Hi I'm Emilie Joy Garrould
I am devoted to supporting women in coming home to their bodies.
Not through perfect postures.
Not through striving.
But through listening.
My work lives at the meeting point of yoga, bodywork, seasonality and the sea. Rooted in North Norfolk, shaped by tides and salt air, I am continually inspired by cycles. The moon. The wheel of the year. The way water teaches us to soften and reshape rather than force.
I first found yoga in 2014 when my body and mind felt disconnected. Since then, I have trained in yoga and bodywork and spent nearly a decade working hands-on with women’s bodies. What I know now is this: the body does not need fixing. It needs safety. It needs space. It needs time.
My classes are nervous-system aware and heart-led. We move with rhythm and music as guide. We explore strength and softness. We journal. We pause. We honour the energetics of a female nervous system, the power of oxytocin, the medicine of community.
Through The Current, Sacred Cycles, summer gatherings at the Wild Yoga Garden, and my annual retreat at West Lexham, I hold spaces that are less about achievement and more about embodiment. Spaces where you are invited to explore, empower and embrace your body in all its uniqueness and wonder.
My bodywork practice deepens this devotion. Through touch, breath and fascia-informed tending, I support women in releasing long-held tension and remembering the intelligence within their tissues.
Water is my greatest teacher. The sea. The selkie stories. The ebb and flood of tide. They remind me that we are allowed to change shape. That we are cyclical. That we can return to ourselves again and again.
Community sits at the heart of everything I offer. These are spaces of shared humanity, gentle accountability and self-responsibility. You are invited to show up exactly as you are and to leave more connected to your own inner knowing.
You are not a problem to solve.
You are a living, breathing body worthy of devotion.
