HEY YOU!
I'M SO GLAD TO MEET YOU.
My name is Emma, and I am thrilled to introduce you to my project: Hortari.
I created this space with a simple idea in mind: to bring people together through movement, shared experiences, and genuine human connection.
Take a look around and discover what movement, connection, and community can look like at Hortari.
I'd love to welcome you to a class soon!
WHAT IS HORTARI?
hortari (lat., verb) : to gently encourage growth, expression, or exploration.
Hortari is a modern yoga community built around three simple ideas:
MOVE
Our classes blend traditional yogic practices with modern movement to help you reconnect with your body and navigate the demands of modern life.
GROW
Each class is built around a theme inspired by yoga philosophy and adapted to everyday life, inviting you to leave with more than just a good workout. There is a sense of progression where you really have the feeling to improve class after class.
CONNECT
Yoga doesn't end with Savasana.
Classes are designed to always include time for genuine connection beyond the mat, whether through relaxed tea circles, meaningful conversations, or larger community gatherings. Hortari fosters a warm, judgment-free atmosphere where authentic relationships can grow naturally.
AN AUTHENTIC INTENTION
BEHING EACH CLASS
Every session is built around a theme inspired by traditional yoga philosophy and connected to challenges we face in everyday life.
We blend ancient tradition with more contemporary styles to offer you a creative sequence, infused with purpose and intention.
THIS IS WHAT A CLASS USUALLY LOOKS LIKE:
THEME INTRODUCTION
Each season explores a central theme, broken down into smaller intentions designed to support you in everyday life. Inspired by yoga philosophy and other wisdom traditions, every class contributes to a bigger journey.
BREATHE WITH INTENTION
Pranayama is an essential part of the practice because yoga is about far more than physical movement. Through the breath, we influence our vital energy, or prana, creating the bridge between body and mind and setting the tone for the practice ahead.
Yoga may be the reason we meet,
but community is what makes us stay.
MOVE WITH PURPOSE
A creative sequence blending traditional teachings and modern movement styles, thoughtfully designed around the theme of the day.
REFLECT AND INTEGRATE
We close with meditation, giving space for the intention of the practice to settle and take root.
CONNECT BEYOND THE MAT
Tea, conversations, community gatherings, and shared experiences. Because some of the most meaningful moments happen after the practice ends.

« The yoga classes and the space around them that Emma created have been so valuable to me. They formed an anchor that helped me explore so much... At the beginning in Amsterdam I really needed an anchor because the sea felt pretty rough. Hortari Yoga helped me find it and I can now sail in the wind. »

« I had a wonderful mobility flow yoga session, divinely guided by Emma.
Her philosophy and various healing practices allowed me to experience a gentle and grounding awakening of my body and mind.
Her approach is authentic and generous. Emma is a radiant teacher who creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I can’t wait for the next session! Thank you, Emma🙏🏾 »
