“Gemma really does ensure you have the most amazing experience on her retreats, they are a breath of fresh air, she ensures the yoga is accessible for all and every detail of the day is done to perfection. I will always find the time to attend Gemma’s retreats as they are truly magical.”

“I went to Gemma’s Wild & Rooted Day Retreat and can’t recommend it enough! It’s such a relaxing day and helps you to really unwind. Such great value with yoga, beautiful lunch & woodland walk then relaxing in the outdoor hot tubs with the immersive Sound Bath to end the day. I went by myself and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Truly lovely day.”
– Claire
“Just wanted to say a very big thank you for a very pleasant, extremely relaxing day yesterday. It all worked so well and I loved every minute. You made me feel so welcome, included and cared for. The atmosphere you engendered was absolutely fantastic. The yoga was excellent, as were the snacks, the lunch, the walk and the bathing. Wow to the sound bathing too so thanks to Gabi too. A truly remarkable day. I slept very well last night!”
