Anoushka Emson

What to expect on a retreat with Anoushka:

Anoushka teaches a ‘blend’ of styles, a combination of all the different teachings she has experienced. The result is that the way she teaches the class is informed predominantly by you, the participants. She responds to who shows up, intuitively sensing what is needed on that day, at that time, collectively. You won’t get a set series but rather a flow, a combining of asanas to bring out a meaningful release. She places an emphasis on posture alignment and if you agree to it, she offers adjustments.

She likes to workshop some of the sticky areas of form, breaking it down to the specifics and believes in moving within postures to go deeper, but also static holding when required. There’s dialoguing, with her and your body.
Ultimately her style is relaxed. Flow in the morning, more meditative in the evening, with a balance between stretching and toning and that informs the asana selection. Breathwork is incorporated and so are guided meditations.

Additional retreat offerings:

Anoushka is also a trained Reiki Healer and can offer one to one reiki/theta healing . There are times when our energy is so depleted, that we need someone to help us raise our vibration. Reiki is hugely transformative so it’s great if you are stuck or you need some healing. Its good for burnout, or physical healing.

Qualifications:

British Wheel Hatha Teacher Training
Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training
Yoga Therapy
Yin Yoga Teacher Training
Reiki Master
