Through her trainings and years of teaching, Gabby has developed an intuitive sense for supporting the growth of her students. She understands the importance of self discipline paired with playfulness, and encourages her students to push beyond self-imposed limitations. While the physical portion of her class is energetic, Gabby's teaching is driven by the purpose of Yoga - connection to the True Self. Her students can expect to be inspired mentally and physically, but to be balanced with a meditative environment and deep relaxation. Ahimsa, non-harming, is at the heart of Gabby's teaching.

Estephanie Garcia
RYT200
Hi, my name is Estephanie, I have been practicing yoga for fifteen years and decided to dedicate my life journey to it. I believe in the power of movement with meditation and what it does to your soul and body. As a yoga student, I can tell you what you do on the mat trickles down to what and how you treat yourself and others in your everyday life. I was trying to find self-love and inner peace when I first discovered it. Through many asanas and breathwork, and I can tell you I am there, even though it is still an ongoing process. As a yoga teacher, I want to be a guide on how to control your mind in difficult situations while still being at peace with yourself.
