Gaby
Gaby has been practicing yoga and Meditation since 1993 and took the first teacher training in 1999 in Iyengar Yoga with Arun HS, shortly followed with teacher training in Vinyasa flow yoga with Shiva Rea in 2004. Since then Gaby has continued to regularly attend courses and workshops with many yoga luminaries and Meditation teachers to deepen the learning and refine understanding of the path of Yoga.
Between 2015 and 2019 Gaby specialised in the study of Taoist Yoga (Yin & Yang Yoga) with 500 hours of further teacher training in California with Paul and Suzee Grilley. Yin Yoga, with its gentle and mindful qualities has become the mother of all other approaches to yoga and it has taken Gaby deep into the roots of Yoga as a teacher and as a practitioner.
Gaby teaches Yoga and Meditation from an anatomical and functional approach that enables all practitioners to enjoy the benefits of yoga asana by guiding them into deeply engaging with the reality of their own skeletal contours and the subtle and healing movements of the myofascial tissues. When your yoga asana is effective and deep your Meditation practice is facilitated. In other words, Gaby uses conscious movement practices, breath work and meditation to help people overcome stress and trauma and find a sense of grounding and wellbeing.
