Hi, hello.

My name is Gabrielle, but you can call me Gabby (she/her). I am a certified yoga teacher, arts educator, researcher, and writer based in Los Angeles. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Theatre and Philosophy at Seattle University and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Yoga Studies with a concentration in Yoga Therapy (C-IAYT) at Loyola Marymount University. I work at the intersection of arts and education, exploring the art of embodiment.

In my classes, students use their awareness to arrive at presence while discovering how yoga can live with them beyond their time on the mat. My dharma is to provide care and guidance through grief. From my own personal experiences with loss, I was inspired to develop “Digesting Grief: Yoga Therapy & Bereavement,” a yoga therapy program that addresses the embodied experience of grief with the embodied practice of yoga.

I can often be found providing mindfulness practices and the wisdom of yoga in unexpected, in-between places: during lunch time at residential care homes and machine parts factories, for kids at recess time, and even for strangers gathering for a dance party on a decommissioned helipad! As a yoga therapist in training, I look forward to providing clients with evidence-based yoga interventions that support physical, mental, emotional, and energetic healing while strengthening the body-mind-heart connection.
