About Me - the Ultimate Journey of Self-discovery
Welcome to my GabyYoga page
Namaste! After a long journey of self-discovery, I founded GabyYoga. I first met and discovered yoga in London where I practiced with different teachers for eight years. In early 2018, I travelled to India to attend my first yoga teacher training. In early 2019 and 2020, I travelled to India again for a few months, and eventually obtained my International Yoga Teaching Certificate. This experience greatly increased my interest and curiosity in Eastern philosophy, Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, and proper nutrition. Therefore, I have decided to dedicate myself to these learnings, thus helping to understand the maintenance and restoration of health both for myself and for anyone who wants to keep and maintain a healthy body - mind - spirit.
I hope my favorite quotes can help those interested in Yoga to understand the true meaning, philosophy and message of Yoga:
The whole body must be symmetrical. Yoga is symmetry. " -/Patanjali Rishi/
"As we practice asana, we learn the art of proper posture."-/B.K.S.Iyengar/
"Let's focus on the increasingly straight spine. The job of the spine is to keep the brain alert."-/B.K.S. Iyengar/
"Health is like river water, constant movement always keeps it fresh and clean."-/B.K.S.Iyengar/
"Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food!" - said Hippocrates more than 2,000 years ago.
My yoga classes
Ashtanga Yoga
Hatha Yoga
Pranayama
Ashtanga yoga is a practical system of eight parts, a traditional system of consecutive positions,
which we practice in a certain order. Therapeutic positions within the sequence do not change, so this yoga allows us to turn our attention inward over time, making the practice a fluid meditation in movement.

Hatha Yoga is the energy of the Sun and Moon.
Meaning: Ha- Sun; Tha- Hold;
The Sun is the Yang, the fiery male aspect - our right side, and the Moon is our Yin- left side, the cool female aspect that we all have.
The Yang is related to the Pingala nadi and the right nostril, the Yin is related to the Ida nadi and the left nostril.
We need to balance these internal forces to bring our energy to the center and allow it to flow freely.
By practicing Pranayama , we learn to control our breath. "Prana" in Sanskrit means "vital energy" or "life force"; On finer levels, prana represents the prana energy responsible for life or the power of life, and "ayama" means control. So Pranayama is controlling our breath- "Breath Control."
