the practice

  • meditation

    in today’s world, true silence and genuine stillness have become rare. The pace of life can easily take over, pulling us away from what truly matters. Meditation offers a return - a gentle shift back to your centre.

    through consistent practice, you cultivate clarity, emotional steadiness, and a grounded presence. It becomes both a refuge and a training - a practice of remembering yourself.

    As Anand Mehrotra teaches:
    “The greater access you have to the field of silence, the greater access you have to nature’s intelligence.”

  • breath work

    a powerful practice designed to shift, balance, and enliven the body’s energetic landscape.

    breathwork - including Himalayan kriya - taps into the vast reservoir of energy within, awakening vitality and inner clarity.

    these techniques work on a psycho-physiological level: oxygenating the entire body, supporting circulation, and strengthening respiratory function.

    by guiding us beyond the constant loops of the thinking mind, breathwork becomes a potent tool for clearing stagnant energy, releasing emotional tension, and creating space for renewed presence, stability, and ease.

  • asana

    asana - meaning seat - is the physical aspect of yoga, the practice that brings us into relationship with the body.

    through years of immersive movement training, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how the body can move with efficiency, strength, suppleness, and spaciousness.

    Ha meaning sun, and Tha meaning moon - Hatha yoga invites balance by uniting our inner dualities. Using this beautiful, foundational practice as my base, I integrate complementary styles and offer considered hands-on adjustments, supporting you to create space and expansiveness.

  • embodied movement

    embodiment is the exploration of how the body holds our lived experience.

    becoming embodied is a process of coming home - returning to your centre and bringing awareness to how you move, feel, and think.

    the body offers a physical reference point, a place where we can listen more deeply and learn more honestly about our lives.

    regardless of your experience, age, or ability, this practice is an invitation into expression beyond form or performance. There is no right way to feel or move - only your way.

    “Whatever you can do or dream you can do, the 'Rewilding Within' retreat opened the door to my dream of developing a relationship with my body and then, making a conscious connection between that body with my mind and soul.

    'Rewilding Within' gifted me the opportunity to renew both the way I relate to myself, to others and to the world we are in.  
    Rewilding is to renew ”

  • Amanda

    “Esmée has got me hooked on yoga! After practising sporadically since my early twenties I never quite ‘got it’, but after some 1:1’s with Esmée things have fallen into place. She has just the most lovely manner, is so knowledgeable and adapts each practice to suit your needs”

  • Claire

    “The perfect blend of meditation & yoga. Esmée is a very supportive teacher & yogi, adapting poses for people of all abilities, helping us reach our potential. A thoroughly lovely person - look forward to seeing her again”

    “Beautifully organised with each day more fulfilling than the one before. Esmée is an incredible teacher, her presentation, instructions and manner are gentle yet encouraging. She brings you on a beautiful & fulfilling journey from day one”

  • Jane

    “I liked Esmée the moment I met her. I have since had several private and group yoga lessons with her, both face to face and via Zoom. Physically, mentally - I always feel on top of the world after our sessions. I feel this is due to her special personality. She is a really lovely soft-spoken, wise, gentle and grounded person - maybe some of that rubs off… I highly recommend her, I can’t get enough of her classes myself.”
