Classes are a blend of pranayama (breath-work), asana (poses) and dhyana (meditation) to achieve inner peace and harmony in the mind, body & soul. 

Classes are open to all ages, shapes and fitness-levels.  We can give modifications and assistance depending on your fitness or yoga experience so wherever you're at in your yoga-journey you can enjoy flowing together.

GWY yoga focus on classical hatha yoga as well as the Eight Limbs of Patanjali Yoga, sometimes referred to as Raja yoga, which provide guidance on how to life a purposeful and meaningful life, as well as incorporating Bhakti yoga principles, which is a devotional pathway or spiritual practice.

Yin yoga is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, where poses are held from between a minute to five or ten minutes in order to allow deep connective tissues like the joints, fascia and ligaments to release. Because of this the practice is deeply meditative.

The poses are predominately seated or lying down.

Nourish & Nurture Yin is the GWY style of yin yoga. It focuses on the traditional practice of yin by working on meridan pathways and their associated paired organs but Gemma also weaves in meditation, breathwork, and Qi Gong practices.

A gently paced 90 minute class to bring balance to the mind and body. Expect gentle postures, breathing practice, adjustments and meditation. 

A great introduction to yoga for beginners and those returning to yoga after a break.
