Beyond Fitness: the Dynamic Side of Yoga Classes

In the world of fitness, yoga often stands out as a beacon of holistic well-being, transcending the boundaries of traditional exercise classes. At my Portsmouth yoga studio, I believe in breaking the stereotypes surrounding yoga and showcasing its dynamic nature.


Far from a mere fitness class, yoga encompasses a spectrum of styles that not only promote physical strength but also foster mental clarity and spiritual balance.



The Dynamic Power of Yoga: Many perceive yoga as a slow and gentle practice, but power yoga challenges that notion. Our power yoga classes blend the fluidity of traditional yoga with dynamic movements and strength-building postures. This invigorating style not only increases flexibility but also enhances cardiovascular endurance, making it a comprehensive workout for both body and mind. Power Yoga takes place in a host of different Portsmouth and Southsea Venues - take a look at my schedule to find a class to suit your lifestyle.


Igniting the Flame: Hot Yoga's Intense Heat: Hot yoga takes the practice to a new level by turning up the heat – quite literally. Practiced in a heated room, this style amplifies the benefits of yoga, promoting detoxification, flexibility, and heightened calorie burn. The intensity of hot yoga not only provides a physical challenge but also cultivates mental resilience as you navigate through the heat.


Ashtanga Yoga for Beginners: A Gateway to Dynamic Strength: For those just beginning their yoga journey, my studio offers beginner Ashtanga yoga classes. While Ashtanga follows a structured series of poses, our beginner classes cater to all fitness levels. Ashtanga yoga builds strength, improves flexibility, and establishes a foundation for more advanced practices, making it an ideal starting point for newcomers.


Cardiovascular Bliss: The Fast Pace of Yoga: Contrary to popular belief, yoga can be a fantastic cardio workout. The fluid transitions in our classes keep your heart rate up, offering a cardiovascular boost without the high-impact stress on joints. The rhythmic flow not only enhances stamina but also promotes a sense of mindfulness, syncing breath with movement.



Strength Unleashed: Yoga Beyond the Mat: Yoga at Yoga by Emily goes beyond the mat, emphasizing the development of physical strength through intentional poses and sequences. The incorporation of bodyweight exercises and challenging postures ensures that each class contributes to building and toning muscles, fostering a well-rounded approach to fitness.




At Yoga by Emily, Portsmouth, I invite you to discover the dynamic facets of yoga that extend far beyond the notion of a traditional fitness class. Whether you're drawn to the power-packed sequences of power yoga, the intense heat of hot yoga, or the structured strength-building of Ashtanga, our classes offer a holistic approach to well-being.



Embrace the dynamic side of yoga, where each session not only challenges your physical limits but also nurtures a sense of balance, mindfulness, and inner strength. Join us on the mat and redefine your perspective on what yoga can truly offer to enhance your overall fitness journey.
