Hi, I'm Emily.

 

Welcome to my Yoga and Wellness business.

​

I'm a mother, plant lover and an advocate for slow living. 

​

I started practising yoga when I was 18 when my college put on a lunchtime class for sixth formers once a week. I used to love the gentle practice with a calming relaxation to finish. Since then, I have continued my yoga practice, attending a range of different classes taught by lots of different teachers. 

​

 I love essential oils and how they can benefit the body and the mind. I began studying aromatherapy in 2018 for my diploma, gaining knowledge of the different essential oils and the incredible benefits of using them. I wouldn't teach a class without them now.

​

In a previous life, I was a primary school teacher and Wellbeing and Mental Health lead. I've completed Mental Health First Aid courses as well as lots of mindfulness training sessions. I worked really hard to raise the profile of mental health and wellbeing for both pupils and staff across the school. This is a value that I truly believe in, which is why I wanted to build it into my business.

​

I completed my Foundation course with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2018. This gave me a great insight into some of the history and philosophy behind yoga as well as exploring many different poses, breathing techniques, meditation practices and much more. Then in 2020, I completed my Yoga Alliance 200 hour yoga teacher training and launched my business, offering yoga classes, soundbaths and events.

 

I decided to name my business 'The Sunflower Studio' because I love sunflowers. They are so cheery and vibrant and bring total joy. 

​

Book onto one of my classes and flow with me, I look forward to seeing you there.
