A MUM has set up her own yoga studio in the garage of her family home in Paddington.

Gemma Linaker opened Lemonstem Yoga in the converted garage of her home on Constable Square earlier this month.

The private studio will focus on one-on-one sessions and Hatha yoga classes for a maximum of five students at a time.

Mum-of-one Gemma has practised yoga for seven years and has 14 years’ experience teaching holistic and wellbeing therapies.

She said: "When my little boy was one I decided I wanted to start teaching yoga.

"We had a spare garage at the side of the house and I thought it would make a perfect private yoga studio.

"It has a lovely feel to it with a lot of sunlight coming in and it's very spacious.

"This is my first business, so it's quite exciting and I can fit it in around my little boy.

"Now it's all up and running and it's going really well."
