Gabrielle is dedicated and enjoys teaching and learning about yoga. At first learning is at the intellectual level. When we put what we have learned into practice, we have experiences- these experiences represent knowledge; through knowledge we obtain wisdom. The intention in teaching students is to facilitate the experience of practicing yoga into something meaningful, insightful, and attainable.
