About Shine Shakti

Welcome to Shine Shakti (by me, Emma)…

Me, Emma.

I’m Emma: mother, yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and more. I speak with a hint of American twang, dream in science fiction, and marvel out loud at the mystery of it all.

I live in the Blue Mountains with my partner, our dog, and our toddler.

Here for magic.

Hey! Hi. I’m here for the magic. Yoga - and the way yoga lights up the miracles around and within me - gives me absolute certainty that magic is real.

I’m here to share this with you. And I’m here to support you in your motherhood with yoga.

Here for yoga.

Almost 10 years ago, I began teaching yoga as part of a wellbeing program at a university. Since then, I’ve taught in the most magical of places including my driveway, various studios, a women’s shelter, workplaces, and online. Before pregnancy was even on my mind, I did my first pre- and post-natal yoga training… and I’m now hooked on sharing the love and power of yoga with mothers and mothers-to-be.

This, Shine Shakti.

Like many wild and creative things, Shine Shakti was born during lockdown. After teaching yoga for years, I was ready to do it on my own terms: honouring yoga’s ancient roots and amplifying the shakti, the loving power, that yoga shines a light on. Shine Shakti began online with general yoga classes, and has since evolved to focus on Yoga with Baby and Pregnancy Yoga, both online and in the Blue Mountains.

Other things I’m up to! I’m an authorised marriage celebrant, and I perform not only weddings but a range of life event ceremonies like baby namings and commitment ceremonies. I also do some work for Birth Afloat, a small Aussie company that hires and sells birth pools. Contact me if you want to know more!
