Yoga Classes

  • Hatha Yoga at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    Hatha Yoga - Horley Row

    Hatha Yoga is a foundational and traditional style of yoga practice that focuses on physical postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama) to align, strengthen, and purify the body and mind. It emphasises balance between opposing forces, such as strength and flexibility, and aims to create harmony.. Hatha yoga classes typically involve a series of static poses held for varying durations, combined with conscious breathing techniques. This style of yoga provides a solid framework for beginners to develop a deeper understanding of yoga postures and their effects, while also offering the more experienced yoga an opportunity to refine their practice and explore subtler aspects of yoga.

  • Flow / Vinyasa Yoga at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    Slow Flow - Horley Row

    Vinyasa Yoga, often called Flow Yoga, is a dynamic style of yoga where movement is synchronised with breath. Unlike some other yoga forms that hold poses for extended periods, Vinyasa seamlessly links postures together in a fluid sequence. Each inhale or exhale guides you into or out of a pose, creating a continuous rhythm that helps build internal heat and improve cardiovascular fitness.

    Because there's no fixed sequence, Vinyasa classes can vary widely depending on the instructor, offering a creative and diverse practice. The focus on linking breath and movement not only builds strength, flexibility, and balance but also helps calm the mind, transforming the physical practice into a moving meditation.

    Although suitable for all levels, if you are completely new to yoga practice we recommend trying a hatha, soothe or yin class first.

  • Yin & Yang Yoga at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    Yin & Yang Yoga - Horley Row

    Yin & Yang Yoga is a beautifully balanced practice designed to harmonise the body’s opposing energies. By combining the dynamic, strengthening elements of a ‘Yang’ flow with the deep, meditative stillness of ‘Yin’, this class offers a complete physical and mental recalibration.

    The Yang: Energy & Strength. The first half of the session focuses on the ‘Yang’—the solar, active side of our practice. Through fluid, rhythmic movement and standing postures, we build internal heat, improve cardiovascular fitness, and strengthen the muscles. This portion of the class is designed to shift stagnant energy and build physical stamina, leaving you feeling energised and focused.

    The Yin: Stillness & Release. As the body warms, we transition into the ‘Yin’—the lunar, cooling side of the practice. Here, we move into passive, longer-held floor poses that target the deeper connective tissues, fascia, and joints. By holding these postures in stillness for several minutes, we encourage a profound release of tension, stimulate the body’s meridians (energy channels), and soothe the nervous system.

  • Restorative Yoga at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    Restorative Yoga - Horley Row

    Restorative Yoga is a deeply soothing practice designed to nourish the body and quiet the mind. This class is an essential "reset" for anyone feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or simply in need of a space to be still.

    Throughout the session, we explore various breathing techniques (pranayama) and gentle movements (asana), seamlessly synchronising each action with the breath. The practice features a mindful blend of standing, seated, and lying postures, alongside accessible balancing poses to ground your energy.

    The Intentional Pause The primary focus of Restorative Yoga is not on physical exertion, but on active relaxation. By holding supported postures, we encourage the nervous system to shift from 'fight or flight' into a state of deep rest. This process helps to:

    Calm the Nervous System, Bridge the Mind-Body Connection and Release Deep-Seated Tension.

  • Vinyasa Yoga at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    Midweek Reset Vinyasa - Horley Row

    Mid-week Reset Vinyasa is a dynamic 'Flow' yoga session designed to help you shake off the stresses of the working week and find your rhythm again. In this practice, movement is synchronised with the breath, linking postures together in a fluid, continuous sequence that feels like a moving meditation.

    Unlike static styles of yoga, each inhale or exhale guides you seamlessly from one pose to the next. This creates a rhythmic flow that helps build internal heat and improve cardiovascular fitness, whilst simultaneously calming the mind. Because there is no fixed sequence, this class offers a creative and diverse practice that emphasises the release of mid-week tension through strength, flexibility, and balance.

    By focusing on the connection between breath and movement, you’ll leave the mat feeling both physically energised and mentally centred.

  • Strong Hatha at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    Strong Hatha - Horley Row

    Strong Hatha takes the foundational principles of traditional yoga and elevates the physical challenge. While remaining focussed on alignment and breath control (pranayama), this class introduces longer holds and more demanding sequences designed to build functional strength and unwavering balance.

    Expect a practice that explores the 'Ha' (sun/effort) more deeply, utilising static poses to fire up the core and stabilise the joints. By holding asanas for extended periods, you will develop mental resilience and muscular endurance. This class is ideal for those who have a basic understanding of yoga and are looking to bridge the gap between a gentle practice and a more athletic, stamina-based session.

  • Flow to Restore Yoga at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    Flow to Restore - Horley Row

    A calming Sunday evening yoga class designed to help you slow down, soften and reset before the week ahead. Flow to Restore begins with a Hatha/Vinyasa flow to ease stiffness, build light warmth and connect movement with breath, before transitioning into restorative, yin-style postures that encourage deep release and rest.

    Led by a different member of our yoga team each week, Flow to Restore offers a subtly unique experience, with the teachers gentle variations in energy, sequencing and intention, all held within a familiar, grounding structure. Expect a slower pace, mindful movement and a deeply soothing atmosphere, leaving you balanced, restored and ready for a restful night’s sleep.

  • The Yoga Wheel at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    The Yoga Wheel - Horley Row

    Explore the yoga wheel in this dynamic and supportive 60-minute class, designed to enhance flexibility, improve balance, and build strength. This versatile prop allows you to safely deepen backbends, open the shoulders, refine inversions, and improve overall spinal mobility in a way that feels both accessible and empowering.

    Each session blends strength, stretch, and mobility work, giving you the opportunity to challenge yourself while also feeling supported. Whether you're looking to expand your movement practice or simply try something new, the yoga wheel offers a playful and effective way to explore your body differently.

    No prior experience with the yoga wheel is needed, just bring curiosity and a willingness to move.

Tower Pilates Classes

  • Tower Pilates at Studio EMBA, Horley Row, Horley, Surrey

    Pilates Tower Fundamentals - Horley Row

    The Tower Pilates is a powerful apparatus designed to build the four pillars of physical longevity: Stability, Strength, Stretch, and Stamina. By utilising a system of springs, bars, and loops, this class provides a unique blend of resistance and support. Unlike traditional mat work, the Tower offers tactile feedback that helps you identify muscle imbalances and encourages deeper core activation. The spring resistance challenges your control during both the concentric and eccentric phases of movement, leading to leaner muscle tone and improved functional strength.

    What to Expect:

    Precision & Control: We focus on slow, deliberate movements that improve posture and spinal alignment.

    Spring-Assisted Stretching: Use the resistance of the Tower to find a deeper, more supported stretch than is possible on the mat alone.

    Full-Body Stabilisation: Engage the smaller, stabilising muscles that protect the joints and enhance balance.

    Grip socks are essential for attending class.

Class FAQ’s

Booking your first class?

To get started, we recommend purchasing either a mat work single class pass or a reformer/tower single class pass. Explore the full timetable and see all the different classes available at Studio EMBA.

You don’t need an induction or any special equipment, simply bring yourself and something comfortable to wear. Classes can be bought individually, in bulk or as a membership, giving you complete flexibility for how you want to use the studio.

Not sure where to start? Answer a few quick questions below and we’ll help you find the perfect classes for you.

  • Any clothing that is comfortable and allows freedom of movement; no fancy clothing required! Socks or no socks, your choice!

    *Reformer, tower and barre requires grippy socks to participate

  • Beginners are very welcome. Throughout the classes we give lots of encouragement and guidance so you know how to complete each exercise. Adaptations for exercises will be made to make the exercise both easier and harder. Pick your modification based on your level. And always speak up or give me a wave if you’re not sure.

    If you’re returning from an injury or feel unsure about where to start, we recommend Gentle Pilates. In this class you will exercise whilst sitting on a chair or standing and work on strengthening and balance. This is a great class for all ages and abilities.

  • Just bring yourself. Pilates and yoga mats are provided, including any equipment we use. Grippy socks are required for Reformer, tower and Barre, but ordinary socks can be used for pilates and yoga.

  • A barre workout is generally designed to be a full-body muscular endurance workout – think low resistance, high reps.

    Barre's ballet inspiration is often reflected in the class programming with traditional ballet exercises such as plies, arabesques and a lot of unilateral work (working on one side of the body at a time).

    Barre provides an efficient high-intensity yet low-impact full-body workout, meaning that it works you hard but without putting any unnecessary strain on your body.

    Barre heightens your sense of control, balance and your coordination with a focus on working your core, arms, glutes, thighs and abdominals, all with a low impact exercise.

  • Pilates, celebrated for its gentle, low impact approach, fosters balanced strength by refining muscle coordination. This refined strength, particularly emphasising the core, not only enhances everyday movement but also proves invaluable for various physical activities, including sports and recovery. By improving core stability, Pilates enhances overall movement efficiency, aiding in daily tasks and leisure activities, while also benefiting athletic performance and reducing the risk of injuries. Moreover, its focus on controlled movements and breathwork promotes better recovery, ensuring a quicker return to activities and minimising downtime.

  • We have a capactity of 12 people in a pilates or yoga class and 5 in a reformer or tower class.

    Barre classes have a capacity of 9.

  • We do have a large bathroom area which can be used as a private changing room, but unfortunately we don’t have any showering facilities at the studio
