Gabrielle Schroeder Ebsary

Originally from Buffalo, NY (the city of good neighbors!) I have always been about connecting the community. I began my yoga journey 10 years ago with my first class with my now mother-in-law, who summoned me to her class as a way to cross-train for my running. I began taking classes at a hot power vinyasa studio a few years later and have loved the style ever since. Blending music with movement felt like being a kid in the dance studio again, being able to express in ways that words cannot match. The challenge that it gives the body from the combination of the heat and poses, alongside the mental and spiritual growth that happened every class, it became the perfect way to balance my body and mind. 

 

Even before becoming a yoga instructor, my goal has been to heal the body and mind in a more nontraditional way, closing the gap between western and eastern medicine. My journey now incorporates yoga asana, reiki, and nutrition into my teachings and lifestyle. My classes emphasize building power and strength by incorporating the whole body to focus on the big and little movements, that the transitions are just as important as the end pose. I am passionate about the transformation and awareness that can happen through movement and breath in a yoga class, and enjoy connecting with my students in each and every class!
