Emilyogagilchrist I love creating a space for people to come, share, feel safe, unwind, to let go and just simply be.

Whilst travelling through South East Asia, I attended a spectrum of Yoga classes and developed a keen interest in this ancient art. After recognising the benefits of my practice I was inspired to take the practice deeper and more diligently. This took me to India over ten years ago, where I trained intensively as an instructor at the Sivananda Ashram, Kerala. It was here that I studied and discovered the disciplines of Yoga and became fully connected to the practice.Since then I have completed further courses in Yogic instruction through the school of Sivananda (Orleans, France), under the guidance of Swami Durgananda, Swami Kaislananda and Swami Krishnananda. I have also completed a basic intensive training course with Karoline Klebe in Ashtanga, Dubai, a TTC with Guru Sivam Gi, at his Siddhartha School of Integral Yoga, Dharamshalla, Northern India, a course of Kundalini and Mantra based Yoga with Swami Vidyanada (founder of the Sri Ma International School of Yoga) and have recently spent extensive time under the guidance with one of the most sought of Iynegar teachers, Usha Devi at her studio in Ram Jhual, Rishikesh. With all my experience and inspiration I have become versatile in my approach to teaching. I adapt my classes by tuning into my students on an individual level giving them what they need either through Yoga therapy, flow or static deep sequences.

šŸ’«ā¤ļøšŸ’«ā¤ļøCelebrating the birth of this wonderful human on his 7th birthday, the one and only Isaac, whom I get to call my son.

Seven years old — what a milestone! I can’t believe we’ve shared seven whole years of this journey since you came earthside, Isaac.

You are the most precious, funny, creative, strong-willed, loving, and fascinating human I have ever had the pleasure of knowing so deeply. You’re the most incredible gift I’ve ever received — the gift that keeps on giving. I’m in constant awe as I watch you grow into the incredible person you’re becoming.

Seven is such a special age: you’re growing more independent, discovering what you love and seeing the world in your own wonderful way. I love your fascination with the earth and nature. Sometimes your knowledge of wildlife, sea life, the cosmos, and prehistoric dinosaurs puts me to shame!

I’m so grateful I get to learn from all your passions and interests, and for the many layers they add to your curiosity about life. May you always keep wondering, smiling, laughing and enjoying everything around you.ā¤ļøšŸ™ā¤ļøšŸ™ā¤ļø

Morning, beautiful people!Ā ā˜€ļø

I’m here with the incredible after a lovely catch-up a few days ago, when we became very fired up about our upcoming FREE online event!

šŸ’«This is not only an opportunity to meet the teachers ofĀ The Living WellĀ 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training—you’ll also receive a free taster of what we’ll be offering throughout the course.

šŸ’«I’ll begin by guiding you through some grounding practices to help you arrive and settle into the space.

šŸ’«Guy Donahaye will then introduce you to the philosophy element of the training, and offer a mini taster of traditional pranayama and meditation. Guy has been teaching yoga for more than 40 years and studied directly with Pattabhi Jois. He has written several books, includingĀ Guruji, and brings a phenomenal depth of knowledge from his study of yogic philosophy and the Vedic scriptures.

šŸ’«Aimee will round off our time together by guiding us through a taste of the beautiful and powerful practices of mantra and chanting.

We’ll also introduce David’s anatomy modules, share a little about our individual journeys and yogic paths, and explain how we’ll weave our different teachings together throughout the training—with plenty of time for your questions at the end.

Join us online on 6th October, from 7:30–8:30 p.m.

We'd love to see you there! šŸ’–

✨ A little Root & Rest update… ✨

The location for our Root & Rest Retreat, happening 9th–11th October, is , and I'm so happy to share that we’ll now be gathering in this absolutely stunning space near Woodbridge, Suffolk. 🌿

It’s the perfect setting for what this weekend is all about — slowing down, nourishing ourselves and gently transitioning into the change of season.

We’ll have a gorgeous wood-burning stove, an outdoor sauna, beautiful countryside on the doorstep, and plenty of space to soften and settle.

Over the weekend, you can expect:

🌱 Nourishing plant-based food
šŸ‘Øā€šŸ³ Vegan cooking workshops with the incredibly talented Bogdan Theo
šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø Daily yoga and restorative practices with me
🤲 Optional Massage, Reiki & Reiki drumming
šŸ”„ Cosy fireside time
šŸ§–ā€ā™€ļø Optional outdoor sauna
šŸ‚ Space to rest, reconnect and ease gently into autumn

It’s going to be such a lovely way to cool down after the fullness of summer, rest deeply and integrate as we move into the quieter months of the year.

We have space for just a few more, so if you feel called to join us, have a look here or send me a PM. šŸ’›

Medicine… wow. Thank you so much—you’ve done it again.

I’ve been coming every year since Medicine began, and it’s so beautiful to witness how far you’ve come with your vision and your dream, while continuing to honour the integrity of everything the Medicine Festival stands for.

It was an honour to be there and help create a space for Teenage Visioning and family yoga. Thank you, , for supporting me in this and for creating a magical area for the children to play, learn and be inspired. Being there with my family was a true blessing.šŸ™ā¤ļøšŸ™

Although I’ve attended every year with my son, this somehow felt like our first festival together, as his world has opened up so much. It was incredibly special to see how much he grew through the experience—from setting up his own little pitch and finding his independence, to discovering his moves on the dance floor and whirling around with such freedom, held within a space where he felt completely safe.

I’m so grateful for all the blessings my family received, and for the special friends we had the joy of camping, dancing, reuniting, and sharing this experience with, and also arriving at the magic time of the eclipse.

It was truly a dream to be immersed in such a rich tapestry of cultures, wisdom keepers, traditions and an incredible fusion of music. My soul feels so happy, full and deeply inspired.

I’m truly grateful for everything that everyone collectively brought together.

Well done team. Thank you for your vision, your love, and for trusting in the dream.

Incredible music and credit goes to
who was definitely one of my highlights

Ready to go deeper?
Yoga is so much more than postures. It’s a living, breathing practice that invites us to reconnect, find steadiness, and meet life with greater awareness.
This is the intention behind The Living Well — my 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, starting March 2027.
This journey isn’t just for people seeking a change in work or aspiring to teach. It’s genuinely for anyone longing to explore beyond the surface — diving into philosophy, pranayama, meditation, mantra, anatomy, self-inquiry, and the roots of yoga.
Over a few months, we’ll gather for:
• Two immersive retreats at Riad Dharma, Essaouira, Morocco
• Live online philosophy with Guy Donahaye, anatomy with David Keil, Bhakti & mantra with Aimee Warren
• Asana, sequencing, teaching skills, mentorship, and plenty of space for practice and self-discovery
Training runs March–June 2027:
• First immersion: 5–11 March
• Final immersion: 28 May–4 June
With the Lion’s Gate Portal open, now is the time to listen to what’s calling you forward.
If you’ve been quietly considering this, I’m offering a special Lion’s Gate Founder’s Offer for a limited time.
You don’t need to have it all figured out—or even know if you want to teach. Sometimes it’s enough to know you’re ready to go deeper.
• Full details via link in bio
• Secure your place with a 10% deposit
• Or message me LIONS GATE for the Founder’s Offer or to arrange a discovery call.

Feeling so deeply nourished and inspired after a beautiful day of training with the incredible Louise Ann Gandolfi Green

Thank you, .heart.healin for such a generous and inspiring experience. I feel I’ve taken away so much, and it was such a gift to begin learning how to offer Reiki with the drum with greater confidence and intention.

I completed my first two Reiki courses back in 2006 and have since explored other intuitive healing practices, but this training felt like such a beautiful way of weaving everything together. It was so special to work with the drum that I birthed together with Louise almost two years ago — a real full-circle moment.šŸ’—

I’m so looking forward to integrating this into my monthly Rest in Bliss sessions, and I can’t wait to return next month for more vocal practice.

Louise is an incredible shamanic Reiki Master, and I would highly recommend her to anyone feeling called to learn Reiki or deepen their healing practice.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and gifts so generously. Such a nourishing and special day. šŸ¤

Morning beautiful community ✨

A little heartfelt reminder about my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, which is slowly and beautifully taking shape.

This training has been such a labour of love to create, and I’m so excited to share it with those of you who feel called to take a deeper dive into yoga — whether that’s to teach, to deepen your own practice, or to explore yoga as a more embodied and meaningful path.

There will be time for practice, philosophy, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, self-enquiry, connection, and the magic of coming together in person in Morocco.

It’s shaping up to be something really special, with a wonderful team of teachers involved including AIMEƈ., Guy Donahaye, David Keil and I would love to welcome you if it feels aligned.

If you’re feeling inspired or curious, do have a little look through the link in my bio, or feel free to reach out with any questions.

With love ✨
