Gabby Douglas
Yoga is Gabby's anchor, grounding her and fostering connection with herself and the world. Each practice session brings her back to a wellspring of love, compassion, and gratitude, providing clarity and strength to both her body and mind.
Her teaching focus extends to the benefits and alignment of each pose, injury prevention, mindful breathing, and gentle adjustments for longevity in practice. Delving into the spiritual dimensions of yoga, she imparts wisdom on various levels.
Since 1999, Gabby has been immersed in the practice of yoga, with teaching becoming a part of her journey since 2008. Her meditation journey began in 2003, evolving into teaching in 2010. Certified in Vajra Yoga and Meditation (200 hours) with Jill Satterfield and later earning her 500-hour certification through Indra’s Grace Yoga in 2017,
Gabby draws from Hatha, Iyengar, Vajra, and Restorative Yoga lineages. She has shared her expertise through classes and retreats from Arizona, Vermont, Costa Rica to Mexico.
Gabby's exploration of holistic healing extends to Reiki, starting in 2006 with certifications up to Reiki 4. Since 2009, she has been guiding others through Reiki sessions, promoting stress release, pain relief, and trauma healing while enhancing overall well-being.
Her journey into yoga began as a remedy for the physical and mental strains from her seventeen-year career as a hairstylist. Intrigued by the fusion of movement and breath, reminiscent of ballet, Gabby found solace in yoga. She studied ballet, jazz and tap dancing from ages 4-14. Yoga helped her alleviate pain but also inspired her to become a full-time instructor, aiming to assist others on their healing journeys.
Beyond the mat, Gabby has a deep-rooted passion for music, playing live and writing/recording songs for decades. She has toured extensively, finding joy in the positive energy exchanged with band members and audiences.
Grateful for the opportunities and experiences to tour much of the US and parts of Europe.
Gabby continues her inner work, contributing to a world in need of love and healing through her ongoing journey of learning, growth, mindfulness and expanded consciousness
