Many of you will be familiar with this face, really, she needs no introduction, but our instructor of the month for November is Emma!
Throughout November, you can take one of Emma’s classes for free with the code EMMANOV - more details on this will be on the website shortly! In the meantime, let’s get to know Emma a little better!
