explains all the elements in an extremely detailed and interesting way.

I have already experienced the benefits of the practice in daily life. If you are looking to start your meditation journey you could not find a better course.“

~ Liz

”I loved this course. Emily creates a lovely relaxed atmosphere perfect for mediation. She guides you through each mediation and makes you feel like no question is too silly. This is the perfect course for anyone interested in trying meditation.”

~ Katie

“Emily was great at guiding us through different meditation techniques, and I came away feeling much more relaxed and focused and to practice alone. Keeping a meditation diary was very helpful.”

~ Chris

”I want everyone to know that the meditation course is very good, I recommend it. I didn't have time to do my homework some weeks because I was busy but I've still got it there so I can do it when I'm less busy. It's made me feel more confident, happier and calmer. I can now cope with stressful situations better than I did before. Emily, thank you very much for this.”

From Overthinking to Flow: My Journey to Infinite Potential

For years, I lived in my head—overthinking every decision, trying to control outcomes and believing that success came only through relentless effort. Stress was my default state and no matter how much I achieved, it never felt like enough.

Yoga changed everything. Not just the movement or breathwork, but the deep philosophy of surrender, trust and alignment. I began shifting from force to flow, from attachment to ease, from fear to deep faith in my own infinite potential. Instead of micromanaging every detail, I started co-creating with the universe—allowing intuition, joy and synchronicity to guide my path.

The birth of this and my previous Goddess Rising Retreat and Deep Rest Retreats were proof of this shift. Instead of rigidly structuring every element, I trusted in the unfolding process. The right collaborations emerged the perfect venues became available and the days flowed seamlessly—not because I forced them to, but because I allowed them to. ✨

What previous Retreat Guests have said:

”Morning Emily, I just wanted to say how wonderful the day was yesterday. I feel fantastic!! I am the tightest most inflexible person and always have hip and back pain and it’s GONE!! Besides the fact I hold all the stress in my body, I am such a knotted up person generally but my hips feel so fantastic today. I really can’t remember the last time I felt like this! Such good motivation to continue to practice everything I learnt yesterday. Thank you 🙏.“

~ Claire

”Stress was upon me before entering the event. I had not slept through the night for so many weeks. That night, I slept so peacefully & calmly & woke up in such a beautiful space my mind body & soul majestically calm. 7 days later I still feel the same. 🧘‍♀️Bliss!! Emily is blessed with such a profound gift. I’m grateful that I get to experience this gift & the wealth of wonderful information she imparts through her teachings of yoga /meditation with such serenity.

Namaste🤍”

~ Rosie

What Student's Say about this class...

"I’ve practiced yoga for over 30 years but had drifted away partly because of issues with joint pain. I am really grateful to Emily for bringing me back to yoga and its great benefits, which were evident within a few weeks of feeling stronger and more flexible. I began shortly after a knee arthroscopy and Emily was very considerate with protection for my knee and alternative postures. The benefits to work life balance have also been appreciated - simply being able to let go, breath and relax in meditations led by Emily."

-Julia - Yoga Student

"Emily teaches through movement and mindfulness an awareness of body and being within the world.

The asanas encourage both physical and mental strength and flexibility and Emily’s clear instruction makes following the poses easy.

I feel rejuvenated after a yoga session with Emily, at peace with myself, and week by week my body is being gently coaxed into optimal strength and wellness."

- Rachel - Yoga Student

"Emily is an amazing yoga instructor. Each class is the perfect balance of challenge and chill, and you finish feeling energised and calm, like you've worked out and then gone to the spa. Her love of yoga is infectious and she manages to bring everyone together and take us on a journey. Highly recommend!"

- Stephanie - Yoga Student

For those Who’ve Been Holding It All Together

A sanctuary for midlife seekers ready to soften, replenish and rise — honouring the seasons, embracing the body and coming home to themselves through yoga, meditation and sacred seasonal rhythms.

You don’t have to hold it all together anymore.

If you’re feeling the weight of always being the strong one…

If your nervous system is quietly crying out for rest…

If you long for space to breathe, feel and simply be —

You’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep pushing through.

This is a sanctuary for those in midlife and beyond who are ready to reclaim their rhythm.

Not through hustle, but through softness. Not through striving, but through presence.

This is not just a course. It’s a rhythm. A return. A remembering.

Inside The Sacred Rhythm Collective, we journey through the year together using the ancient wisdom of yoga, meditation, and breath to anchor ourselves — season by season — in what truly matters.

Each phase of the year offers a fresh invitation:

• Root – Ground yourself. Reconnect with safety, stillness and nervous system healing.
• Rest – Slow down. Honour wintering, inner listening and deep rest as revolutionary acts.
• Rise – Reawaken. Move gently into growth, strength, and soulful direction.
• Radiate – Expand. Share your gifts and embody your full expression with joy and clarity.

This cyclical, embodied model becomes your personal compass — guiding your healing, your growth, and your return to radiance.

What’s Included

• Seasonal live yoga and meditation classes (online & occasional in-person gatherings)
• An evolving library of classes, rituals, and reflections
• Optional seasonal workshops and retreats
• Self-inquiry prompts and journaling guides
• A nurturing online community space
• Priority access and discounts to events and mentorship opportunities

Come home to your body. Come home to your breath. Come home to yourself.

This is for the seekers who are ready to honour a new way of living — one rooted in embodiment, not burnout. In inner wisdom, not noise. In sacred rhythm, not the constant rush.
