My curiosity and awe when it comes to yoga seems not to have limits! Living in Miami l am being exposed to an extraordinary variety of yoga classes, styles, teachers.. But none of it seems to be quite the same as Gabi’s class.. There are many aspects of her class that distinguish her from the rest and l will name here just a few that l personally resonate with the most:
- Unconventional movement: Her class is all about being in sync with yourself in the most unique way. She emphasizes freedom of the movement and encourages self expression which l truly makes every class such a particular experience
- The intimacy: Her class always feel very personal. She manages to connect with each of her students in a very particular way. Listening to her guidance through out the class always makes me feel like l am being the only person she talks to and l think that is pretty rare!
- The atmosphere: I usually take her evening class. She always sets up the room, dims the light and plays mellow music so that you feel like all of your sense are being stimulated and something very special is about the happen!
How do you feel during the practice?
- During this class l got to know a different realm of yoga - a practice that still has a certain rigidness and formality but here it only serves as a support to my own interpretation of each movement or pose. It might sound strange - but yoga can be sexy! Gabi explores many angles of practice and let us express any emotion or state we might currently be in.
- If l had to choose a word to describe how l feel during her practice it would probably be Free!
How do you feel after you leave?
- Usually her practice puts me in this mellow state of total content! I am a walk away from her studio and in that time while l am going back home l usually like to recall certain poses and relate them to the emotions evoked. Afterwards l feel very loosen up and tranquil. Probably that “afterwards feeling’ is the only constant when it comes to her classes. As l said - it is always such unique and particular experience.
