Solis Yoga and Hypnobirthing

Hello and welcome!

I’m Emma and i run Solis Yoga and Hypnobirthing, i am a qualified Yoga teacher as well as a pre and postnatal Yoga teacher. I am also a qualified and fully insured KGH Hypnobirthing teacher.

I offer lessons in and around Surrey I first discovered yoga about 10 years ago when I was looking for an escape from the stresses and strains of my busy daily life which left me feeling hunched and tight, I was suffering from regular migraines and could feel the negativity of the outside world seeping in to my body.

Yoga gave me a new lease of life, I found myself sitting at my desk daydreaming about my practise that evening and looking forward to yoga classes more than anything else. I could feel my body changing I felt so much stronger and energetic and I found that I could cope much better with stress and negativity as well as moving with more awareness. I feel yoga and meditation bought out my best side and taught me how to live my fullest life and opened my heart to new possibilities.

After regularly practising Yoga for a few years, I decided to take my practise one step further and train as a Yoga teacher in 2015 and gained my diploma with the Yoga Alliance. Since then, I have also taken my training one step further and undergone Pre and postnatal training through Yoga London in 2017 so I am now qualified to teach Pregnancy Yoga as well as Mamma and Baby Yoga Classes.

To me yoga means inclusivity, my priority is to make yoga accessible to everyone, this is how community yoga was born! The classes are discounted to make sure anyone who wants to experience yoga gets the chance to do so not just those of privilege. All are welcome to my classes, it’s a community where we support, encourage and feel the power of yoga together.

What to expect

Try to arrive 5-10 minutes early, to ensure you find a comfortable spot.

  • It is best not to eat anything a couple of hours before your class. If you are hungry try to have a light snack.
  • Switch your mobile phone to silent to rid yourself of distractions (remember this yoga class is for you!)
  • Take your shoes and socks off and place your belongings safely away.
  • We will practise a mixture of breathing exercises (pranayama), sequences (asanas) and meditation in each class.
  • It is so so important to listen to your body and not to compare yourself to others. Respect your body’s needs and don’t over exert yourself.
  • Attend with an open mind and most importantly relax!

If you have any health issues or individual needs, please inform me before you come to practise so I can ensure my class is suitable for you.

What to wear/bring

It is best to bring your own mat however I have some spares if you are yet to purchase one.

Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated and wear anything comfortable you can move in! Yoga is normally practised bare footed as you have the best grip and on the mat and a deeper connection to the mat and earth below you.

Private Classes

I also offer private classes so you can enjoy yoga from your place of work or from the comfort of your own home.  Please get in touch if you are interested.

Corporate classes are also available, I have run regular classes at lunch and after office hours, employees find it a much needed stress release after a hard day! Desk Yoga is also a fantastic tool for your work force to keep them focused and energised.

“Emma has been running virtual chair yoga sessions for our organisation for the last 18 months. Emma is patient and friendly instructor, allowing us all to take our time and push ourselves to what we’re capable of. As a group of mixed abilities, Emma is able to offer suggestions on how we might get the most out of the session based on what we can do. They are a much looked forward to break in our working day. We cannot recommend Emma enough.”

Karen @ Viadex Ltd

“Emma is an amazing, patient and knowledgeable teacher. She has been teaching at our office for several years and we have all benefited tremendously from our lessons. Each lesson we focus on a different part of the body which makes for an interesting work out. The health benefits are almost surpassed by the mindfulness you experience during the lesson. “Emma is an amazing, patient and knowledgeable teacher.

We have also been fortunate enough to have Emma teach us desk yoga. It is amazing to learn how you can ease your aches and pains whilst not moving from your desks. If you’ve never tried this I would highly recommend it!”

Elena England

Emma is the most supportive, compassionate, and joyful teacher. Our yoga sessions are fun, relaxing, and challenging for body and soul. When i do Emma’s classes, i feel better physically and emotionally all week – and for someone who has multiple chronic pain conditions, this means the world. Emma is knowledgeable and passionate about yoga and encouraging her pupils to embrace yoga in whatever way they feel is right, i would recommend her classes for beginners and advanced yogis alike.
