Would you like a full day to dedicate to your yoga practice? Moving and breathing together in community?

This is a special opportunity to practice under the guidance of my teacher Emma Isokivi, who joins us for a day to delve into the Ashtanga primary series with some special workshops.

Ashtanga is a traditional system of yoga that brings balance to body and mind through movement and breath. It is a wonderful way to increase your flexibility and fitness whilst helping to destress and find focus.

Emma Isokivi is an Ashtanga Yoga teacher based in Edinburgh, Scotland

  • Mysore Teacher @ Ashtanga Yoga Edinburgh

  • KPJAYI/SYC Level 2 (full intermediate series) authorised in 2017 from Paramaguru Sharath Jois, Mysore.

Emma began practicing yoga regularly in 2006. She took her first trip to India in 2009 and a month's study in a Sivananda Ashram in Madurai, transformed her relationship with a yoga practice beyond just the physical.

In 2011, Emma began a daily Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga practice under the tutelage of Karen Kirkness and Sarah Durney Hatcher. Emma also now credits Sharath Jois to be her teacher and regularly travels to Mysore, Southern India- the birthplace of Ashtanga Yoga to practice at the Sharath Jois Yoga Centre. In 2017, she received his blessing to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

You’ll find Emma’s teaching is adaptive, creative, fun and explores beyond the physicality of āsana too, with breathwork, chanting, and philosophy intertwined.
