A sacred space to recharge, realign, and rise

A glimpse inside the 300hr YTT journey
Guided by Gem—Yoga Trainer, Mentor & Soul-Led Business Owner
My own yoga journey began more than two decades ago. Since then, it’s taken me across the world—from humble beginnings in local community halls to international retreats, festivals, and advanced mentorship containers. Along the way, I’ve learned that real mastery isn’t about perfecting postures—it’s about remembering who you are beneath it all.
That’s what I’m here to support you with.
This 300 hour training is an invitation to come home to yourself. To evolve not just as a teacher, but as a whole human being. You’ll be held, seen, and supported as you peel back the layers, refine your gifts, and reignite the reason you started this path in the first place.
It’s not always easy—but it is deeply rewarding. Together, we’ll journey through challenge, expansion, and transformation—so you can rise rooted, step into your highest expression, and share your medicine with the world.
Hey, I'm Gem!
