I work hard but relax harder and it’s the best feeling. I booked onto the retreat to get a real break from things. I chose to put my phone away but the classes, food, walks and place we stayed in just took me away from normal life and I came back feeling brand new. I loved it and would 100% go again and recommend it to anyone at any level of yoga. It’s just a chance to take a break in a caring and supported environment with delicious food.

Gemma introduced me to yoga two years ago and in that time I have definitely become stronger and more flexible. She has a clever way of including all abilities in a session which can sometimes mean being challenged but you always leave the class feeling positive. Her music is great too!

Her lessons flow and offer challenge so it feels like a real work out, as well as offering the time focus on well-being. I have noticed the results and cannot recommend her classes more highly - they’re amazing!

I’m deeply grateful for the transformative 200-hour yoga training at Empowered Yoga School. The expert guidance, blending the physical and spiritual has left me feeling both physically and emotionally nourished. The curriculum was well-structured and I was always encouraged to be authentic to myself and embrace my unique style as a teacher. Gemma and Tom have a wealth of knowledge and experience; their insightful wisdom continues to inspire me. Fast forward 3 years and I can’t imagine life without teaching yoga.

I highly recommend Gemma. She has such a calm and caring personality. She is highly knowledgeable and delivers a high quality sport massage in a relaxing environment. I always feel great afterwards.

Over the past two years, Gemma has established a strong and supportive community around her weekly yoga sessions. She offers clear and encouraging instructions and is an inspiring teacher. I genuinely look forward to our weekly class.
