Meet EMMA MCNIFF: Yoga Teacher at This Is Yoga

Your favourite yoga pose if you have one?

Honestly, it has to be the moments after the posture. That sacred pause where we feel the magic!

What do you enjoy most about teaching?

I love creating experiences!

HOW CAN WE FIND YOU ON SOCIAL?

About EMMA:

Emma is known for inviting students back to the medicine of a slow, but strong practice. A dedicated student of yoga for over 10 years, Emma has tried and tested many styles, classes and teachers and studios. Time and time again Emma would show up for her practice as she knew that there was wisdom and magic to be found yet felt that she wasn't quite getting it. Whilst experiencing such an awe for the practice, Emma felt that something was always missing for her and found the highly activating, fast-paced vinyasa classes challenging to drop into the body. Emma wanted to breathe that little bit slower, she wanted to enjoy moments of integration and to express in other ways than what we’re being instructed. With a craving to meet the intensity with softness, Emma completed her Body Poetry Teacher Training in 2022 and is now here to guide those who too feel that call.

Emma is a clinical social worker, has valuable experience working with somatic therapies and understands what medicine the body craves. Emma uniquely draws in the world of energetics and spiritually to make it practical and easy to digest for the modern world.

What to expect in your class with Emma:

Offerings for physical touch.
Invitations to move slower.
Moments to pause and feel.
Space to notice what has become alive.
Encouragement to close down your eyes.
Permission to explore beyond the posture.
To touch intensity with softness.
Love, excitement & enthusiasm.
