I’m Emma the owner & main teacher for Dark Moon Yoga & Dark Moon Yoga Studio. I first started practising yoga back in around 2010 as an aid to weight loss. While the weight loss didn’t stick around the yoga did!
It became the type of movement I kept coming back to, & as I learnt more about the history & depth of the fully yoga practice (not just poses), I fell in love. I want my classes to be as accessible & inclusive as possible, I’ll always try to offer modifications & props to help where ever I can, & if I can’t I’ll go & research for next time.
Body size, age, “flexibility”, sexual orientation, race or gender identity shouldn’t be a barrier to learning yoga, find a class (even if it’s not me) that you feel comfortable & welcome in, if you do chose to come to my classes I hope you feel at home. I do very occasionally offer hands on adjustments or guidance, but these are not necessary if they make a student uncomfortable, let me know before or after a class if these don’t feel appropriate for you.
Having practised more seriously & regularly for the last 4 or 5 years I went on to under take my 200 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, to both deepen my knowledge & bring yoga to more people.
A few random things about me: I have *quite* a lot of tattoos, a number of which are VERY nerdy, I play a variety of music in my classes, generally contemporary soft electronica, lots of Sigur Ros, & the occasional chart hit. I have x2 dogs & x1 cat, including a German Shepherd & a Norwegian Forest cat. I originally hail from the North East of England but settled in Lincolnshire some 10 plus years ago. I will occasionally sport home made leggings to class & my hair is always messy.
