Peer Testimonials

"Gabriel is a brother in the true sense of the word. I have seen him as a student and a teacher of Yoga and can say without a doubt the depth of his understanding is authentic and true. His life is a shining example of what Yoga offers. He radiates clarity, health and vitality. He gives in the most generous ways through his wisdom of extensive study of Ashtanga Yoga, Yin Yoga and Thai Massage. He melts the three into a unique form of energy that connects you to your core. If you ever have an opportunity to be with him go for it and tell all your friends."

"I had the luck to meet Gabriel when he came to our studio 'Yoga Tree' for the first time in 2004 for a week of workshops, classes and massages. I really felt that it was more than a regular Yogi with us, his spirit was shinning and he had so much to give. We couldn't wait for him to come back, finally he did after 2 years, and now even more he made such and imprint in our hearts and the hearts of all the students that have received his teachings, his integrity, his knowledge, his enthusiasm, and his love which is beyond words, He is an example to many Yogis today, and a great inspiration to many students that are starting to walk the path, we are so happy that he is part of our world "inspiring teachers ".

"Gabriel is the result of much inner investigation, and the way he presents and communicates his teachings to the students is a work of art. He is able to offer Yin Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Thai massage and Meditation in such a way, that through his methods students are able to realize the core of who they are."

"Gabriel is a very inspiring and capable young man. He has attended my Mysore program as a student and substitute teacher from 2005 through 2006. Although he had a busy teaching schedule and lived quite a long distance from the yoga shala he was very regular, rarely missing a class. He practiced the same asanas daily not shortening or adding non-recommended poses. I tend to teach very traditional style and Gabriel though he is quite accomplished never questioned my style or tried to get me to let him practice in a different way. I found it a pleasure to have him in my classes."

"This year at Yoga Flow, the studio where I teach we decided to engage in a Yoga Teacher Training program. We at yoga flow were very happy to hear that Gabriel would join us in the training of the students. I attended most of his workshop on anatomy and physiology and the teachings were clear lucid and uplifting. It was never so technical that there was confusion and there was interesting student involvement. I believe he is headed to be a great spiritual guide and teacher. I would feel lucky and blessed to have him around me in any capacity."

—Stacy, Durham, North Carolina

"You have been a source of inspiration in my practice. So often men who practice yoga are so skinny, with little bulk muscles, and for someone like me, who is a body builder, it was never appealing. Watching your postures make me realize that it does not matter what size you are."
—Robert, Atlanta, Georgia

"I learned so much in this teacher training. Gabriel's knowledge is deep and inclusive. I was inspired by his ability to connect such old concepts and make them accessible to my life. I feel like there is so much to learn, so much more beyond just the poses I was doing."
—Tracy, Atlanta, Georgia

"I am going to miss your classes, Gabriel. You made me laugh, pushed me to go further than i would have done on my own. I hope you come back soon."
—Deep, Bangkok, Thailand
