About
Gisele came to the United States from Canada in 2010 with her husband to explore new opportunities. Previously, Gisele was a French teacher and continues to infuse her passion for yoga with her love of teaching. She is a certified yoga teacher through the 200 hour training at Yoga Works in New York City. After discovering the benefits of Restorative Yoga, Gisele was inspired to delve more deeply with trainings for this soothing and nurturing practice which promotes healing on all levels- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. She has completed intensive Restorative Yoga trainings in Toronto and New York City. Gisele is also a certified Reiki Master and through an energetic and intuitive approach, she guides her students with healthy breathing, proper body alignment and balancing energy flow. Her compassion, creativity, sensitivity and deep commitment to this healing practice has created her personal mantra "Give Yourself Permission to do Less Instead of More". Gisele sees her Restorative Yoga practice as an integral part of her life, and this has sparked her passion for sharing this gift of healing with others. She is now traveling to share her passion of offering various workshops, day retreats, weekend retreats and Restore-With-Yoga trainings to anyone who is interested in learning about the deeper layers of healing and importance of self-care. She is convinced that it is impossible to outgrow this relaxing practice because it reveals more to you every time you practice.
