I’m Emma Peel, Yoga teacher and Acupuncturist.
Through Yin Yoga, meditation and the lens of Chinese Medicine, I help people explore the body as a doorway into a more honest relationship with mind, emotion and the deeper patterns of their lives.
Yin-Side: A Living Map
For living well inside a changing human life
Yin-Side is a place to explore the body, breath, awareness, deep rest and the changing seasons as doorways into a deeper conversation with life.
Through practices, reflections and seasonal teachings, it supports not only how we move, but how we live. There is no correct place to begin, only an invitation to start where you are.
What’s included?
Live Classes
Weekly Yin Yoga, meditation and breath practices taught live online, with space to practise in real time and revisit through recordings.
Seasonal Practice Spaces
Dedicated seasonal pages exploring the Five Elements through practices, reflections and teachings that evolve throughout the year.
Practice Library
A growing collection of Yin Yoga, meditation, pranayama, Yoga Nidra and reflections, organised around Body, Breath, Awareness, Deep Rest
and the Seasons.
“Emma has created a community that has given me a sense of purpose, belonging, friendships and support. Her mantra of ‘ yoga for everybody and every body’ has certainly challenged me to think about how I move, think and breathe.”

the Five Element System
-
The Five Element system is rooted in nature. It offers a way of remembering that we are part of nature, not separate from it.
It is not something to learn so much as something to recognise again.
In practice, it can act as a simple compass - helping you orient when life feels unclear or when you feel disconnected from yourself.
-
At the beginning of each season (Spring, Summer, Late Summer, Autumn and Winter), there’ll be new content which expands on the new cycle we’re entering. You’ll discover which of the organs that are most active within this stage of the cycle, the way Qi behaves at this point within the whole process, and how this can be understood in terms of moods and emotions.
-
Typically, each movement spans for a period of three months, with the exception of Late Summer, which is a much shorter season. During a season, live classes will explore many aspects associated with the current conditions from both Indian and Chinese thinking. In the membership, you have access to these again and again for the entire season.
-
It is important that what we explore together remains in and of the moment. At the end of each phase, a small number of the season’s classes will remain in the library and you’ll continue to be able to access these anytime. The recordings we say farewell to will be replaced by the new season of classes.
“The Five Seasons approach chimed with something I was discovering for myself. These have created an understanding of something that even at first I didn’t understand, but carry on questioning & returning to. I experience my own experience.”
More about me
-
My Yoga journey began with a book that arrived at a moment in my life when I couldn’t ignore it.
What followed was not only an interest in physical practice, but a growing sensitivity to something subtle and familiar within it - something that felt deeply human.
-
I teach through experience.
Encouraging curiosity, embodied awareness, and the willingness to step beyond fixed ideas of what practice should look like.
In my classes and trainings, practice becomes a space where we learn to meet ourselves more honestly - physically, emotionally and energetically - through attention, breath and felt experience.
-
I am a registered Senior Yoga Teacher and Teacher Trainer with Yoga Alliance Professionals.
I have over 5000 hours of teaching experience alongside a focus since 2014 in Yin Yoga, anatomy and Chinese Medicine.
My teaching weaves together Yin Yoga, anatomy, Chinese Medicine and Five Elements theory, with a focus on lived experience, nervous system awareness and embodiment.
-
Alongside Yoga, I also work with acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in a clinical setting, supporting people with physical symptoms, emotional states and deeper patterns of imbalance.
