Welcome to the home of Yoga with Emma Kelly, you can learn more about me, the work I do and the yoga classes I currently offer.
My pronouns are she/her and I'm African Caribbean and white British heritage.
Yoga with Emma Kelly is a welcoming and inclusive space for all body shapes and sizes.
Think calming, cozy, nourishing classes.
The yoga I teach is best suited to those who are needing time to learn simple, yet effective ways to relax, slow down and learn to take care of their body and mind.
The yoga asana (yoga poses) are gentle, yet effective way of supporting energy to flow freely within the body, supporting healthy joints and gentle stretching to increase range of movement and release tension and the build up and stress.
I currently offer a weekly Monday class in Northampton, a retreat to Marrakesh and a retreat to Goa.

About me
I have been a student of yoga for 17 years and I joined my first class whe studying a Social Work degree. It was a great way to relax and reduce my stress.
I completed my Yoga Teacher training in 2014 in Goa at Trimurit Yoga school, spending 5 weeks immersed in learning about the philosophy, wisdom, theory and practice of yoga.
It was important for me to complete my yoga teacher training in the birthplace and spiritual home of yoga and give great thanks and appreciation to my time in India and subsequent Indian teachers.
An important aspect of yogic wisdom I share in my classes is practices to still and slow down the busy mind and thoughts.
In Sanskrit this is "yogas chitta vritti nirodha" which refers to stilling the mind in order to experience ultimate reality and move towards self realisation.
In my spare time I'm usually out walking, foraging and practicing tarot.
I also run another business which focuses on wellness and healing with black women and women of colour, called Healing Space BIPOC which you can find out more of here, www.healingspacebipoc.com

The classes I teach aim to be sensitive and respectful to the South Asian roots of the practice and firmly acknowledge wherever possible the teachers who came before me and shared this practice.
It's very important and something I am working towards is to create a welcoming environment for people from diverse racial backgrounds, sexual orientations and those with physical and mental health problems.
I look forward to practicing yoga with you.

“I was inspired to book a place for the Marrakesh retreat, albeit with a little trepidation as a solo traveller whose experience of yoga is to put it mildly, very rusty.
I was not disappointed. Meeting Emma and the other ladies was just lovely. The Riad we stayed at could not have been more accommodating. Each morning’s gentle yoga sessions were inspirational and set one up for the day. I felt comfortable and had the added bonus of meeting new people with similar mind sets in a safe way. Opportunities also presented themselves for discovering a new city and enjoyment gained from distinct cultural vibes. You will not be disappointed.” Jennie Clarke |
