Where To Start 

Whether you’re completely new to yoga or returning after a break, here’s how to find your way:

 

1. Choose a Class That Suits You

    •    Dynamic & energizing: Vinyasa Flow, Yoga HIIT

    •    Balanced & adaptable: Flow Gently, Legs, Bums & Tums, Supple Strength

    •    Mindful & inward-focused: Somatic Enquiry, Mindfulness

 

2. Know That All Bodies Are Welcome

    •    Every class is open to all experience levels, abilities, and backgrounds.

    •    If a class feels too easy, too strong, or just not right, let me know—I’ll suggest a better fit for your needs that day.

 

3. Support for Every Body

    •    Exercise-disability trained, older-adult and dementia-friendly, neurodiverse-friendly, and autism-aware.

    •    Whether you have visible or hidden disabilities, I’ll help adapt your practice to feel safe, supportive, and empowering.

 

4. Injuries, Illness, or Specific Needs

    •    Advanced anatomy training allows guidance for injuries, illness, or other specific needs.

    •    Discuss adaptations before class, or email me at emma@vortexyoga.co.uk.

    •    One-to-one or small group sessions are available if you prefer a private or bespoke practice.

 

5. Pregnancy Guidance

    •    Yoga is not recommended during the first trimester.

    •    After the first trimester, I can help adapt classes safely.

    •    While I do not offer pregnancy-specific classes, I can refer you to trusted pregnancy yoga classes to support your journey.

 

6. Getting Started

    •    Arrive with an open mind and your curiosity.

    •    Don’t worry about experience—everyone is welcome.

    •    I’ll help you find a practice that feels just right for you.

 

I can’t wait to welcome you to the mat and help you begin your yoga journey.

 

With love,
