Workshops:

"Gabriella my deepest gratitude to you for such a wholeheartedly wonderful session. I loved it!!!! I feel fantastic today. Deeply nourished and cleansed from the inside out. I feel so liberated, flexible both emotionally and physically and really revived. The music, the teaching and your support. So healing and inspiring. Thank you thank you! " ~ Robin

"I attended Gabriella's The Dance of Yoga workshop last Saturday and found an energetically clean and loving space to work in which is very important to me. It was a pleasure to stretch and also to move freely with the forms, all my inner organs felt massaged and liberated. Indeed it was a liberating time, as I felt many cares and burdens released throughout the workshop. I sometimes forget just how important it is to move our bodies with respect and love, as I am always busy moving my body for practical reasons and running around completing chores. 

So it was a time to move my body in response to the rhythms it desired, in response to my heart and by doing this, I was brought deeply into my centre (whilst working up a sweat!) and this facilitated the releases and healing I needed. I highly recommend Gabriella's workshop as she works from the heart, is very intuitive and supportive with forms throughout the workshop to help with any physical challenges we have." ~ Ananda

"I wanted to thank you again for your workshop, Gabriella. I enjoyed it so much and have been thinking about it ever since. It was such a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I found your teaching really inspirational and loved the energy and warmth you brought to the class. Thank you." ~ Victoria

"Thank you Gabriella. It felt like I spent 2.5 hours in the sunshine! You have such a beautiful voice and I can't wait for the next workshop" ~Rachel

"A great experience. A deeply nurturing and mindful yoga practice, with special emphasis on the right breathing and mindfulness. I felt like the sequence of movements was especially good and well thought out. I found it easier than usual to focus on the breathing and do exactly what felt right for me at that moment. At the end of the workshop I felt very much at ease, grounded and peaceful, and my body felt great too. No more stiff neck, back or legs! The guided meditation and healing sound bath in the end was also very beautiful and a wonderful way to end the workshop. Would definitely recommend it." ~Anni "Thank you for the wonderful workshop, Gabriella. I really enjoyed the peace and tranquility!" ~Ilka "Thank you for the really enjoyable workshop.

Classes:

"I feel so light! Thank you for the wonderful class. It helped me to feel comfortable and spacious within my own body and to remember where I end and the rest of the world begins." ~ Portia "The Dance of Yoga' is a stunning class taught by a creative and infectiously enthusiastic teacher who advocates 'yoga from within'. As a relatively experienced yogi, I found the focus on conscious breathing, body awareness and fluid movement into asanas unique and satisfying. At the same time, these sessions are not without challenge; they are also personalised well so that practitioners at all levels can improve their balance and control of postures." ~ Rosemary, "During Gabriella's yoga class i felt like that my own body was giving me a massage!" ~ Nandini "I was dancing through the whole class. The next day my body felt much more open than after any other yoga class. " ~ Alex, "Oil to my body! :-)" ~Barbara "I was going to have a massage today. But now after your class, Gabriella, my body is so open and feels so good that I don't need it. :-) " ~ Sam "I suffer from fibromyalgia but i hope i can make it to your class, as i feel it is doing a world of good to me!" ~ Ana, "We love it. At your classes we have a chance to go deeper and discover what our weak points are." ~ Billie "We all liked it. Time flies when you enjoy yourself." ~ Dorothy  

My integrated practice of “The Dance of Yoga” was born through the process of a natural evolution. My varied and colourful experiences through yoga, dance and energy healing started to teach me and guide me how to deeply listen within. I was so amazed and enthusiastic about the teaching that i heard through my inner voice, that i happily trusted the divine wisdom that flowed through my heart and my whole being. Simply because it felt so right and resonated with me so clearly.

What i always loved about my personal yoga practice was how it made me feel. Definitely better! And so much more. It was the time for intimate calm and being in the constant flow of my breath, which allowed me the time and the space to feel myself from head to toe. I felt safe, nurtured and comforted by sensing that the space around me and in me was filled with positivity, lightness, peace, joy, and inspiration. I also experienced a new sense of openness around me that penetrated my skin.

Practising at fast paced yoga classes, not having enough time to feel what i was doing, forgetting to breathe in the midst of rigorous instructions by the teachers. All of these were constantly pulling me out of my inner world and were stopping me from enjoying my own yoga experience, although these were telling me a profound truth. Slowing down and Feeling our yoga practice is essential to enjoy the benefits of yoga. When i practice this way, a random 5 minutes can do its magic. I learnt that feeling our yoga practice opens the door for sensing yoga beyond; experiencing our subtle bodies and the infinite source of energy that surrounds us. The more we are in touch with our energetic bodies, the more healing is being offered to us. I see this as the most essential value of yoga.

I love the empowerment that our practice can offer us by simply learning to enjoy our practice in the first place. When our focus is on being in touch with how we feel in each moment, we develop a deep sense of listening within. We are constantly in tune with our deep energetic wisdom which creates a heightened sense of awareness to move our bodies in the safest way possible by respecting what feels right and what does not. We learn to nurture our bodies and to enjoy the slow, deep and flowing movements that shows us how to find effortlessness and lightness in our practice.

At “The Dance of Yoga” workshops I teach you how to go within and constantly encourage you and guide you to express your practice from the Inside Out. The conscious and varied use of our breath offers us a powerful tool to find our inner core connection and learn how to support it with our breath. By learning and understanding “full body breathing”, we learn to feel with our whole body. By harmoniously merging your body, breath and movement, you will increase the sensitivity, spaciousness and fluidity in your body and your mind. As your body starts to open and readily receive the pranic energy, your practice becomes a meditation. With a new sense of heightened awareness and openness, we explore creative approaches to meditation including mudras, visualisation, sound healing and affirmations that resonate with our own being. At the end of each practice you will leave feeling nurtured and recharged from head to toe.
