Welcome to Om Yoga Shala
Rooted in tradition. Created with care.
Om Yoga Shala is a calm and welcoming yoga space nestled in the quiet surrounds of Langwarrin South, created to offer a quiet, grounded place for traditional yoga practice. Set on a rural property, it is a space shaped by care, presence, and respect for yoga as a way of life.
Here, yoga is practiced gently in small groups that allow for personal connection and a sense of ease.
Hello! I'm Emma
Founder of Om Yoga Shala
Yoga has been part of my life for over 30 years, rooted in the traditional practice of Hatha Yoga. From the beginning, I was drawn to yoga not as a form of exercise, but as a holistic path that supports the body, calms the mind, and invites deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
After the loss of my partner, yoga became a quiet companion—offering space to pause, to breathe, and to learn how to live alongside profound grief. During this time, I felt called to deepen my understanding of yoga’s traditional roots and commenced my teacher training journey with the Yoga and Meditation School of India.
While I did not originally intend to teach, the depth and sense of grounding this practice brought to my life gradually reshaped my path. Om Yoga Shala grew from this experience, and from a wish to share yoga in a way that honours its traditions while meeting people gently where they are.
My teaching is grounded in compassion, presence and respect for yoga as a way of life. Alongside traditional classes, I also offer dedicated Yoga for Grief sessions, shaped by my own experience of how this practice can support us through loss. My intention is to offer a calm and supportive environment where you can move gently, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.
I am a qualified Senior Yoga Teacher (350 hours) registered with Yoga Australia, and have undertaken additional training in trauma-sensitive yoga, yin yoga, and yoga for grief and loss.
My intention for Om Yoga Shala is simple: to offer a space where you can breathe, feel, and simply be.
About the Space
Om Yoga Shala is held in a quiet, light-filled studio on a rural property in Langwarrin South. The setting is intentionally simple and calm, offering a sense of retreat from the busyness of daily life.
The space is fully equipped with high quality mats and yoga props, soft lighting, and a warm, quiet atmosphere looking out onto nature. Classes are small and unhurried, allowing time to settle, to feel supported, and to practice without pressure.
The shala is here to support you from the moment you step inside.
