About the lead instructor:
Gabriel has been practicing yoga since 2003. He was born in Vancouver. He was brought to a beginner hot yoga class one morning by a friend and he loved it! The sweat, the intensity, and the energizing fulfillment hooked him. He began a regular hatha yoga practice immediately to heal reoccurring sports related injuries. Quickly, he realized the power of the practice as a tool for health and well being. He has since left his marketing role and become a full-time yoga teacher at a thriving Vancouver studio.
