About Me.
Certified, multilingual Yoga Instructor with years teaching experience. Specialization in Hatha with a deep knowledge of meditation and breathing techniques. I enjoy providing a Yoga practice that is customized to individual students’ needs and skill levels, and incorporates a mix of wellness practices: yoga, meditation, breathing techniques, and mindfulness. Additional experience and extensive education in traditional Thai Massage technique and Qi Gong.
My Purpose
My teacher Pichet would always tell us.
Go with the heart. Go with the heart-!!
Despite many years of different practices when I arrived at his teaching center I realized I still didn’t fully comprehend what it meant to feel and go with the heart. He opened that door to help stop keeping my practice so much in my body or letting my head create a non stop helicopter of thoughts but to connect all the dots through the heart.
Mind. Body. Heart. Creating a language to talk to each other
When I read “In love of the World” from Rinpoche Yongey Mingyur I realized my meditation practice should also be much simpler and less “driven” than it was.
Christopher Wallesh from Tantrika helped me to recognize that we’re all pretty much perfect as we are and don’t need to change as much as we think, or are told to think. Douglas Brooks remind me of the constant invitation that is offered to connect, to ourself, to others.
Tara Brach helped me to embrace myself with total acceptance. Rosemary Wallace confirm me that the most strong healing instrument is the honest deep listening and last but not least Marissa Newel invite me to connect with the infinite forces that live in this universe and are available for us.
This embodiment is a unique book to read and a unique book to write. When you think you figure it out, life showes that everything is constantly rewritten, so the inner work is constant.
It's not a one-time job. Our inner nature requires gentle loving care like an interior garden-, it needs the elements to grow and flourish WATER, SUN, LOVE, PEACE of MIND.
I'm not here to tell anyone how to do things, I'm not here to fix anyone... I'm merely here to support your self process, share the wisdom I have gleaned on the road of life... share my practice, and offer some practical tools on how to take care of our gardens together.
LOVE ...
GABI.
