Philosophy Club

A rich, modern, informal space to explore yoga philosophy in a way that is practical, heart driven and community led.

So often the only way to learn about yoga philosophy is in dry academic books, expensive courses or as part of a full yoga teacher training. In philosophy club we approach the yoga teachings as a pragmatic, human and grounded system of practice that helps us to live better here and now.

The sessions take the form of group discussion on the topic of the day. No prior reading is required as handouts will be provided and we'll explore the material together by questioning, unpacking, discussing and sharing - what we feel, what we wonder, what makes sense and what doesn’t.

I hold my philosophy clubs in person at Merchant City Yoga, and online - find more info on both below.

I believe yoga philosophy should be as accessible as physical āsana classes. That’s why I hold a monthly Philosophy Club in person at Merchant City Yoga where we meet to discuss and explore themes of yoga philosophy in a down to earth way.

The next meeting of Philo Club will be Sunday 28th September, 3-4.30pm.

Subsequent dates at MCY:
Sunday 26th October
Sunday 23rd November

Philo Club ONLINE is an accessible and global space to gather, discuss, and share, to make sense of our daily lives through the lens of ancient wisdom.

The next meeting of Philo Club ONLINE will be Tuesday 7th October, 7.00 - 8.30pm (British Summer Time)

Philo Club Feedback

  • “I attended Ema’s philosophy club regularly last year and loved every session. Ema is an excellent speaker so I’m always hooked from start to finish . They are skilled in making yoga philosophy easy to understand and relevant to modern living. I always leave the sessions feeling lighter and as though I can take on the world”

  • “The philosophy club is a really unique idea and such an enjoyable way to grasp a better understanding of the yoga teachings in a practical way. ”

  • “The Philosophy Club has been an invitation to explore the yoga tradition beyond what my body can or can't do on a mat.  It is an opportunity to pause and reflect, and meaningfully discuss this wonderful and difficult human experience.  The philosophy aspect provides the lens, and language, to do this and has never felt in any way inaccessible, in fact, just the opposite.  It is unassuming, engaging and generally a really fun and relaxed way to spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon!” —
