Life moves fast. We’re constantly connected, juggling work, family, and an endless to-do list.
Now, imagine stillness. The ground beneath you, steady and supportive. No notifications, no urgent demands—just you, your breath, and the present moment.
Yoga offers this pause. Rooted in ancient wisdom yet fully alive in the here and now, it invites you to move with intention, find clarity in stillness, and rediscover balance in both body and mind.
Whether it’s the dynamic energy of Vinyasa or the deep surrender of Yin, my classes blend tradition with a modern touch—creating an experience that feels both grounding and empowering.
Hello, I’m Gemma. I’m a British Wheel of Yoga qualified teacher in Rugby, Warwickshire. I lead Vinyasa and Yin yoga classes designed for busy individuals looking to move, breathe, and reconnect with themselves.
I believe yoga is more than just movement; it’s a practice that bridges ancient teachings with modern life. In my classes, you’ll find a thoughtful blend of yogic philosophy, inspiring themes, and storytelling—woven seamlessly with accessible movement and breathwork. Timeless teachings are honoured alongside fresh perspectives, and Sanskrit finds its place among everyday wisdom.
Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening your practice, my aim is to make yoga both meaningful and approachable. It’s not about achieving the ‘perfect’ pose—it’s about how you feel. It’s about honouring your body, enjoying the process, and carrying that sense of ease beyond the mat.
If you’re looking for yoga in Rugby, why not join me for a session? Expect classes that leave you feeling refreshed, empowered, and ready to take on life with a renewed sense of energy and presence.
Gemma is a fantastic teacher! The classes are brilliant, all focused on working towards a different concept of yoga. You can definitely enjoy and progress in Gemma’s classes whatever your level or previous experience. Gemma is so knowledgeable as a teacher and if you wish, she can adjust your body during the class to help progress. Well needed every week. It’s perfect for self care. Highly recommend!

I have just completed a block of classes with Gemma and I’ve loved them! I love how each set of 6 sessions has a particular focus – this one was on stiff neck and shoulders – perfect when bent over a laptop during the rest of the week! Gemma is very encouraging, supportive and goes at a great pace – giving a wide variety of options for adaptations according to experience/injury/flexibility. I’ve noticed progress in myself in just 6 weeks and definitely hope to do more in the future!

Gemma is an exceptionally kind, patient, experienced and knowledgeable yoga teacher. Her practice leaves me feeling, calm, refreshed, energised and supported. I feel exceptionally lucky to be able to share my yoga journey with her and I would thoroughly recommend her classes for novices through to experienced yogis alike.

Gemma’s yoga classes are wonderful. She’s a clearly experienced teacher that is very skilled and connected to her practice. She provides (if you choose) hands-on tweaks to your poses to make sure you get the most from your practice and shares poetry and wisdom that aids reflection.

I can highly recommend Gemma Murphy’s Yoga classes. She has a calming presence in her teaching method, encouraging you to really connect with your mind and body whilst pushing yourself to achieve new limits. It is a lovely group that Gemma tailors to suit all abilities. As a total beginner I didn’t feel ‘behind’ in any way as we were encouraged to take the class at our own pace. I would highly recommend this class.

Coming from a ten-year hiatus from yoga, I found Gemma to be the perfect teacher to ease me back into the practice. She’s clear and assertive with her instructions, creative and thoughtful in her lesson plans with guidance to helps students improve. I’ve enjoyed both Houlton classes and found myself learning a lot each week. It’s one of the things I most look forward to.

I wasn’t sure yoga was going to be my thing but I can honestly say Gemma’s classes are superb! I really look forward to my weekly flow. I always feel calm, free from distraction and rested. Gemma is patient, kind and an excellent teacher.

My partner and I have been attending Gemma’s Yoga sessions for the last few months. We were both beginners and absolutely love attending the classes together. Both of us struggle with back pain and the sessions have noticeably improved this, plus helping our flexibility and ability to switch off and relax (even just for an hour a week!) We would both highly recommend Gemma and look forward to continuing with her classes.
