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.
 

While living in Madhya Pradesh, Emma taught yoga daily to local and international students and contributed a regular column to The Hindustan Times on yogic philosophy, asana, and holistic living. In 2009, she returned to the UK and founded Kanga Wellbeing—a company offering Yoga classes, Yoga and Ayurveda trainings, retreats, and holistic therapies in the UK and internationally. Emma was also the co-founder of Kanga Studio London, a beloved community space that supported many students over the years. 

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, Tattvaa Yogashala, 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.

Class description:

Kanga Yoga is an energetic, alignment-based flow practice that offers a devotional journey through breath, sound, and movement to awaken the body and mind. Inspired by the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, Swami Sivananda, and Yogacharya Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois, Kanga Yoga emphasises precise alignment, music, and breath to help explore the intricacies of one's being.

Each class adapts to the unique needs of its students, embracing diverse body types and energies. Through this personalised approach, students can discover balance and well-being. As postures are held with unwavering precision, discomfort fades, the mind finds ease, and energy channels are opened, igniting a vibrant flow within.

Rooted in the principles of Ayurveda, Kanga Yoga nurtures wellbeing by helping students maintain balance in their physical and mental energy, supporting their overall health.

Kanga Yoga brings the body and mind into balance, preparing practitioners to transcend the physical, connect with their spirit, and embrace the radiant source within.
