OM, Namaste, an introduction to me, Gemma. I am currently a travelling Yogi and teacher, spending my time between Riverheart in Spain, Bali and England with the occasional stopover in India, my spiritual home.

After qualifying from Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, as a Hatha Yoga teacher, I took my teaching and continued to practice across Asia where I taught anyone who was interested. Continually inspired through their positive feedback, I took positions teaching in Vietnam, Bali then back in the UK. I teach on an individual and group basis. Since then I have completed various meditation courses and am currently focusing on the study of yin yoga.

My Hatha teaching style is classic and restorative in nature. It is slow and effective in its purpose to promote long term health benefits and overall wellbeing. You will leave each session balanced, focused, relaxed and open to the possibilities that lie ahead for you.  With a belief in empowering my students, I ensure that you are provided with the tools to continue your practice outside of class.
With a background in working with children and ensuring the playful element of my life is satisfied, I took the offer of working as the Co-ordinator of the Children and Family Area at the World Yoga Festival, Reading, England. Here I launched my Yoga business Gotra Yoga. Gotra promotes togetherness through Yoga, play and creativity. Gotra Yoga also supports charity events for disadvantaged children. Fund raising for children’s charities, whilst promoting Yoga as a route to a healthier life is an aspect of business close to my heart.

I lead a Yogic lifestyle and to suit this I started to adapt many areas of my life. I now use only plant based products in diet and health care. Fortunately, this shift came naturally to me. I found myself collecting oils and herbs and started making effective concoctions to heal mental and physical ailments. Living in this way has inspired others, as such my oil blends have been used to heal many people now. I offer personal consultations on ailments and advise on Yoga sequences to practice in conjunction with use of an oil personally blended for you, by me.
OM Shanti
