The strength of the sun within us

After years of working in non-profits, I realized there is a whole lot of unresolved trauma in the communities we service and eventually trickling to non-profit workers in the form of burnout and compassion fatigue. Having utilized the practice of yoga, Gabi has been able to quiet the alarms of C-PTSD into tunes of joy, love, and eagerness for life without the fear. Everyone deserves to navigate the world with a blissful joy and lightness. Conventional therapy methods such as talk therapy make great progress but at times we struggle to find the words to recall. Our bodies hold great wisdom and through a body mind practice such as yoga, we can begin to foster a dialogue and sense of safety within ourselves amidst our environments.

Meet gabi

Gabriela’s training as a yoga practitioner, somatic embodiment coach, and racial justice facilitator informs her wider scope of practice and experience in supporting trauma impacted individuals that is rare to find a trauma informed yoga practitioner. Applying a yoga practice from a de colonial and anti-oppression framework with the aim to uplift, empower, and support a diverse set of communities.

My mission is to make yoga more accessible as a healing modality for trauma survivors in non-clinical and clinical settings. As a former non-profit employee for the past 5 years, Gabi has advocated for system-impacted communities, survivors of domestic violence, more accessible food systems, land and community health rehabilitation.

Deepening further into trauma training, Gabi is trained on in a variety of somatic and mindfulness based modalities. Gabi’s energy has been described as “joyful, nurturing, compassionate, playful, and light.” Some have described my energy as a cartoon book character come to life.

Centering

Connecting to the body in the form in its current state acknowledging and fully accepting it. When we meet ourselves where we are at we cultivate a sense of trust and radical self-acceptance, the beginning step to radically self-love

Calming the loud ripples within caused by the external world. Life will a changing, learning how to move through and calm the inner and our nervous system when disruptions come about.

Centering in radical sense of self-love, compassion, and glimmers of freedom and hope. Through a trauma-informed practice, survivors are invited to explore their bodies exactly as they are. There is nothing more powerful than finding the safety and freedom within.

Hello!

What other beautiful souls have to say...

“I wish we had done more yoga flows because I was so tense during this conference, I looked forward to our daily yoga sessions because it was the only time I got to connect inwards. Thank you for being here and facilitating."

“I was diagnosed last year with cancer delaying my PhD program and I was surprised to see a Facebook message from Gabi after seeing my public GoFundMe post raising money for treatment. We attended a college course together but hadn’t talked for years. We met at a park a week before my 1st round of chemo and caught up on where life had taken us post-graduation. Sharing her personal healing journey, she offered a wealth of health information, all new to me. From nutritional guidance to breathwork and energy healing encouraging and easing my nerves going into treatment. I start my PhD program this winter, cancer-free.”

“Gabi’s way of introducing me into this style of yoga is the reason I am able to regain my physical, emotional, and mental strength to do my happy hobbies like cycling and roller-skating. Her regime has been helping me regain flexibility I had lost through years of multiple injuries especially in my lower extremities. Her patience and kindness allows for a deeper healing in my mind, body, and soul.”
