Emotional Release Yoga (ERY) helps us navigate change, transitions, and personal growth. It’s an inner odyssey of exploring, cultivating, and nourishing meaningful connections with the world we all share through yoga, mindfulness, and deeper awakening.
In a world that often encourages us to put on a brave face and soldier through our challenges, the importance of feeling our emotions cannot be overstated. Numbing or suppressing our feelings might offer temporary relief, but it's like putting a band-aid on a wound that needs deep healing. Emotional Release Yoga (ERY) stands as a sanctuary where we can unravel the layers of emotion, allowing the intricate dance between our emotional, mental, and physical bodies to unfold.
ERY serves as a valuable complement to traditional therapy by offering a hands-on physical approach to healing. In contrast to solely talk-based therapies, ERY delves into the realm of body-stored trauma and emotions, recognising that our experiences are not only stored in the mind but also in the physical body. Through hands-on techniques, such as Myofascial release, reflexology, and healing touch, ERY provides a unique and powerful method to address the somatic aspects of emotional struggles.
This holistic approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of the mind and body, allowing individuals to release tension, explore stored emotions, and foster a deeper connection to themselves.
Our emotions are messengers, signals from the depths of our being trying to communicate with us. They carry vital information about our needs, desires, and the state of our well-being. Ignoring these messages is akin to disconnecting from an essential part of ourselves. Emotional Release Yoga invites us to embrace our emotions, recognizing them not as obstacles but as stepping stones to self-discovery and healing.
Emotional Release Yoga becomes a sacred space for integrating our emotional experiences through intentional movement, breathwork, visualisations, and subtle bodywork. As we stretch and breathe, we allow stagnant energy to flow, releasing tension held in the body. Visualizations become a bridge, helping us navigate the landscapes of our emotions with mindfulness and compassion. The subtle bodywork delves into the energetic imprints left by our emotions, facilitating a holistic release.
In embracing Emotional Release Yoga, we embark on a transformative journey – one that encourages the full spectrum of human emotion to be felt, acknowledged, and ultimately, integrated into the tapestry of our lives. It's an invitation to honour the wisdom within, trusting that through the release of emotions, we not only find freedom but also uncover the profound beauty of our authentic selves.
ERY* is a unique blend of gentle yoga (restorative and yin), myofascial release with therapy balls, essential oils, reiki, mantra, breath work, mindfulness, cognitive work, and healing writing.

Something that I always experienced in my practice and life, recent research suggests that physical and mental health aren’t separate. To live fulfilling lives, we need to address our physical, emotional, and mental bodies holistically.

*Emotional Release Yoga is not therapy and can’t be used to address deep trauma.
I recommend working with a certified therapist or counsellor should the need arise.
