about gemma

i AM A YOGA TEACHER, SOUND THERAPIST and movement practitioner, CURRENTLY BASED IN BICESTER.

I TEACH creative AND CONSIDERED flows, THAT weave together elements of mindfulness and embodied movement to help people build intelligent awareness within their bodies and move in a way that feels free and empowering.

Classes are set to a backdrop of beats that lift you up, then softly drop you back in a blissful, meditative state.

It is MY hope that by holding space that is inclusive, non-judgmental and nourishing, you will uncover a little piece of yourself each time you step on the mat and feel like you’re coming back home to you.

my journey

I discovered yoga at the start of my professional career, and found it an essential escapism to the ‘work faster, do more’ narrative.

It felt like such a breath of fresh air to do something that wasn’t centred around image, pressure or burnout. Each practice always left me with a profound feeling of inner calm and connection that I was able to carry out into the world.

Now, movement and sound are a form of daily medicine that help me navigate the ups and downs of being human.

I care deeply about sharing these learnings with others and believe that whatever brings you to your mat, this truly is a magical practice that everyone can take something from.
