Promoting nourishment of the mind body and spirit is my life’s work and purpose. My gift is honoring the divine being within each individual by encouraging them to recognize their own inner light and unique authenticity through daily self-care techniques and practices.

Gina walks the talk

It's only been recently that I started attending yoga classes and I couldn't have been luckier to come across Gina. Her classes are as genuine as she is. You can tell she breathes deep down every given word she shares. She makes me feel encouraged to try new asanas and new thoughts both during her classes and outside the practice room. She strives for peace and peace I find when I go to her classes. She helps me make sense of the moves I make and the things I think. I am not an early bird and I definetely don't know what it is but I keep setting up my alarm clock at 6 am to make it to her classes!! Gina's classes are such a wonderful way of starting off my day! Thanks for being so genuine and accepting Gina! You make a difference.

Paula, this was such a heartfelt description of how my classes affect you in your life. I am truly honored , and I appreciate you making my class a priority in your day especially if you're not an early bird!
I have a passion for yoga ; as you can see, it more than the poses .... Keep coming back!

Namaste'

Teaching from the heart

Gina's class is one I always make time for. She is generous and fun to practice with. Lots of smiles, inside and out, and some surprises.

A True Gift to Life!

Gina brings the whole practice to her classes; Mind, Body and Spirit!
Having experienced many teachers and forms, Gina is the best at teaching, nurturing and encompassing the whole practice in an hour long class that I have encountered.
For two years now, I have looked forward to the GIFT of her class and always leave feeling more grounded, rooted, relaxed, empowered and heart centered.
Thanks Gina for the gift you are too me!

Gina is the real thing. She has turned a class at an athletic center into a spiritual community while providing flexibility, physical fitness, and good humor.
