My logo for Gemma Murphy Yoga

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.

How Does Yoga Enhance Your Athletic Performance?

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.

Crow Pose: Are Ready to Take Flight?

Crow Pose, or Bakasana in Sanskrit, holds a special place in my heart—it was one of the first arm balances I learnt.

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.

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.”
