Gabriel's Yoga journey started in 2021 while attending a retreat in Costa Rica. He immediately connected, got the call to become a student of Yoga and life, and eventually went on to share these teachings with his community. After teaching at multiple studios and being inspired by Bre and Flo, Gabriel decided to further his studies in Peru where he attended the Breathe and Flow Yoga Academy in 2023. It was there where he honed his skills in breathwork, mediation, and developed more of his style with the tools he was given. To him, Yoga is much more than just a physical practice. It is the embodiment of spirit, a celebration of life, and a call to what he named the "Warrior's Path". It is an opportunity to show up for ourselves, so we can show up and be present for this gift of life. With an emphasis on functional movement and breath as the guide, Gabriel's approach to Vinyasa is strong yet mindful. He takes great care in designing sequences that honor the natural movement pattern of the human anatomy, with every transition being intentional from start to finish. With this approach, his goal as a teacher is to encourage students to create harmony within that leads to having a harmonious life. By remembering our true essence, we can trust, and tune into the inner wisdom that has always been there, knowing that we are always guided on the Warrior's Path.
