I’m excited to share my new logo. A big thank you to those who helped me come up with this design!
I wanted a logo that reflects the journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and inner peace that we all experience through yoga. The central figure in a meditative pose represents our individual paths toward personal growth, reminding us of the strength we cultivate through our practice.
Yesterday, I attended a “Yoga for Athletes” training course with Anthea Sweet as part of my professional development, and it provided some fantastic insights into how yoga can benefit athletes.
Working with athletes is an interesting blend of art and science. The art lies in understanding their mindset, motivations, and how they approach their sport, while the science involves recognising their movement patterns, the specific demands of their sport, and the environments they compete in.
With the rain pouring outside, there was no better way to spend a Sunday morning than with relaxing yoga sessions in the beautiful Mulberry Homes Showhome in Houlton, Rugby. The stunning Showhome provided a tranquil setting for unwinding, finding flexibility and inner peace.
After our together, we gathered together to enjoy delicious, freshly-made smoothies and pastry treats. I really enjoyed getting to know some more of the local residents in Houlton. A big thank you to Mulberry Homes for hosting such a memorable event!
I remember the excitement (and slight fear) of lifting my feet off the ground and experiencing the sensation of balance for the first time. It’s a pose that combines strength, flexibility, and focus, and with patience and consistent practice, Crow Pose is a challenge you might like to have a go at too.
Want to feel strong, confident, and energised? Then you might want to try Astavakrasana, or the Eight-Angled Pose! This yoga pose is not only fun to practice but also has a story behind it.
Astavakrasana, or the Eight-Angled Pose, is a yoga posture steeped in rich mythology and offering great physical benefits. Named after the sage Astavakra, who was born with eight crooked limbs due to a curse, the pose is a testament to overcoming adversity and finding strength within.
It’s not always easy to commit to a weekly yoga class.

Testimonials: Hear what some of my students say about their experience in my classes:
Ashleigh: “My favourite yoga teacher! I’ve been attending Gemma’s Flow and Chill classes for nearly a year. It really helps me to relax and switch off. As well as the poses, Gemma explains the meaning behind what you’re doing and helps you to understand the mind/body connection. She is such a lovely, caring soul, and her classes are incredibly welcoming, I recommend for all levels.”
Vanessa: “I’ve been going to Gemma’s classes for nearly a year and I love them. The yoga is great, and I’m getting so much stronger! But it’s more than yoga, Gemma cares and makes you feel so welcome … each week I give myself this hour to reground and look after myself. It’s great!”
Angela: “I’ve been going to Gemma’s classes for nearly a year and they are fantastic. She puts great thought and care into her lessons. I always come away feeling energised, calmer and ready for the rest of the week! I would recommend her classes whether you’ve done lots of yoga or are just starting out. Gemma will make you feel welcome and guide you through, whatever your level.”
Carmen: “If I could give Gemma a 10* review, then I would. Gemma doesn’t just teach yoga, she offers us a beautiful, soulful experience, a sense of peacefulness, mental, and physical wellbeing. She’s a beautiful soul who demonstrates care for each and every one of her class attendees with such a warm welcome. Her yoga teaching is exceptional, and I always feel that I’ve entered into my happy place.”
