About Gabriella
With over ten years of teaching experience and a background as a former dancer, Gabriella has long been fascinated by the body's capacity for movement, continually deepening her understanding of its potential.
Her movement practice is grounded in spinal integrity, muscular strength, and an informed awareness of the nervous system, while always embracing creativity, curiosity, and musicality in every movement. This rhythmic, intuitive approach intertwines beautifully with her pregnancy yoga teaching, supporting the changing body with intelligence, fluidity, and care.
Gabriella is passionate about cultivating a meaningful dialogue with the body, guiding students through transformative journeys with intention and presence. Drawing on her love of music, she seamlessly weaves rhythm and flow into her classes, creating experiences that are graceful, intelligent, and challenging—yet always accessible and enjoyable. Her teaching offers both mental and physical therapy, leaving students feeling empowered, supported, and deeply rejuvenated.

What Students Say
"I was introduced to Gabriella's yoga class by a friend. I tried the first session and I was sold — I love her class, it's different to other classes I've tried. Love the constant flow; by the end of the session you feel like you've had a full body and mind workout. She is a great teacher."
Pressa
"I'm so pleased I found Gabriella's Space & Flow yoga class — a yoga class that I genuinely enjoy! The studio space, music and dance-like practice is just the perfect combination for me. Gabriella has such a natural teaching style and deep understanding of her practice that you really do feel like you're being guided through each movement whilst still finding your own rhythm and movement."
Katrina
"Gabriella's Space & Flow Yoga classes are magical - they are a sort of dance through yoga moves, set to great music. You walk away feeling strong, grounded and uplifted. Gabriella is a knowledgeable and reactive teacher, adapting postures for when needed. I started Gabriella's classes about a year after giving birth and they made me feel connected to my body again, and gave me a sense of confidence and appreciation for my physical body and space for my mind. They brought me back to myself."
