Gabi, originally from Ecuador, first started practicing yoga as a way to release stress while in law school. Before she knew it, yoga dissolved layers of conditioning and gave her the courage to abandon a life that wasn’t fit for her and the clarity to follow her true desires. It is then that she realized her true calling to be teaching, it started out with languages and now yoga!

​

After practicing consistently for a few years, Gabi began seeking a more traditional yoga practice hoping to fill her need for ritual and spirituality. This is when she found Ashtanga and knew it was exactly what she had been looking for all along. Being a teacher at heart, Gabriela completed her second 200hr teacher training under the guidance of Melanie Fawer, one of the few lineage holder's of the tradition, and has been teaching Ashtanga since. Gabriela is constantly in awe by the positive changes which are brought about by her daily practice. She has an incredible amount of love and respect for the Ashtanga yoga method and hopes to guide her students  towards internal growth and transformation by sharing this ancient tradition.

Gabi has also been an acrobatic yoga (acro) practitioner for over four years and is eager to share her knowledge in her beginner's acro course. Acro has been an incredible way for her to build community and connect with others and she hopes to instill these values in her student's.
