Em Thomson Tooting Bec Lido Yoga

Em is an incredible yoga teacher. I started going to her classes back in 2019 and since lockdown have trained with her every week since then. It will be 4 years this March. Her teaching focuses on strength and stability as well as flexibility which is so important whatever age you are. She always explains things in a very clear and accessible way. Training to be a physiotherapist she has an in-depth knowledge of how the body works and is always sensitive to whatever issues you might have...

I’ve been going to Emily’s classes for five years now - starting as a complete novice it was a bit scary at first but she makes everybody welcome and teaches all abilities in the same class in a great environment. It’s a special moment in my week when I forget all the other rubbish and melt into discovering how far I am able to flex and stretch!! Would recommend it to anybody, especially if you’re new to yoga, a bit older like me or not so sure….

Em is a great teacher. Always friendly, welcoming, helpful and with a big smile on her face. She has lots of knowledge in both yoga and how human body works so the classes are very well thought out. Every week there’s a new focus, so you never get bored. Doesn’t matter of your level she also tailors the poses to everyones abilities and helps you getting the most out of your poses. Also the music is great. Seems like a small thing to mention but it really makes a big difference for me ☺️

I started going to Em's classes without much expectation. I had zero yoga experience and I wasn't in the best physical shape. Em helps at all times to improve posture without feeling pressured or judged. It's a very calm and safe environment where even a shy person can feel very comfortable. These classes have really helped me with the stress caused by this city and the harsh winter. It's an instant relief. Highly recommended.

Did not enjoy at all. Comes across as cold and also at times quite bored/fake? I did not feel comfortable or confident that I was in a safe environment and during the class I noticed others unable to relax also or being overlooked when they were clearly struggling which was concerning and distracting. Not a personable, calm environment. Obviously seems lots of her friends giving good reviews to big her up but there are lots of better yoga teachers around this area.. Would not recommend.
