Teaching Philosophy:

I strive to include all students fully in each class and teach from where they are. Through yoga philosophy and sequencing I endeavour to take each student on their own individual journey of discovery and healing, to open their bodies and their minds and to help them find peace in each breath along the way. I am discovering my authentic teaching self which presents itself in a number of diverse ways from humour to philosophy and everything in between.

Feedback from Clients: Taken from my website www.halfmoonyoga.org

Gabrielle is a wonderful Yoga teacher. Her classes are motivating and uplifting. I always leave feeling lighter and relaxed. I have noticed increased flexibility and general health and well being! I highly 5***** recommend!

__________________________________________________________________________Calm thoughts, relaxed breathing, mind power and a great core strength. I have done many sports over the years and if I was asked to recommend one thing, it would be Yoga with Gabrielle. Anyone can do it, all you have to do is start!

No matter how I feel when I arrive at the Boatshed on a Monday night- I ALWAYS feel so much better when I leave there. This class manages to reduce stress, increase flexibility and push my mind and body in directions that I didn’t think possible! I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
