Hi, hello.

My name is Gabrielle, but you can call me Gabby (she/her). I’m a researcher, writer, and certified yoga teacher based in Los Angeles. I hold Bachelor’s degrees in Philosophy and Theatre from Seattle University and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Yoga Studies with a concentration in Yoga Therapy (C-IAYT) at Loyola Marymount University.

In my teaching, I weave together presence, playfulness, and compassion to create spaces for transformation and genuine care. I invite students to experience yoga as a living, breathing practice and tradition, one that extends far beyond the mat. Through breath-centered movement and mindfulness, I guide students back to their bodies, the Earth, and the quiet wisdom that lives within. My approach begins with the understanding that we are all already whole, with nothing to fix and no one to become. Neti, neti: be. A heartfelt, sustained yoga practice clears the air so that we might remember that wholeness.

Rooted in both study and lived experience, my research centers on grief care and somatic support, exploring how the body expresses and digests loss. Out of this work emerged Digesting Grief: Yoga Therapy & Bereavement, a program that honors grief not as something to overcome, but as a sacred, embodied process to be met with tenderness and reverence.

You can find me guiding classical haṭha yoga and offering mindfulness teachings in unexpected places: from care homes, university meetings, and machine parts factories to playgrounds and dance floors. As a yoga therapist in training, I share evidence-based practices alongside ancient wisdom to nurture whole-person health while deepening the connection between body, mind, and heart.
