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.
KIDS YOGA
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.

EMMA PALMER
FOUNDING PRINCIPAL & DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION
The thread of Emma’s spiritual life began during her early years in London, where the seeds of faith were first sewn and 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 non-dual Kashmir Shaivism through the Siddha Yoga lineage at the Melbourne Ashram. It was here that she encountered the sublime vibrations of chanting and Satsaṅg, which awakened a lifelong exploration of the practices and philosophy of Yoga, including Āsana, Meditation, Mantra, Kriyā, and Prāṇāyāma.
The transformative essence of these teachings inspired Emma to undertake a 1400-hour Yoga Teacher Training between 2001 and 2003. In June 2004, she stepped fully into her dharma, dedicating her life to teaching Yoga and Meditation as her full-time path. Between 2023 and 2025, Emma deepened her commitment to the path of breath and spirit by completing an additional 400 hours of Advanced Prāṇāyāma and Kriyā training with Master Prāṇācārya Dr Paul Dallaghan. This immersion into the subtle sciences of breath, purification, and inner stillness expanded not only the depth of her personal practice but also the breadth of wisdom she reverentially shares with others.
Moksha Yoga was organically and divinely founded in 2005 and has been lovingly guided by Emma’s leadership ever since. In 2010, she envisioned and birthed The Moksha Academy, a Yoga Teacher Training program rooted in thorough, practical, and hands-on learning. Today, the Academy continues to uphold the highest standards of training and has cultivated some of the most respected Yoga Teachers in Australia.
Emma is an E-RYT-500 with Yoga Alliance (US), a Level 3 Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Australia, and a Senior Member of the Meditation Association of Australia. She is also trained as a Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPTY), a Yin Yoga facilitator, and has contributed a body of writings on Yoga to publications in both Australia and the UK. She curates and delivers an ever-evolving suite of trainings, retreats, courses, dharma circles, and immersion experiences, all offered in reverence to awakening deeper awareness and realisation of true consciousness within the collective.
Emma’s love for the rich streams of philosophy continues to inspire her daily practice and teaching. First and foremost, she walks this path as a perennial student, honouring the many teachers and lineages that illuminate her way. She feels most at home when sharing these timeless teachings with others, weaving together ancient wisdom and modern life with authenticity, clarity, and devotion. A follower of the Siddha, Advaita, Kashmir Shaivism, and Śrī Vidyā lineages, she believes that what sustains the ability to hold space is an unwavering dedication to personal Sādhana. It is this devotion that forms the very foundation of Emma’s teachings of Truth, which she continues to share freely, reverentially, and lovingly.
At the heart of Emma’s work is a deep reverence for the unfolding of consciousness, both within herself and within those she guides. Her teachings arise from lived experience, disciplined practice, and a love for the profound philosophies of Yoga. With warmth, clarity, and devotion, she creates spaces where students feel supported to explore, awaken, and integrate these teachings into their own lives. For Emma, the greatest joy is witnessing the spark of understanding and transformation in others, a reflection of the timeless wisdom that flows through her own devoted practice that continues to illuminate her path.
