Gillian teaches classes in her studio in Belton, a village near Doncaster in South Yorkshire. Her teaching style incorporates Hatha Yoga with flows and yin and she encourages her students to feel their poses rather than the focusing on the aesthetics of the pose. Gillian emphasises how each individual student can respect and tune in to their own unique body. She explains how poses are performed and likes her students to be comfortably challenged. Turning your mind inwards during yoga can help you identify any areas of the body that feel tight. Gillian emphasises the fact that all bodies are unique and students should respect their own limitations, breathing into these areas to help release tension.

She encourages her students to take yoga off their mats and into their daily lives, focusing on Buddhist principles.
