Gemma Murphy Yoga

Gemma is an excellent yoga teacher with an incredibly calm and soothing style. She always provides various options for poses to enable people of all levels to fully participate in her classes. I'm also incredibly grateful that she's been willing and able to continue her classes online through the lockdown (only for those who are already registered with her face to face class). This demonstrates her tenacity and passion to continue to provide a truly therapeutic, relaxing and yet energising experience at a time when it's most needed.

I have just completed a block of 6 yoga classes with Gemma and I’ve loved them! They’ve worked so well over Zoom because of Gemma’s professionalism and how well prepared she is. I love how each set of 6 sessions has a particular focus - this one was on stiff neck and shoulders - perfect when bent over a laptop during the rest of the week! It’s also great value if you block book because you get the recordings too. Gemma is very encouraging, supportive and goes at a great pace - giving a wide variety of options for adaptations according to experience/injury/flexibility. I’ve noticed progress in myself in just 6 weeks and definitely hope to do more in the future!

Gemma is a fantastic instructor. I went to her classes a total novice - and the most non stretchy person ever ! I found the classes very enjoyable and beneficial, Gemma doesn’t push you to do anything your body isn’t comfortable with and to find your own limitations. I went to her classes in Clifton and it was a small, lovely class with all different abilities and experience. I would highly recommend Gemma Murphy Yoga to anyone - beginner or experienced 😊

I joined Gemma's classes when she started the ones in Houlton and look forward to them every week. Gemma always makes everyone feel comfortable by encouraging you to practice within your own ability and doesn't push you at all. I find the classes so beneficial for my wellbeing and would absolutely recommend Gemma's classes to anyone considering taking up Yoga or wanting to find someone new to develop their Yoga practice with ☺️

I look forward to Gemma's yoga class every week. If I'm feeling tired that morning, I feel invigorated and ready to start the day, if stressed, it calms me - amazing! Gemma has a friendly, gentle approach and encourages us all individually to get the most from the session within our own capabilities. Thank you Gemma!

Gemma is a very warm and welcoming teacher who is great at guiding you through the flow, giving different levels of each poses to meet your abilities and desire to challenge yourself. I love how each block of classes link to a theme, and I can feel my improvement in the flow each week.

I have been attending Gemma’s class for just over a year, I really look forward to Tuesday evenings class. I love that there is no pressure, Gemma encourages me to go as far as I can, each week that gets a little further, and I leave feeling so calm. Thank you 🙏

I stopped doing yoga for about a year before starting Gemma’s classes and I am so glad to have started again. Gemma has a really good energy and she explains exactly what and why you are doing something in the practice. Love my Friday morning routine now!
