Yoga For Everyone
Emma’s class starts with a period of relaxation so that you can let the stresses of the day slip away. You then practice breathing exercises to help you breathe more easily and fully and strengthen your diaphragm. The class then follows a series of yoga poses that take you through every part of the body. This is followed by calming breathing exercises before ending with deeply relaxing yoga nidra.
Emma truly believes in the restorative powers of yoga for body and mind and her classes are designed to ensure each of her students gets the maximum benefit they can from each class, so if you fall asleep during relaxation (it does happen!) you obviously needed it! If you are at an advanced level of yoga, Emma will ensure she provides exercises to ensure you are challenged and motivated. And if you are simply new to yoga, Emma will guide and support you (quite literally) as you perform your very first poses.
Our Yoga For Everyone classes run weekly on a Monday, throughout the year, including the Summer break.
We may or may not run classes during school half term and Easter, but you will be told well in advance.
Classes are held at Midsomer Norton Town Hall, The Island, Midsomer Norton, Radstock BA3 2HQ, UK
The town is at the end of the high street and there is plenty of free parking available next to the hall and in South Road car park.
You do not need any prior experience of yoga to attend our Yoga For Everyone classes, and we guarantee you will leave feeling amazing!
Yoga is great for relaxation, flexibility, fitness and the feel-good factor what ever age, size or level of fitness you are feeling right now.
Our class is held on a Monday from 7.00pm – 8.30pm.
We do ask that you arrive a little earlier so that the class can start on time, with a little disruption as possible.
If you are joining our class for the first time, please attend 20 minutes before the class so that I have time to introduce myself to you properly before I complete some short admin with you and run through the schedule of the session with you.
We offer different options for our Yoga For Everyone class, as below:
Drop in pass: £12 per class
4 session pass: £40 for 4 sessions (to be taken within 5 weeks of the first session)

We often have earlybird deals and holiday incentives, so watch out for any deals in our newsletter.
We accept cash for our drop in classes, but our block session passes should be booked via our payment option, here:
We recommend bringing the following:
-
A yoga mat, foam blocks or cushions so that you can sit on the floor comfortably (we also have chairs available)
-
Blankets and pillows so you can feel warm and snug for yoga nidra (3 pillows and a blanket is about right)
If you don’t have these, you can *hire a yoga package for £8 per session. This includes:
-
yoga mat
-
cushion
-
block
-
pillow

sheepskin

*Please let us know in advance if you need to hire this.
All you need to wear is loose, comfortable clothing, such as a t shirt and joggers.
If you have a medical condition, limited mobility, illness or injury please let me know at the start of the class so that I can adapt your exercise.
Some weeks students come to our class stressed and choose to just lie down for the whole time with their eyes closed enjoying the calmness while the class goes on around them – we’re pretty relaxed and believe you should be too.
Absolutely!
We offer the option of buying an 4 session pass for £40 or an 8 session pass for £80.
We can even organise a printed gift card for you, if you wish.
Pregnancy Yoga
Our classes are small and friendly and provide a quiet and calm environment for you to bond with your baby, meet other mums and prepare for the birth.
With Emma’s expertise and background in breathing, you will learn about breathing techniques to help you during pregnancy, labour and birth. You will also learn about the deeply relaxing art of yoga nidra to help you sleep and practice gentle yoga poses to help you remain agile and active throughout your pregnancy.
At the end of the class you will go home relaxed and with renewed energy (and a piece of Emma’s delicious home-made cake!).
We welcome our expectant mums from 12 weeks to 42 weeks.
If you have any specific conditions or concerns about your health prior to joining us, please make sure you consult your health care provider for guidance and reassurance.

Mum and Baby Yoga
Mum and Baby Yoga (or Postnatal Yoga as it is sometimes known) is a special time when you can really connect with your baby, as well as begin to heal your body after the birth.
Mother and baby yoga promotes healing, teaches baby massage skills and also encourages you both to have fun together.
In addition to this it also builds your baby’s strength and co-ordination through songs and movement.
After the class we adjourn to the cafe for cake and tea and some socialising!
You and your baby are welcome to join us as soon as your baby is 6 weeks old.
Mum and baby yoga is designed for babies who are not yet fully mobile, though we have welcomed babies as old as one year. You will need to assess whether your baby will happily engage with you on the floor for the class ( you may be surprised at how many babies do).
Our Mum and Baby classes run in seasonal block courses rather than every week at this time. They usually run on a Tuesday Morning from 10.00am – 11.30am for 8 weeks at a time.
Check our class schedule or calendar to find out if we have a course running or when our next course starts.
All babies cry – we understand. Every one of us in the class is a mum, so if you baby isn’t settling, don’t panic, just take some time out to soothe them and come back and join the class again when you are ready.
If your baby falls asleep, come and join in on your own. The class is for both of you, so there will be plenty for you do to if they do.
All babies need to be fed, so don’t worry. If you need to sit out to feed your baby, you can still sit and watch and learn from other mums as they practice baby massage, bonding and gentle exercise. You can then practice it at home if you want!
We are sure next week it will be someone else sitting and watching while you enjoy bonding and exercising with your baby.
Absolutely not!
As with all mums recovering from childbirth, all you need to do is consult your health care provider for guidance before starting the course.
Classes are held at Dunkerton Parish Hall
