Practise at home,
with Emma

The same teaching, in your own front room. A growing library of practices you can take at your own pace — and you name the price. Free classes on YouTube too, if you'd like to try before anything else.

What this is

For the weeks you can't get to a room

Not everyone lives on the Isle of Wight, and even the people who do have weeks where getting out of the house is the hard part. This is for those weeks — the same teaching, the same voice, on your own floor at whatever hour suits.

It isn't an algorithm feeding you strangers. Emma made this for her own students, for people who've been on retreat with her, and for anyone sent along by a friend who'd rather practise with someone who knows what they're doing than scroll through the endless online alternative.

The practices are catalogued by approach, duration and level, so you can pick what actually fits the day rather than taking whatever comes next.

There are two ways in. Free classes on YouTube, which is the honest place to start — see whether you like how she teaches before spending anything. And the library on Patreon, which is where the depth is: a growing archive you can work through at your own pace for a small monthly amount.

Pay what feels right

There is no price on the library. You pay what you want — and if that is a pound, you are every bit as welcome as anybody else.

This isn't a marketing device. In the tradition Emma teaches from, the teachings were given freely and supported by dāna: an offering made by those who could, so that the teaching stayed within reach of those who couldn't. The teacher taught. The people who valued it made that possible. Nobody was turned away for not having enough.

So give what the practice is worth to you this month. Change it when your circumstances change. Stop when you need to and come back when you can. Emma would rather you practised.

What's in there

Find the practice that fits the day

Every practice is tagged, so you can go at it from whichever direction suits — the time you've got, the level you're working at, or the kind of thing you're in the mood for.

By how long you've got

From ten minutes before work to a full ninety when the day allows it. The forty-five and sixty minute practices are the deepest sections of the library.

10 minutes 13 20 minutes 54 30 minutes 46 45 minutes 93 60 minutes 91 75 minutes 57 90 minutes 90

By level

Most of the library is open to anybody — over a hundred and twenty practices are tagged Yoga for All. There's a substantial intermediate section for when you want more, and a small set written specifically for people starting out.

Yoga for All 126 Intermediate 70 Yoga for Beginners 5

By what you fancy

Asana is only part of it. There's meditation, breathwork and yoga nidra in here too, plus a run of short clinics taking a single thing apart — the sort of question you'd ask after class if there were time.

Ashtanga Yoga 54 Meditation 17 Pranayama 8 Yoga Nidra 7 'How to' clinics 7 Slow Flow 3 Workshops 2 Yoga for Athletes 2 Yoga for Runners 1

Series and seasons

Some of it is built to be worked through in order. Mindful Mornings is a long run of forty-five minute starts to the day; the Solstice sets are twenty-one days of practice taken together; and the equinox and seasonal series follow the turning of the year, the way Emma's writing does.

Mindful Mornings 55 Autumn Equinox 41 Rise & Shine 38 Solstice — 21 days 22 Winter Solstice 22 Yoga to end your day 5 Spring 5

Numbers are the practices tagged in each category as at September 2026, and a practice usually carries more than one tag — a forty-five minute Ashtanga session tagged Yoga for All appears under all three. The library keeps growing.

Before you start

What you need, and what to expect

What you need

Less than you think

A mat, enough floor to lie down with your arms out, and somewhere to prop a screen where you can see it from the floor. Blocks and a strap are useful but a couple of books and a dressing gown cord have got plenty of people through.

Experience

Some helps, none is fatal

Emma teaches as she always does, which means she'll tell you what to do with your body rather than just naming a pose. If you've practised a bit you'll get more from it, but nobody is going to be left behind at home either.

Time

Whatever you actually have

The best home practice is the one that happens. Ten honest minutes beats an intended ninety that never arrives. The library has both, and there's no merit in the longer one if it's the reason you don't unroll the mat.

Injuries

Nobody can see you

That's the one real drawback of practising at home — Emma can't spot what she'd spot in a room. If you're carrying something, email her before you start rather than working around it on your own.

Everything you need to know

Frequently asked questions

Getting started

Where should I start?
YouTube. Do a couple of the free classes and see whether Emma's way of teaching suits you. If it does, the Patreon library is where the rest of it lives.
Do I need to be experienced?
Some experience helps, because nobody is there to adjust you. But Emma teaches by describing what to do rather than just naming poses, which travels well to a screen.
What equipment do I need?
A mat and room to lie down with your arms out. Blocks and a strap are handy; books and a dressing gown cord will do at a pinch.
Can I watch on a television?
Yes. Both YouTube and Patreon will cast to a TV, which is a good deal easier on the neck than squinting at a laptop from the floor.

Subscribing

What is Patreon?
Patreon is a website where people support the teachers, writers and artists whose work they value, with a small monthly amount they choose themselves. It’s separate from this site, so the “Join on Patreon” buttons take you over there.

You create a free Patreon account, decide what you’d like to give each month, and Emma’s whole library opens up to you — to practise with on your phone, laptop or television, as often as you like. Patreon takes care of the payment securely, and you can change the amount or stop at any time from your own account.

Think of it as dāna in modern form: those who value the teaching keep it going, and it stays within reach of everyone.
What does it cost?
Whatever you decide it should. There is no set price and no minimum — you name the amount when you join, and you can change it or stop whenever you need to.
Why is there no price?
Because of dāna — the old arrangement in which teachings were given freely and supported by an offering from those who could afford one. It keeps the practice within reach of people who are skint, and it means nobody is priced out of something Emma thinks should be available.
Is it rude to pay very little?
No. Genuinely. Pay a pound and practise every day — Emma would far rather that than have you not there at all.
Can I cancel?
Any month, from inside Patreon, without having to explain yourself to anybody.
Why Patreon and not a course to buy?
Because it isn't a course. It's a library that keeps growing, and a subscription is what makes it worth Emma's while to keep adding to it.
Does this replace classes or retreats?
No — it sits alongside them. Practising at home keeps you going between the things that happen in a room, and a lot of people do both.
