Emma Deery - Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga, Yoga For Mums, Mama Dance, Mothers Wellbeing Mentor & Coach

I attended one of Emma’s beautiful Mothers Circle events. I was skeptical that it might be a bit ‘hippy’ but my god, it was the single best thing I’d done for myself in the three years since having my third child. Emma is nurturing and provides a sanctuary within which you feel safe, supported and held. I’m going back again next month for a top up! X

I did pregnancy yoga, and now postnatal yoga with Emma, if you are pregnant or a new mum I’d highly recommend to get in touch and get booked in!The weekly classes for me were not only an opportunity to move my body but also to connect with other women and mothers. I’ve made friends and found myself a community.Emma is so kind and caring and makes you feel so special, I couldn’t think of anyone better to nurture you through such a unique and wonderful time in your life.Emma is knowledgeable and tailors the yoga practice to what your body needs in that moment. Joining her classes was (and is) the best decision I could have made for myself.I can’t speak highly enough - thank you Emma!

I've been attending Emma's Mama Dance class for nearly a year and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Emma has such a gift and she has created this unique and special class which really suits the need of so many mothers, to be able to bring my baby along has been great for both of us. To be able to move my body and hear all of Emma's wisdom has also been a true blessing for me in the early phase of motherhood. Best of all my baby loves it too! Emma's nurturing spirit provides a real safe space and her ability to empathise and understand what we go through as mothers is really special.

I had the most wonderful experience at Emma's Mothers Circle yesterday. Emma is a beautiful person inside and out and I left feeling like a new person.Her attention to detail is really amazing and she provided a environment that is nurturing and safe.

I am SO grateful I found Emma. After moving to Folkestone when my baby girl was 3 months old, I knew no one and was really craving connection as a new Mother. I found Emma and have now attended 2 terms of Postnatal Yoga. She is so warm and welcoming and it was empowering to meet and connect with other local Mothers. Just to know that we're not alone in this journey was beyond anything I could have imagined. I haven't found anything else that comes close to what Emma offers so I would really recommend to any mamas out there that are craving movement, connection & conversation too. And honestly, even if I didn't partake in the class but sat in the corner watching on, it would be so worth it just to be in this incredible environment. Thank you so much Emma, you're an angel!

I’ve been coming to Emma’s pregnancy yoga classes since I was 15 weeks pregnant, right up until 38 weeks and I’ve just started on her postnatal yoga classes now my baby is 11 weeks old.Emma’s classes are a small pocket of time each week where I’m given permission to pause, connect with myself, my baby and free up my body from the stresses of the week and from being a Mum of (now!) two.I always leave Emma’s classes feeling both reenergised and relaxed - and having shifted some of my pregnancy/new Mum aches and pains through yoga stretches, breath work and movement.Emma is authentic, passionate and so very caring as a teacher. Her empathy to every individual is obvious, and her love of yoga and her practice is infectious!She creates such a magic, sacred, safe space each week where we can all share and connect with other local Mums to be.The sharing aspect of each class gives us a space to voice any aches and concerns with motherhood and I love how Emma gives support / advice and then tailors her class to help alleviate these concerns.I was lucky to have a positive home-birth and the breath work taught by Emma in her pregnancy yoga class, really helped prepare me for my labour! I used many of her techniques and tips for relaxation, down breathing, and yoga positions to help with the power and back pain during contractions.Emma has such amazing attention to detail (like tucking us in cosy blankets for relaxation, encouraging confidence in free dancing and noticing if you’re feeling uncomfortable breastfeeding in class so she will prop you up with pillows to make you feel supported).Little touches like these make all the difference as a new Mum. There is very little support out there as a new Mum, feeling sleep deprived and up against high societal expectations! But in Emma’s classes, I feel I feel cared for and supported - like Emma is nurturing US as we nurture our baby. She hits a very important need. It’s my favourite class of the week - as I come away always feeling supported - physically, mentally and spiritually!

I have attended Emma’s mothers circle and her Mama dance and both were fab. The dance class was a really good workout and it was lovely to have a chat with other mums afterwards. I’d highly recommend if you fancy some exercise but don’t know where to start! And the mothers circle was also beautiful and nourishing. Emma is so lovely and warm and just what you need when you are feeling frantic and like you don’t have any time to yourself ! Hollie x

I’m 25 weeks pregnant, and I’ve been doing Emma’s pregnancy yoga for a few months now, and I’m so thankful I found her page and her classes after doing some Googling during a stressful day. The classes themselves have been such a huge part of my pregnancy journey, it’s so nice to meet other mums and mums-to-be in such a relaxing environment. I’ve always been very anxious and pregnancy can be a really anxious time, but Emma’s presence and knowledge is so reassuring and calming. I’ve also learnt so much from her and other mums, which is why it’s so important to have a little community of women who are either mums or pregnant, you share and learn so much from each other. Safe to say, I couldn’t recommend her classes enough!
