Body and Soul Yoga

Balance in both body and mind. At Body and Soul Yoga, Emma offers a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals to explore the practise of yoga.

The studio itself is located in Jerrabomberra, a serene suburb in NSW, Australia. The space is filled with natural light, creating a serene ambiance that promotes relaxation and tranquilly. The studio is thoughtfully equipped with all the necessary props to ensure comfort and safety during each practise.

Emma, the founder and instructor of Body and Soul Yoga, has been practising yoga since 2002 and is highly qualified, holding certifications in Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Core Yoga, and Restorative Yoga. She is registered with Yoga Australia as a Level 1 teacher and is dedicated to creating personalised experiences for each student, considering their experience, strength, and abilities.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga is the main style of yoga taught at Body and Soul Yoga. It is inspired by Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and involves flowing from one pose to another harmoniously, accompanied by mindful movements and focused breath. Emma incorporates postures from the Ashtanga Primary Series along with sun salutations, standing, balancing, and seated poses. Each class includes a guided relaxation to promote deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

It is important to note that Vinyasa Flow Yoga is not suitable for pregnant students who are new to yoga.

Restorative Yoga is another style offered at Body and Soul Yoga. This practise focuses on allowing the body and mind to rest and rejuvenate, offering a respite from the fast-paced and demanding nature of modern life. Props are used to support the body in comfortable positions, allowing for deep relaxation and restoration. Restorative Yoga has been proven to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes a sense of calm and relaxation.

For those seeking a more focused and strengthening practise, Core Yoga is available. Core Yoga incorporates slower postures, emphasising breath awareness and core strengthening. This style of yoga not only strengthens the body but also works to calm and focus the mind.

Regardless of your fitness level or experience with yoga, Body and Soul Yoga welcomes all individuals. Emma believes that yoga is not limited to flexible individuals and that everyone can benefit from the practise. Yoga is known for its ability to increase strength, flexibility, and body tone, while also promoting mindfulness and stress relief. It is a space where you can dedicate 60 minutes to focus on your own well-being, leaving the outside world behind.

While yoga is not a quick fix, Emma emphasises the importance of consistent practise to experience the full benefits it offers. The studio offers a variety of classes throughout the week to accommodate different schedules and needs.
