Gabriella
she/her

" am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship."

-Louisa May Alcott

Originally from St. Louis, MO, Gabriella moved to Durham in 2023 to pursue her PhD in Chemistry at Duke University. Shortly after her move, she joined Midtown Yoga in search of community and an opportunity to deepen the yoga and mindfulness practice she first developed during undergrad. Yoga has since become an integral part of her life, grounding her physically, mentally, and spiritually. Gabriella completed Midtown Yoga's 200-hour teacher training program in 2026. As both a teacher and a student, she believes that embracing variations and modifications is a reflection of intuition and strength.

Gabriella strives to create empowering, accessible sequences that support and inspire every individual in the room, regardless of where they are in their practice and in life. When she’s not in the studio or working in the lab, you can find Gabriella reading at a local coffee shop, cycling on a bike that goes nowhere, or spending quality time with her family, friends, and her cat Josie.
