Gabriella accidentally found the practice. A fierce advocate that Yoga was NOT for her, she first stepped into a Yoga Asana class in New Orleans, Louisiana in December 2014. She left her first class having absolutely hated it and swore she wouldn't go back. The next day, she felt lighter both in body, but especially in mind. She decided to give it one more try. Then she went back a third day, a fourth day, a fifth day... and suddenly she had gone to classes 9 days straight. The quiet her mind found in that classroom was something she previously would not have thought possible. The next year would go by in that same fashion, with an almost constant, daily Yoga Asana practice.

 

8 months after walking into that classroom, she moved to Vietnam to expand her Photography portfolio. Prior to moving to Ho Chi MInh City, she had only ever attended Bikram classes. Vietnam forced her into an entirely new style of movement, thankfully. She now practices many stlyes, but her favorite is Anusara and traditional Hatha.

 

2 years into her practice, she attended her first of 3 teacher trainings in Northern India (Rishikesh). The more she learned, the more she realized how little she actually know.
