Meet Gemma!

With a PhD in Dance, Gemma began her movement journey in the field of Hip Hop. She has 15 years of experience working in the performing arts industry, both in the UK and across the globe. Trained primarily in commercial Hip Hop styles. Gemma has dedicated her career to using dance, movement and creativity to empower children and young people. Gemma will join the Satya Sanctuary Team offering Family Yoga, Chair Yoga, Chair Fitness and DanceFit!

Gemma is currently embarking on her 200hrs Yoga Teacher Training with Elements as well as undertaking personal sessions with Nitya Devi in the Krishnamacharya tradition. Nitya Devi was trained by the first female yogi, Indra Devi and Gemma now joins this lineage.

Whilst Gemma has always believed that dance helps people to unlock the secrets of themselves, gain confidence and find their own place in the world, yoga is now Gemma’s self-confessed “happy place”. She hopes that, through her practice, she can help people of all ages find peace in an increasingly anxious world.
