SATURDAY 31ST MAY 12.15 – 2.15 PM | Donation of choice 3,000 – 4,500
Discover the art of precision, stability, and balance in your yoga practice. Rooted in the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, this workshop will guide you to deepen your understanding of alignment, breath, and awareness within each posture. Through a detailed and mindful exploration of classical asanas, we will refine the foundations of practice, build strength, and create space for greater freedom and ease in the body. Expect intelligent sequencing, the use of props for support and extension, and personal guidance to meet you where you are. This workshop is open to all levels and is especially beneficial for students and teachers who wish to enhance their practice with greater integrity and insight.
ABOUT EMMA BONNICI:
Emma Bonnici began her journey into Yoga and Ayurveda in 2006, travelling through Kenya and eventually to India, where she immersed herself in traditional teachings and ashram life. Her time studying under dedicated teachers and Ayurvedic doctors laid the foundation for her approach: adapting yoga practices to suit individual body types, doshas, and health conditions in alignment with Ayurvedic wisdom.
Her uplifting, intuitive classes—rooted in hands-on adjustments, music, and personalised teaching—soon became known as Kanga Yoga, blending the physical and energetic practices of yoga with the healing depth of Ayurveda.
Emma has since trained hundreds of students in-person and online, guiding them through Yoga and Ayurveda, including asana, pranayama, and spiritual studies, with clarity, compassion, and encouragement. She is currently based in Kenya, where she founded Kanga Studio Nairobi, a space dedicated to community classes, healing workshops and therapies, and holistic education.
Her practice has been shaped by her time at Sivananda Kutir Ashram, the Yoga Study Centre with Yogacharya Sri Rudradev Swamiji,, Tattvaa Yogashala with Kamal Singh, and ongoing studies with Ushaji of Patanjala Yoga Kendran. Emma continues to return to Rishikesh for her own sadhana and is deeply committed to sharing the healing power of Yoga and Ayurveda with diverse communities worldwide.
