Quite simply, I care about feeling good...
...wellness means something different to all of us and I don’t believe there’s a one-size fits all solution for everyone.
I do, however, believe that yoga can be a powerful and accessible tool helping to guide people to a mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy place. ​
on a continuous quest for large-scale healing.
I am a mother, yoga teacher, performing artist, and someone who has struggled with mental health.
In other words, I'm someone trying to navigate their feelings, relationships, purpose, and desires, like you.
I am deeply passionate about wellness; not a performative, ‘toxic-positivity' version of wellness but a messy journey, overcoming personal mountains, therapy-going, course-correcting type of wellness.
As cliche as it sounds, finding yoga nudged me onto a healing path. After delving deep into my own practice and experiencing greater ease, it seemed the most logical thing to share yoga with others.
​
For me, yoga is an act of love.

In 2018 I embarked on my 200-hour teacher training journey in Rishikesh, India. Since then, I have been finding ways to expand and enrich my offerings through different courses & workshops in the areas that speak to me.

Classes
Whether you're seeking an energising, dynamic flow or a deep, restful softening, yoga classes are centered around developing the 'felt' sense of the body. On a mindful level, themes and ideas are woven into the class as we move AND in the precious moments of stillness.
​
At Pincroft Yoga, asana classes last an hour; That's about 45 minutes of movement, allowing for 10-15 minutes of savasana to close the class.
​
For those looking to develop their practice further and add to their wellness toolkit, courses run for 6 weeks in 45-minute sessions.
Facilities
Classes take place in a private garden studio, nestled in the heart of New Barn, Kent. Well insulated for the winter months and double doors open for those hotter days. Feel free to bring your own mats and props however, Pincroft Yoga studio provides top-quality mats, bolsters, and blocks by Yoga Studio Store UK.
WHERE
Getting here...
From New Barn Road, turn onto 'Fairlight Cross leading to Pincroft Wood.' There are several cul-de-sacs named Pincroft Wood; you are looking for the second Pincroft Wood on your right.
​
Please park along the road adjacent to Pincroft Wood, remaining mindful to not block people's driveways.
The studio is in my garden which can be accessed from a side gate to the right of the house. You will follow the gravel pathway around the back of the house where you will see the studio.

Kind Words...
"Gemma is a fantastic instructor. She is very caring and carefully structures the class for mixed abilities.
I am totally relaxed after each session and have learned the benefits of relaxation and breathing techniques."
HAYLEY
"Gemma is an outstanding yoga teacher, I have been to a number of classes across London and I'm still yet to experience a class like this.
After each class, I always feel a sense of rejuvenation and self-care."
