EMILY THOMSON - YOGA

Em is an experienced yoga teacher, with multiple advanced trainings and a passion for positivity. She has been teaching at the Pavilion studio since it opened in 2018 and has been coming to the Lido ever since she was a child! The lido is close to her heart and she adores teaching yoga over its waters.

In terms of style, Em is primarily trained in vinyasa and ashtanga, with a precise physical and functional approach to yoga. She pays close attention to detailed alignment and muscular engagement, whilst still maintaining creativity within her sequences. Em has also completed specific training in yoga for beginners, seniors, injury management, anatomy and biomechanics. She is also currently studying a degree in Physiotherapy.

Em’s classes are accessible for all. Modifications are always offered throughout for those seeking to take it easy, as well as more advanced options for those that wish to go further.

Weekly schedule:

Mondays 6.45pm-7.45pm Slow Flow Yoga As the name suggests this is the slower paced of my classes - best for beginners as the pace allows more time to learn poses and movement technique. Advanced yogis who like to take things slow are also welcome! 

Thursdays 6.45pm-7.45pm Dynamic Yoga A dynamic vinyasa flow, which is a little more demanding than the sunday vinyasa class. Good for those that like a little more challenge and intensity. Em usually teaches a theme from week to week which can vary from body area, peak yoga pose or philosophical principle. 

Saturdays 8.30am-9.30am Ashtanga Yoga This class is based on the traditional Ashtanga sequence. The class is challenging, but the majority of the poses are the same each week, therefore a good choice for those who like repetition and familiarity. 

Sundays 11.30am-12.30pm Vinyasa Yoga An intermediate level vinyasa flow. Em usually teaches a theme from week to week which can vary from body area, peak yoga pose or philosophical principle.

During classes the children, age walking to and their accompanying adults are transported into a world of adventure with our qualified pre school coaches who provide a safe, fun and stimulating environment in which to explore the activities together. 

Every week we look at a different theme, starting with discussing the clue found in the golden box. What will it be this week....? A fun, musical, interactive warm up follows which incorporates varying hand apparatus and action songs. Once thoroughly warmed up the exploration of the large apparatus follows, where the children have an opportunity to roll, balance, jump and move in order to enhance their development, as well as having an essential bonding time with their adult. We also use this as an opportunity to introduce life skills such as taking turns, sharing, etc. The session finishes with a cool down which includes bubbles ,action songs, music and more fun!
The class is suitable for parents ,nannies and grandparents to bring their little ones.  We try to accommodate accompanying babies where possible and would suggest a taster class to see if the session will work for you. We have varying sessions at different times across our sites to help find a class that suits you. We look forward to meeting you and joining our growing number of parent toddler families.
