“Such fantastic sessions with Gemma. A lovely relaxed atmosphere. No pressure no expectation. Gemma has such a lovely warm and gentle way about her, she has a way of putting you totally at ease, and then gives really clear and concise instructions. I have really enjoyed getting back to yoga. Just the right mix of exercise and relaxation.”

Gemma goes above and beyond in EVERYTHING she delivers!! Her soothing voice in meditations or trainings will calmly guide you into practice and stay mindful. Her cues and way she teaches movement is serene yet leads and empowers you. Her wellness trainings and FB group too is a treasure chest!
I participated in her January live meditation challenge masterclasses as well, and it was not just a live meditation. It was a thorough approach to educating, empowering, and enlightening the mind and soul into taking control of our wellbeing. Incredible background, resources, models, tools, and guidance equipping me to make 2022 my best year yet.
Rowan Gibbons
I have very much enjoyed Gemma’s yoga classes and would recommend them to anyone. I love that she uses such a wide variety of postures and routines and she explains why they are beneficial which is really helpful.
The themes Gemma has discussed in classes have been really calming in such an uncertain time and I’ve felt my stresses melt away after an hour on the mat with Gemma. The classes are also such a reasonable price and well worth the investment for your well-being.
Robert Forster
For someone who has wanted to take part in yoga for a few years but always felt a bit awkward joining a session at the gym, I took the plunge and did a session with Gemma!
Really glad I did as I thought it was a brilliant session taught by a fantastic instructor. It really has shown that lads can participate in yoga as well which really does help stretch out the muscles after a hard session in the gym. Definitely worth a try 10/10!

Fabienne Stewart-Jones
I’ve never done yoga before and have always found it intimidating and thought I wouldn’t be able to relate to the content of the classes. But I’m loving it. It’s something I look forward to & I can really feel its positive effects on both my mental health & physical health. Big thank you for leading us and for your lovely calming voice.
