Welcome home, my love!
You don't need to be good at yoga, look a certain way, or even feel like you have it all together. That is not what I am about at Sanctuary Yoga & Wellness. I bring together yoga, massage and coaching because you are not just a body or just a mind, you are a whole person, and that is how I work with you. There are no expectations; come as you are into the sanctuary away from the outside world.
Yoga & Wellness for women curated by Emma Tamplin to help you achieve balance, renewed vitality and calmness within.
Life can be hard at times, often as women we are pulled in all directions, family, work, friends, health, wellness, and the list goes on...
It is exhausting!
The mission at Sanctuary Yoga & Wellness is to help you forget who you are to others every day and remember who you are inside, before everyone else started to take a piece of you.
Our time together is all about deep relaxation and allowing your body to rest.
Welcome Home...
At Sanctuary Yoga & Wellness, it’s not just about relaxation – it’s about Nervous System Healing.
Combining ancient therapies with modern wellness techniques to create
an experience that nurtures your mind, body, and spirit.


Every woman is different, and your treatment is always tailored to your unique needs. From the moment you arrive, it’s all about what allows YOU to relax.
The Return to Earth collection was curated for you, my love.
You want to feel grounded again, maybe life took you somewhere you never thought it would, maybe you are standing in the middle of a big life transition and don't quite know which way to turn, or you are just so exhausted from being everything to everyone and need some time where you can be held and feel nurtured.
When you step into my sanctuary, your whole system will start to take a big exhale. The scents, curated just for you, begin to soothe your nervous system out of fight or flight, the warmth of the wooden cabin wraps around you like a hug, a welcome home and a sense of safety all at once.
This is not just a massage. It is an experience designed to bring you back to yourself, layer by layer, breath by breath.
You leave with a sense of connection that comes when you feel safe enough to enter deep relaxation, floating along, and a feeling that makes you want to go home, put the kettle on, and put your feet up. You leave knowing you will sleep well that night.
And sometimes, that is everything.


The Return to Movement collection was curated for you, my love.
If you are ready to release on a deeper level and start to move through the grip you are holding in your body, that tightness you can’t seem to release, no matter what you do. You want to feel the energy move through your body, the stretch that allows your hips to soften, the pause in the movement that allows you to take that deep exhale, or even the moment in the position when you feel that yawn as your nervous system starts to trust again.
When you leave my sanctuary, you feel like you have really taken the time not just to feel where you are holding on in your body, but how you can safely let go. You release that you don't have to hold it all together all the time. Sometimes you can be the one to surrender and find a way to fully soothe your system. Every time you forgot to breathe, that gentle nudge from me reminded you, because often in life you forget, and through your breath, those anxious feelings you carry can start to dissolve.
You will leave feeling grounded in your power. Your boundaries with yourself will be stronger, and you will know how important it is to take this time to truly connect with yourself on a deeper level.
You arrive feeling anxious, so much is going on, and you're unsure of what to expect. The first thing you receive is a smile and a welcome home. You can breathe now. The warmth of the wooden cabin instantly grounds you, and the scents, curated just for you and your journey today, begin to soften something you have been holding for a long time.
We spend time in each position; there is no rush. We allow your body to open and soften at its own pace. The gentle touch of Reiki meets you exactly where you are, helping you feel where you have been holding on. Something may shift within. Maybe you finally connect with your breath. The journey is yours and yours alone. I guide, but you are always in control of how deep you go within.
You leave with a calmness you haven't felt for a long time. We didn’t chase big releases that made you feel out of control. It was the softness that brought you back.
In a world that has kept you vigilant for so long, this is your permission to let go finally.


You are carrying the weight of everyone else's problems and experiences, saying yes to everyone around you and often saying no to yourself. You know it is your time, you have given so much of yourself to life, and now you are finally ready to give some of that back to yourself.
If that is you, you are ready for change!
We start with a cuppa and a yap. I want to know everything: what has been bothering you, what is keeping you up at night, where you feel stuck and what you have been afraid to say out loud. This is a space without judgment, where you can finally get it all out of your head and into the open.
Once I know everything, we navigate it together and put a plan in place to help you move through it. Because the real work happens when you leave here, in the small daily choices that begin to create the change you have been waiting for.
I am just your guide. But I can see your worth, and I know you can do this.
You will leave with clarity, actions that keep the momentum going and with the quiet knowing that it is finally your turn.
Step away from the noise and into a space that nourishes you.
Our retreats and workshops are carefully crafted spaces where you can breathe, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the busyness.
Whether you join us for a day retreat or a longer immersive experience, every gathering is held with warmth, intention, and the kind of care that stays with you long after you leave.
This is your invitation to pause, be held, and come home to yourself.

If you have ever felt called to carry this work further, to hold space for others the way you have been held, the Sanctuary trainings were created for you.
From Reiki Level One to the upcoming Reiki Yoga and Grief Yoga programmes, each training is built on the belief that when we share knowledge, we all heal a little more.

Sanctuary Yoga & Wellness was born out of profound heartbreak and chaos. Emma started her career in sports and wellness at 23. Her first business taught her so much about resilience, strength, and the importance of never giving up hope.
In 2015, her whole life was shattered around her with four devastating words: "Your daughter has cancer". You never expect to hear those words as mum, but there she was, living every parent's worst nightmare.
In 2019, Megan, Emma's daughter, lost her life to cancer, and Emma's world was shattered in that moment. Unsure where her path would go now, Emma began a deeper healing journey that finally allowed her to live in her purpose.
Emma is a passionate therapist who loves working with women going through life transitions, whatever they may be. Emma creates a space of warmth, calm and a feeling of safety to be your true self.
