POWER FLOW
A great style to develop your consistent practice around, the varied and flowing vinyasa sequences allow you to explore the deep benefits of yoga at every level of your being. Practiced in a warm room of 28°C, expect a rewarding class that challenges and energises just as much as it soothes, rebalances and clears.
BEGINNERS FLOW
Designed to support students with little or basic yoga experience in establishing a solid foundation to their practice, it’s also an ideal class for anyone seeking to practice at a steadier pace with greater guidance through the key fundamentals while still incorporating the element of challenge to promote your development.
ALL-LEVELS FLOW
Immerse deeply into a beautiful vinyasa flow with a range of variations offered to tailor the experience for students of all levels and abilities. Conducted in a gently warmed room, these intelligently crafted sequences combine a balance of postures that cultivate strength, focus and alignment, with those that calm, restore and nourish.
GENTLE FLOW
Enjoy a calming, restorative and peaceful flow of postures practiced at a more relaxed pace in a less heated environment. Our Gentle Flow classes offer suitable modifications and props to support students with varying individual needs in enjoying the nourishing benefits of a balanced yoga practice for body, mind and spirit.
YIN YOGA
An ideal complement to the “Yang” energies of your Vinyasa Power Flow practice, Yin Yoga guides you toward inner stillness with a calming, meditative approach of holding postures for longer periods while focusing on the opening of connective tissues within the hips, pelvis and lower spine.
MEDITATION
Allow yourself to be guided through a blissful hour-long journey of meditation that will calm the mind, soothe your soul and connect you with the peaceful sanctuary at the very centre of your being. Liberate yourself from the demands of the outside world and surrender to the purity of inner stillness.
CHILDREN’S YOGA & MINDFULNESS
It’s never too early to start enjoying the benefits of yoga with these fun, relaxed and imaginatively themed classes that combine an inspiring blend of interactive games, coordination exercises, yoga postures, mindfulness practice and breathing techniques.

The thread of Emma’s spiritual life began during her early years in England, where the seeds of faith were first sewn that ultimately guided her to explore the practice of meditation in her mid-teens. When Emma arrived on the Australian shores in 1998, she first discovered the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism through the Siddha Yoga lineage at the Melbourne Ashram. This is also where she initially experienced the sublime vibrations of chanting and Satsaṅg that led her to explore the techniques and practices of Yoga, including Āsana, Meditation, Kriyā and Prāṇāyāma. The powerfully transformative essence of these teachings and practices inspired Emma to undertake a 1400-hour Yoga Teacher Training between 2001 and 2003, since which she has taught more than 10,000 hours.
Moksha Yoga was organically and divinely created in 2005 and has been lovingly guided by Emma’s leadership since then. She has been present in the field of Yoga Teacher Training facilitation since 2005 and in 2010 Emma had a vision to create a Yoga Teacher Training program through the Moksha Academy, providing trainees with a thorough, practical and hands-on experience of learning. The Moksha Academy continues to deliver the highest standards of training and has produced some of the most sought-after Yoga Teachers in Australia.
Emma is an E-RYT-500 with Yoga Alliance (US), Level 3 Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Australia, and Senior Member of Meditation Association of Australia. She is also trained in Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPTY), as a Yin Yoga facilitator and has also contributed a catalogue of Yoga related articles to publications in both Australia and the UK. Emma curates and delivers an ever-evolving suite of trainings, retreats, classes, courses, dharma circles and immersion experiences in reverence to awakening a deeper awareness and realisation of true consciousness throughout the collective. Highly regarded by her peers and devoted community of students, she is widely recognised for her inimitable means of infusing the deepest ancient wisdoms with such authentic relatability for our times, in service to sharing the teachings in the most profoundly impactful ways.
Follower of the Siddha, Advaita, Kashir Shaivism and Sri Vidya lineages, Emma continues to be a passionate and devoted student of the practice and honours the many teachers and teachings that continue to inspire her. She believes that what fuels the ability to hold space as a facilitator is dedication to the unfolding of a personal Sādhana. It is her devotion to the practice that informs the very foundations of Emma’s teachings of Truth which she freely, reverentially and lovingly continues to share with others.
