NAMASTE

Jemimah is my full name but call me Jem.

My first intense teacher training began with a month in a Sivananda ashram located in Madurai, Southern India in early 2011. This immersion in the traditional practice of Sivananda Yoga and experiencing the authentic and often blissful ashram life was the catalyst of what is now a lifelong journey in teaching and submerging myself in all things yoga. I have since gained my 500hr RYT certificate in Hatha Yoga with Moksha Intl and many more hours in Vinyasa Flow and Yin style teachings.

As I continue this growing yoga journey on and off the mat, I love to share what I have learnt and implemented in my life. I offer down to earth, heartfelt, accessible classes to anyone that wants to explore this life long expedition of growth. I focus on mindful movements, balancing strength and ease through the powerful guidance of breath and while silencing the mind. I invite you to bring in your light and childlike play to unleash your deepest most vibrant potential.

I strive to create a loving space that welcomes all walks of life to explore their own unique possibilities. Together, through yoga, we muster up all that we learn from one another to shine our collective brightness out into the world.

Come and join us!

Testimonials

Jem thank you! I saw you twice and loved it. I will be coming back because the way you teach doesn't make me feel like I need to be experienced or embarrassed that I am doing something wrong. I enjoy the music you play too. I am truly relaxed, renewed and energy recharged after your class. And the crèche is very handy. 10*

Thank you! You must be one of Woodcroft's best kept secrets. Such a no fuss, personalized approach to your classes, that gives so much to your yogis. Your Yin class is perfect for those whom want to get moving again. Thanks again!

Your classes are incredible! Everyone from every skill level feels comfortable and supported in their practice. I always feel so relaxed and calm when I finish your class, all the stresses of my day are gone

I love Jem's classes. She gives excellent options to modify and extend postures and I normally get a 'take home' thought to chew on after class that is something she has talked to in class. She is a real Jem!

Needed to start doing Yoga after a sedentary work life and for flexibility for other hobbies. I was very hesitant going into class being a male but Jem put all my fears to rest. She is a very knowledgeable teacher, she makes class fun and has a very calming, supportive tone of voice. I'm very glad I started my Yoga journey with Jem and I'll continue to keep on coming back. Male or female, I highly recommend coming to a class. Thanks Jem!

Jem is one of the very best yoga teachers I've met (in the UK, Spain, USA as well as Oz). She's a pocket guru and has as beneficial effect on the mind as on the body. Her Yin class saved me last year when I had a badly sprained ankle and plenty of other sore body parts.

I've attended Yoga classes all over the world for the past 20+ years, and Jem really is one of the best instructors I've had.

Jem is a fantastic teacher. She is supportive and encouraging and provides feedback to improve your poses and strengthen your practice. The Yin classes are relaxing and a great stretch for tight muscles and limbs. A highlight of my week and always leaves me feeling refreshed and shining from the inside.
