About Em
Hi, I'm Em! I lead all Little Glimmer classes and retreats.
I believe yoga is for every body—you won't find me attempting arm balances, but you will discover a practice that's playful, grounding, and deeply nurturing. What I love most is creating space for those little sparks of wisdom to emerge just when you need them most.
My classes are a supportive space where curiosity is celebrated and your unique journey is honoured.
The Little Glimmer Difference
Every Experience is Retreat-like
Little Glimmer experiences have a retreaty feel. Every class is designed to help you step out of your everyday rush and into a space of renewal.
Expanded Perspectives
I create space for those little sparks of wisdom to emerge naturally—through stories, moments of connection, or insights that land just when you need them most. These are the "little glimmers" that can shift your entire day.
Curated with Love
Each class is thoughtfully planned and curated as a complete experience. You'll find contemplation, breath work, fun flows, relaxing restorative practice, and meditation woven together.
No Pressure, Just Presence
You won't find intimidating arm balances or headstands here. Little Glimmer is about meeting your body exactly where it is today, with playful, grounding practices that nurture rather than challenge your ego.
Sneak in Regular Rejuvenation
I believe everyone deserves regular retreaty time, so Little Glimmer makes it easy to sneak it in: weekly rejuvenation with Flow to Restore, Sunday mini retreats, and travel retreats.
A Supportive Space Where You Belong
Whether you're stepping onto your mat for the first time or returning after a long break, Little Glimmer celebrates curiosity over perfection. Your unique journey is honoured.
My Journey
Hello, I'm Em (Emily Cook), founder of Little Glimmer, based in North Freo.
Like so many students, I began yoga for a functional reason. I wanted to strengthen my strained back and heard yoga could help. Little did I know I would love how yoga can affect the mind, body, and soul. I completed my Yoga Teacher Training in 2022 at Tamara Yoga. I am forever grateful to Tamara Graham of Tamara Yoga for making yoga philosophy wisdom and asana techniques so relatable and often fun.
I mix my qualifications as a certified yoga instructor and long-time experience designer to craft playful, thoughtful yoga experiences. My flows aim to stretch us in all directions, with variety and the odd playful challenge. I want us to feel centred and playful at the same time—grace and gusto. My aim is to help you find a little glimmer in your everyday.
I completed my 350-hour Yoga Teacher Training in the ISHTA lineage at Tamara Yoga in 2022-23 and am an accredited Menopause Yoga teacher, having trained with Petra Coveney. I specialise in perimenopause yoga and am passionate about sharing techniques to help women navigate this life stage with confidence and community. I'm continually learning to improve and enrich the yoga experiences I create.
Whether you're stepping onto your mat for the first time or returning after a long break, you belong here.
