Hi I’m Em. I’m a Mum, a yoga teacher and forever student of life and this incredible mind body system that we operate from. 18 years ago yoga saved my life. Not just the poses but everything that comes with saying yes to this practice, saying yes to self-enquiry, self-care and self-awareness.
Welcome to my online platform, Em K Yoga Online, a space I have been busy building and developing for the past few years to bring you all the insights, movement, meditation, education, tools and skills to breathe life back into your human experience here. I care deeply about guiding everyday humans to live pain free, strong, resilient, self-loving and peaceful lives.
How you feel inside matters and I believe that I can support you in feeling better – on and off the yoga mat.
Yoga provides you with exactly you need, whatever you are missing. I like to think of it as reorganising and reconstructing habitual patterns in the body and mind. These naughty habits quietly build up over time and sneak up on us in the form of pain, chronic conditions, injury, life setbacks and mental illness; they basically become obstacles blocking the way to your goals, your good nights sleep, your optimum performance, your happiest life. This could be something simple like the way you sit when you drive your car to work, the way you swing your golf club every Sunday, the way you carry your baby on your weaker hip or the way you breathe every day. Or it could be something a little deeper like a car accident, the effects of a 5 year abusive relationship, a traumatic upbringing or some other experience that has significantly impacted your life. It’s about restoring balance, reconnecting you to yourself and improving the way you experience your time here on this earth. Make sense? Good!
As an online member in this community you can experience all the benefits of a professional yoga class without having to go anywhere! You will receive unlimited access to over 100 (and growing) yoga classes carefully designed to support you in specific areas of your life and body.
Classes are designed to empower you with science-based mind-body wisdom. They range from beginner through to more advanced levels, as short as 10 minutes or a deep as 75 minutes to fit around your lifestyle and schedule. Wake up with an energising yoga flow, take 10 minutes to balance your energy using breath or wind-down with a relaxing evening stretch or meditation. Find EXACTLY what you need at any given time using the clever search filters inside the on demand library. Track your completed classes and save your favourites in your personal dashboard. Every month I add new video and audio classes into our on demand library. Each week I livestream a class to my online community inside our members’ private Facebook group.
Not sure if it’s for you? Not sure if you’re ready? Not sure where to start? My online studio is for everybody. You don’t need to be fit or flexible to start, you are ready to start now, exactly where and how you are -you will learn as you go and have fun doing it! You just have to say yes. Yes to self-enquiry, self-care and self-awareness. Get to know yourself, befriend your body, calm your mind, take control and choose YOU.
“I’m a complete beginner. I wanted something to help me with flexibility in particular plus something calming. Being able to do Em’s classes online from comfort of my home has been great. There’s a great selection available and while I’ve only done a few (I’ve repeated some) I am finding doing these classes a great way to start the day. Em is so easy to follow and her voice is nice and calm. I might not yet but I know I’m developing and improving my own flow each time I do her classes. Thanks Em for providing this online option. I recommend to anyone who’s never tried yoga before. Do it for you. 🙂”
“Absolute Game Changer For Me!
Literally just finished this session and it’s changed my whole vibe for the day. I honestly was not expecting that haha. From feeling stressed and busy… to calm, and still busy, but feeling relaxed and under control now. Thank you 💚”
“I literally feel like I’ve brought you into my special place of practise and I’m getting exclusive one-on-one guidance from you. It’s pretty amazing. 
I love all the classes I have tried so far, and I must say, I have more to try out (you have such a large variety to choose from!). You have a beautiful energy around you – thank you for sharing that with us.”
“Perfect…
This was exactly what my mind & body were NEEDING after a crazy day at work & what is feeling like the longggest week! De-stressed, relaxed & now ready for a great nights sleep! Thanks Em.”
“Short and sharp!
This class was exactly what I needed! 20 mins and what a stretchhh, I feel so energized. Thank you Emily, amazing energy x “
Using our filters to narrow your search for the perfect class to suit your ever changing and evolving needs is the perfect place to start. If you are a total beginner, I highly recommend the 21 day mind-body course which includes all of the foundational classes including important education pillars and tasters of different styles of practice. This is free for all online studio members.
The annual membership is the best value at $199 for unlimited access for 12 months. Otherwise the options are $9.99 per week or $30 per month.
My online studio includes all level classes from Beginner to Advanced
You don’t need anything to start! A Yoga mat, yoga blocks and straps are always handy, bolsters and blankets are an extra bonus. However, there are many household items you can use in replacement of these such as cushions, pillows, belts or ties or even a pile of books to help you balance – you are invited to get creative and resourceful if you don’t want to invest in equipment. The required equipment is listed underneath the description of each class.
Classes inside the Online Platform vary from 10 minutes to 75 minutes so you can decide how much time you want to practice for!
Basics: Simple, no-frills, beginners classes
Support: Functional, anatomically technical classes designed to physically support specific areas of the body.
Slow Flow: Hatha Flow classes that move dynamically with your breath, but not in a fast paced way.
Vinyasa: A quicker paced flow that matches one breath per transition, a more advanced practice that works your cardiovascular system – best practiced once you feel comfortable with synchronising your breath and movement together.
Tutorial: Breaking down small and important details for you to really learn, understand and embody techniques, muscle actions, alignment and more.
Sometimes it’s difficult to know what we actually need, we have a tendency to second guess our own judgement and not always be able to recognise what our nervous system is calling for. If you are feeling like this, the ‘mood’ filter is great as you can look for the energetic feel you are needing from a class. For example you may feel you need to be uplifted, or maybe you are craving some calm or you are ready for something strong and sweaty.
If you don’t know, then just go with the amount of time you have or want to practice for, read the description and go with whatever catches your attention, there’s not really a right or wrong, any practice is better than no practice!
There is also the option for Em to create a personalised program for you – Em will create a bespoke weekly plan for you which you can reassess and update as often as you would like.
I suggest setting up a nice space for yourself that feels nurturing and comfortable so all you need to do is roll out your mat, log in and press play. Incense, sunshine, candles and of course our matching playlists all help with setting the scene and the vibe for your practice.
If you can’t do this – the results are still the same! Even if it means practicing on the grass outside, on the deck with a towel or on the bedroom floor – it doesn’t need to look and smell and sound pretty to be of benefit.
Share! Chat with other members inside our Facebook group, talk about your favourite classes, what you find hard, what you love, your good weeks, your bad weeks – all that comes along with this self-care journey and experience.
Remember, you are giving yourself a gift which also allows you to give more to others as well. Reach out to Em for inspiration and guidance 🙂
Absolutely not – this is one of the biggest myths of yoga! Flexibility is not a requirement and although it is a natural biproduct of practicing regularly, it’s not the main focus! Yoga poses are all adaptable to work for you.
One brand new class video class per month and one brand new audio meditation per month.
Yoga Philosophy is rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism BUT you do not have to follow these religions to practice yoga or to benefit from it. If you have different or no religious beliefs – no worries!
I always say, something is better than nothing. Depending on your lifestyle and personal circumstances and commitments, each week may vary. If you are more of a structured and routine person – you can schedule your class time into your week knowing how much time you will have to ensure you fit your practices in.
Ideally you will do something every day, or 5 days per week. Maybe for you its 3 times per week that you can realistically commit to, OR maybe it’s just one class per week and that is what works for you – THAT IS ENOUGH! You are enough 🙂
Honestly? Yoga is for everybody. If you have a body – you can do yoga. Every single human being can benefit from what yoga has to offer, most of the time you find yoga when you are seeking certain changes or remedies in your body, mind and life – more of than not, you will take away far more than you ever bargained for.

“at any moment, I can choose to start again” I’ve been getting uncomfortably honest with myself this last month…I believe this is the key to implementing long lasting change – we first have to confront what’s really happening inside of ourselves, connect with ALLL of our parts (not just the ones we like – but…
What is meant by grounding and how can we do it? In the whirlwind of our modern lives, it’s all too easy to lose ourselves in the chaos and distractions that surround us. However, there exists a practice that can anchor us amidst the storm, helping us rediscover our inner peace and authenticity. It’s called…
Learning to love me “You just need to love yourself” how many times have you heard or seen this…I mean, with all good intentions, it’s not as simple as that. What does it actually mean to “love yourself” what does it look like, sound like and feel like? I can tell you as someone who…
Why is rest so important? Ongoing low-grade stress is not sustainable. Why is rest so important? well, mainly because we don’t get enough of it. I don’t mean sitting down while you scroll on your phone, or laying on the couch watching Netflix. Sure, your body is technically still and it’s a nice break from…
How and why I became a Yoga Teacher I began dabbling in this yoga thing approximately 16 years ago, I didn’t know it then, but this was my doorway back to health, a glimmer of hope. As a child and teenager I battled with tremendous mental health difficulties which resulted in many failed attempts to…
Understanding Your Nervous System. I’ve been studying my own weird brain for years. My life has been quite the colourful mess, but I’ve had the pleasure of learning by experience from the inside out. What is going on in my body and mind – and WHY? HOW? For the last 18 years I’ve been experimenting…
