Testimonies:

*Gemma is not only a natural gifted yoga teacher but also one who is very in tune with her pupils and their abilities. She has a graceful fluid movement style and a calm approach to teaching which immediately puts you at ease and makes you feel both comfortable and secure in your practise. She has a wonderful way of conveying each session, for example setting out at the start as to what equipment we may need, what area of the body we may be focussing on, coupled with clear instructions and demonstrations around what movements we will be making.. Every session ends too soon . I would therefore have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Gemma to those who are looking for an empathetic, professional and intuitive qualified yoga teacher.*

Ruth

*Never having tried yoga before, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I started. The way Gemma leads her sessions made it accessible and enjoyable right from the first session. She explains clearly and gives options that might work for different people, body types, and experience levels. Some sessions have focused on different parts of the body and it has felt really good to focus my awareness on areas that have been neglected – I particularly enjoyed the work we did on feet. Gemma strikes a great balance with enough repetition to learn and improve but plenty of variety to keep things interesting. I always come away feeling relaxed and refreshed. Thank you*

REST

Heather Mclaughlin

A beautiful, restful practise, with exploration of the body’s web of connective tissue and the emotions we hold within it. There was plenty of time to sit in stillness and ponder these thoughts/emotions, alongside intuitive, embodied movement. 

Gemma Drake

A really beautifully held class. The perfect way to end a week. Deeply slow, restorative, inwards looking. Gemma is a beautiful facilitator and holder of space, brings a lovely lense/ frameing on Tapa. Thank you :)

Erin Kelly

Gemma creates such a soft and welcoming environment. A glorious way to unwind after a busy week. The decompression we all deeply need.
