About Ema
Ema came to yoga seeking emotional balance and found the route to that through the body. Although Ema is inspired by the spiritual and philosophical aspects of yoga, her practice and classes are concrete and physical, informed by a solid grounding in anatomy. She says:
“We explore our physical form - the ‘field of action’ where our lives play out - to create harmony and health, and through the shapes we make, find freedom and new ways of inhabiting the world.”
Ema completed her 200-hour CYS Teacher Training at Merchant City Yoga in 2018 and since then has undertaken further training and study in anatomy, yin yoga, meditation, trauma-informed practice, yoga philosophy, history and Sanskrit.
Ema’s knowledge, experience, passion and enthusiasm come across in the warm, playful and encouraging atmosphere of her teaching.

About Marta
When Marta began her yoga practice in 2007 she was initially drawn to its physical aspects, but soon became aware of its therapeutic properties, where mind and body find harmony through mindfulness in movement.
A graduate of Merchant City Yoga's 200-hour CYS Teacher Training in 2017, Marta's passion for understanding the body-mind connection led her to expand her expertise into complementary healing arts. She completed her Thai Yoga Massage therapy training with Lucy Trend at the Shiatsu and Thai Massage Training Scotland, finding that these ancient techniques beautifully enhanced her approach to yoga instruction.
Inspired by the profound changes she experienced both on and off the mat, Marta founded Yoga Untangled - Yoga and Massage Therapies in 2017. Her commitment to continuous learning has led her to acquire specialised certifications in yin yoga, youth-focused yoga and mindfulness (working with kids, teenagers, and young adults) and Ayurvedic massage. Currently pursuing her Advanced Teacher Training, Marta brings a rich tapestry of knowledge to her workshops.
