Emily Warrior

Hello!

My name is Emily Warrior (yes, that really is my surname!), and I am a Yoga and Pilates practitioner and teacher online and in Lincoln, UK.

I discovered the world of yoga in the midst of my teenage angst years. For a long time, I was struggling to cope with anxiety and depression, I was suffering from debilitating lower back pain, achy joints and tight shoulders. I began looking for ways to help myself because I felt so disconnected from myself and my body. I was done with allowing my uncontrollable mind to control my life, and I knew deep down that I wanted and deserved to be happy. I had felt lost for so long, I craved to find myself again.

I started reading self-help books, going to therapy and began exercising regularly. I first discovered Pilates, which was essentially my gateway into Yoga. One day, I was scrolling through the wonderful world of YouTube looking for a home-exercise video I could follow along too, and I came upon a short Yoga video. I gave it a shot, and I haven't looked back since.

All my life, I had been told that I am 'too sensitive', that I needed to 'toughen up',' you care too much', blah blah blah.. Thankfully, Yoga soon gave me the permission I needed to feel anything and everything that was present. Yoga gave me the space I needed to heal mentally, it allowed me to sit with all the joy, all the pain, all the love and heartbreak, to be really here in my body, instead of my mind. I felt so much stronger mentally and physically.

I quickly fell in love with the deep presence, mental clarity and physical power of the practice, and in September 2019, I took a leap of faith and signed up for a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. I embarked on this journey on my own, leaving my home, full-time job, friends & family behind for a month, which was super scary and exhilarating all at the same time.

Fast forward a few more years I wanted to continue my eduacation and took another leap of faith into the world of Pilates, and in 2023, I qualified as a Level 3 Mat Pilates Teacher, fast forward a little more to the present day, and I am thriving, living my wildest dreams, my mental and physical health no longer controls me, and best of all - I get to share and pass on the magic of these practices with you!

My mission

One of the main reasons why I took the leap into the world of yoga and Pilates is to spread the joy, healing & freedom these practices bring to oneself. I want to help liberate you from aches and pains in your body & mind and create a safe, loving space for yourself, within yourself.
I only teach what I practice to stay authentic to the traditions of yoga and pilates; however, it is my mission to bring Yoga/pilates to everyone and anyone from all walks of life, which sometimes means honouring the ebbs & flows of life and its cycles.

Whatever your goals are in your wellbeing journey, I want to show that you do not need to be flexible, have fancy equipment and a studio to practice. The beauty of yoga and pilates is that all you need is yourself, some space to move your body and an open mind.
