They passed!!! ✨ I'm so proud of these incredible yoga teachers-to-be. This weekend they stepped up to teach their assessment classes — showing up with courage, heart, and so much support for one another.

Between them they completed 16 hours of asana this weekend… absolute yogi warriors! 💪🪷

But the biggest practice wasn’t just physical — it was moving through nerves, self-doubt, and the fear of being seen… and doing it anyway.

Next up: lesson plans, our April training weekend (hands-on assists, partner yoga fun, and the business of yoga) and our closing ceremony celebrations.

If you feel called to deepen your practice and share yoga with others, a few spaces remain for September’s 200hr Yoga Teacher Training.

Send me a message if you’d like to explore whether it’s right for you. 🙏🏻

5 Things Every New Yoga Teacher Needs to Hear

Newly qualified? Doubting yourself?
This is for you.

1. Imposter syndrome is normal.
Almost every yoga teacher has felt it. Comparison is an illusion. You’re simply sharing what you’ve learned and what you love.

2. You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need emotional mastery or samadhi. You just need to share the practices that support you.

3. The right students will find you now.
Not when you’re “better.” Now. They’ll grow with you.

4. Your classes will grow as you grow.
Stay consistent. Stay connected to your why. Trust the unfolding.

5. Breathe.
You don’t need to fill every silence. Count the breath. Create space. Regulate yourself — and the room will follow.

If you’re at the beginning of your teaching journey…
You are not behind.
You are becoming.

✨️ Tag a teacher who needs this reminder. ✨️

Save this for the days the doubt creeps in.

Teaching their mock assessment classes this weekend on our yoga teacher training… and what a powerful, heart-opening experience it’s been.

We’ve been moving through the layers—overcoming limiting beliefs, softening imposter syndrome, and meeting the fear of standing at the front of the room. Gently releasing the samskaras that have been holding us back.

Showing up for hours of asana together, supporting one another, cheering each other on.

Purifying, strengthening, and awakening both body and mind.

We even rose early for an energising Ashtanga practice this morning.

So proud of these incredible souls for showing up for their growth and courageously stepping forward to share yoga in their own unique way. 🌟

If you feel the call to deepen your journey, there are still a few spaces left on our next Yoga Teacher Training starting this September. 🙏

Yoga teacher training, 5 weeks post-birth — what a gift.

This weekend reminded me just how blessed I am to do the work I do.
Deep gratitude for this incredible female body… and pure awe for all it carries, births, heals, and becomes.
Grateful for gym sessions supporting my pregnancy journey that's allowing a smooth recovery. 

Even though I was holding the learning container for this beautiful group of yogis… they held me.
I felt so deeply supported.
Soup and tea appeared as I marked lesson plans at lunch. 🤍
Thank .yogawithalice — your steady, loving support as a teaching assistant, stepping in when my body couldn’t demo or be fully present, has meant more than I can say.
And the thoughtful gifts from the group for Finley… my heart. 🥹

This weekend we explored fascia, arm balances, inversions, backbends, sadhana, and our own ancestral spiritual lineages.

The laughter, the chatter, the growing ease and connection each month across this 8-month journey makes my heart smile.
It felt like coming home.

And then… returning to my little family, waiting with open arms and cuddles.
So much gratitude. So much love.

✨ A few spaces remain for this year’s 200hr Foundational Yoga Teacher Training.

New Gem Yoga Training Venue at Gather Studio Devon

Sometimes life quietly rearranges things for us — and something even more aligned appears.

Over Christmas, as I moved through early motherhood, the venue for our upcoming 300hr Yoga Teacher Training shifted unexpectedly. What followed was a gentle invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and trust what wanted to unfold next.

I’m so happy to share that our training will now be held at , a beautiful oak-framed barn near Totnes — held by land, warmth, wide skies and community. From the moment I connected with this space, it felt like a true yes.

This feels like a new relationship, a new collaboration, and a container that will support us to go deep — into practice, learning, rest and connection.

Cosy, grounded, nature-held… and exactly the energy this journey deserves.

I can’t wait to welcome you into this space and step into the next chapter of the 300hr advanced yoga teacher training.

Trusting the flow — always.

As we reach the end of this year, I’ve been reflecting on what a truly magical chapter 2025 has been…

✨ We bought our first home - a sanctury in beautiful nature
✨ We travelled - from rustic cabins to tents to retreat locations
✨ I became a six-figure business owner
✨ I became pregnant
✨ I turned 40

But....this year hasn’t been magical because of these societal milestones.

This year has been magical because I chose to show up.
To expand in consciousness.
To stay curious.
To grow.

To explore another trip around the sun on this wild, wonderful planet… simply by being.

And now, I’m entering my next life chapter…
Motherhood.
Perhaps the biggest adventure of my life so far!

I am so deeply grateful for every message, every moment of support, every connection with this incredible community — both online and in person. Thank you for holding me through such a transformative year.

As winter arrives, I’ll be taking some gentle time off to nest, rest, and soak in the sweetness of my new little family.

Wishing you a beautiful, cosy, nourishing festive season.

You can now buy my advanced asana breakdown workshop for just £47! For teachers and students.

A deep-dive into advanced postures for teachers ready to refine technique, build strength, and teach with confidence — and for yogis wanting to expand their practice with intention and awareness.

Inside this course, you’ll find 10 detailed, workshop-style sessions covering:

✨ Inversions (Headstand, Forearm Balance, Handstand)
✨ Arm balances (Crow + variations)
✨ Deep backbends (King Pigeon)
✨ Strength + mobility prep
✨ Step-by-step alignment & safe progressions

Each workshop blends breakdown + prep + drills + variations, supporting you to understand the mechanics of each posture while learning how to teach — or practise — them safely, intelligently, and with integrity.

This journey will support you to:

- Build strength in key areas
- Improve balance, stability, and body awareness
- Understand the why behind alignment
- Step confidently into teaching more advanced postures
- Progress your own practice with clarity and intention

If you’re ready to deepen your physical practice, elevate your teaching, and feel more grounded and confident in advanced asanas — this course was created to support your evolution.

"Gem’s teachings leave me feeling much stronger than I think I am, and I’ve discovered that asana offer ways to access the self beyond simply physical, but energetic and mental as well.” - Alice

“Gemma has incredible knowledge but also years of experience, which shines through in her teaching." - Lucy-Ann

02/12/2025

If you’re a yoga teacher wanting to welcome in more abundance this Christmas—but you’re noticing reduced classes, cancelled bookings, and students rushing off to festive parties—take a deep breath.

✨ Here are 5 aligned ways to support your business, your community, and your energy this season ✨

1. Offer gift vouchers
Private 1:1s, class bundles, or a personalised sequence package make beautiful wellbeing gifts.
Remember: your prices reflect your training, experience, prep and planning. Honour your worth.

2. Create Christmas + January offers
A discounted 1:1 package, bring-a-friend classes, or a themed January mini-program.
Festive season = imbalance for many. Your offerings help students stay centred + grounded.

3. Seasonal offerings
Winter invites rest + reflection. Align with that energy:
Candlelit yin, yoga nidra evenings, themed workshops, day retreats or full winter retreats.

4. Permission to rest + plan
You’re allowed to restore and use this time to dream + create.
December (and August) can naturally be lower-income months. In the past I would take the whole of August and December off. I used them for rest and to birth retreats, courses and ideas that carried my business forward.
Rest fuels creativity. Creativity fuels abundance.

5. Nourish your community
Strengthen your sangha with a coffee meet-up, festive class + dinner, or a year-end circle.
When students feel supported, they stay committed—to their practice and to you.

What resonates most for you?
Feeling inspired to take action? ✨
