Yoga

Yoga is an art of living that refines and integrates body, mind and soul. Developing a yoga practise is a fundamental gift to oneself, adopting a committed attitude to working the body and mind with awareness, letting go of old restrictions in the body, becoming more aware of self and being open to positive change.

Benefits

The health benefits of yoga practise can be improved posture, increased flexibilty, stability of the central nervous system and maintaining overall wellness in the body.
The mental and emotional benefits can be increased self awareness, responding more skilfully to stresses of life through a steadier centre, developing compasssion for ourselves and others.The personal benefits to a regular yoga practise can be far-reaching and unique to each individual, but often we can feel more connected, more alive and more able to flow with the rhythms of life.

They explore simple and more complex asanas. Classes are open to all levels, although complete beginners may benefit from a series of one to one classes to gain a better foundation.

Testimonials

"Gabrielle is an inspiring yoga teacher. Among her many strengths are a great attention to the detail of postures, and an alertness to the varying levels of ability of those attending her classes. One leaves feeling both relaxed and energised"
-  David

‘’I discovered Scaravelli Inspired Hatha Yoga through Gabrielle and it has become my favorite yoga practice since. Having only done yoga for short stints in the past, I am completely hooked this time and am convinced this is in large measure due to Gabrielle’s approach; she has a warm, calm and reassuring manner about her that immediately puts one at ease and helps to set ones mind free to completely absorb oneself in the yoga practice.
Thanks to her hands on observations, bringing attention to the subtleties of yoga and how a small correction to a position can make all the difference, I am learning to tune into my body on a much deeper and knowing way. She has a unique, personal style true to herself expressed through her softly spoken words, vocalizations and visualizations that make yoga with Gabrielle so special.’’  
- Tessa

 

"I enjoy yoga much more with Gabrielle. She is a fantastic yoga teacher. She knows what she is doing and pays attention to each student in her class, truly wants you to experience the asanas and get the full benefits of them.
I have learned a lot from Gabrielle and improved my yoga - practice with her. I recommend her classes to everybody."  
- Inna

“It is such a lovely yoga class! Gabrielle has a warm and calm manner which makes for a lovely atmosphere. Although the some of the positions can be challenging somehow Gabrielle is able to get you into those positions. Having that space to do deep breathing exercises is relaxing and certainly helps with letting go the stresses of the day.  I always feel so much better after yoga and relaxed for the week ahead. " 
-  Jemma

"As my job prevents me making it to regular yoga classes, I bit the bullet and decided to try private classes and haven't looked back. After Gabrielle's classes I feel refreshed, relaxed, stronger and taller, and I feel like I am re-learning how to use my body properly- A good investment ! The combination of Gabrielle's approach and the one-on-one/ 2-on-one attention has changed my practice and inspired me to do more myself too."
