Gigi’s yoga journey

Yoga helped me to improve my relationship with food and body image. I experienced disordered eating throughout my teens and early twenties. I am now passionate about sharing my yoga toolbox to help others on their journeys, preventing eating disorders, and supporting recovery.

Gigi has a History of Art and Spanish degree, she spent time working as a school teacher in Madrid before moving back to the UK to begin her career in the corporate art world. During this time, she completed her 200 Hr YTT with YogaHaven in London (2021). She soon left her full-time job and began to immerse herself in the holistic world, seeking ways to learn more about the relationship between yoga and eating disorders. She has since studied with great teachers, including Veda Ela, Alexa Dean and Norman Blair.

Gigi teaches Hatha, Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga style classes. She creates a nurturing and safe space inviting her students to explore a deeper sense of connection with themselves. Gigi welcomes practitioners of all levels and encourages them to honour and appreciate their bodies on any given day.

She is an advocate for wellbeing in her local community and making Yoga more inclusive; holding workshops and volunteering at a domestic abuse shelter. Gigi teaches Yoga and psycho-education courses for non-profit organisation, Eat Breathe Thrive, founded on yoga for eating disorders, and she works as the operations manager for this non-profit.

Gigi has a Health Coaching Diploma with the College of Naturopathic Medicine and is trained in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage. When she is not sharing or practising these modalities, you can find Gigi hanging out with her son Albie, baking nutritious treats, swimming in the wild, reading non-fiction, and finding constant inspiration through art and nature.
