Testimonials

Dear Gaby,
I want to thank you for a really amazing class yesterday. I can only describe what I felt like was an evolution of some sort, on some really deep level I never knew existed in me! During the dancing portion, it was all I could do not to break out in either a huge fit of laughter, or uncontrollable sobbing. All I know is SOMEthing shifted in me, and whatever it was felt cathartic. And….never in a million years could I have imagined me napping in a roomful of strangers!!! That says so much….

You are such a gifted teacher, and though I know little of Yoga, your class has affected me in a most positive, profound way. I will be in for one of your regular classes very soon. Thank you for your gift!

Gaby, your gifts are evident to me. I watch you and see you send quiet messages to people. You read people and feel things because of these gifts you possess. I am blessed to have you in my life right now - at this time. I believe you AND yoga have been sent to me for a reason. You have said things to me that astonish me - things that help me to "SEE" what is right in front of me. There are NO WORDS to describe my thanks to you and your beautiful presence in little Bethel. "Bethel" means "House of God" - but of course, you already knew that.

I am absolutely loving being in my new house. The whole experience has been great, I'm certain in part because of my yoga practice. The light and energy I enjoy within our community affects me every day. It is so much more rewarding to live a life full of positive thoughts. Even the "bad" things don't seem anywhere near the way they used to. I have more patience, more insight, and much of this is a direct response to the love and acceptance I get from Sat Nam. Thank you, so much for giving me such a gift. I am so enjoying Drema's classes. Our Friday group is much like a little family. We are so connected. Please know that you are often in my thoughts. Have wonderful Summer season.

Love to you,
Sue

Yoga is not just about stretching and postures, but is a technology that looks to bring a balance of our mental, physical and emotional bodies through the use of physical exercises, breathing and mediation. Your Yoga combines all three in every class."

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy you and all the instructors at the studio. I love when you set the intention of it being "the BEST YOGA CLASS EVER!"...Because it is always "the BEST YOGA CLASS EVER!"

Hi Gaby,
I always enjoy recieving my Sat Nam newsletter, but today I wanted to respond. Your thoughts on Forgivness were so moving and powerful that I wanted to say thank you. SO many people need to hear and believe what the power of forgiveness can give us and teach us. It is a great gift to be able to bestow on another, and a difficult, but life changing gift to give ourselves. This holiday season, I give thanks to you and Sat Nam for the lessons my practice has helped my to learn. All the best to you, love

I've been practicing my "finger yoga" and am so grateful that you passed it on when you did. That is of course all that I would expect of the universe and the synchronicity of all things. I've been using it and the ra ma da sa chant -I have the ultra slow version in my head.

Gaby I also have to say thankyou for 2 phrases that have been with me since.."No one else can clean you except yourself" and " Connect to the breath and the ocean inside" These have been bringing me back, more than once. Thankyou. Namaste' Namaste'

Dear Gaby,
Thank you for your kind words. It's reasuring to me that you see my spirit as still shining bright - I thought it had pretty well been extinguished this summer. I have such a high regard for your insight and perspective that I'm quite encouraged by your feedback.

I wanted to follow up to let you know that for two days after the workshop all sorts of anxieties kept bubbling up - stuff that I had been wrestling with and trying to "fight" and deal with for the past six months. It was very uncomfortable and at first I couldn't understand why I was being bombarded with things I thought I had moved past. But once I realized the feelings were coming from the work I had done on Sunday I was able to let the anxieties come and then let go, accept and let them dissolve. I have to say I feel better than I have for months.

Your classes have done an amazing job in pulling me out of my funk, changing my perspective and outlook. On top of that I have all those wonderful CD's I listen to every day - and I'm now reading "Lifting the Veil." Last but not least - I found myself working through the mudras tonight after class. I can just see myself trying to surrepticiously do the mudras on my flight to Ohio tomorrow, while listening to Ra Ma Da Sa on my Ipod.

I'm sure you know how much you mean to your students - and the community in general. But I wanted you to know how very much I appreciate having you as a teacher and that your joy of life and enthusiasm is inspirational.

See you next Saturday.

Regards,
Deborah

I felt such peace and tranquility after I left your class.
Thank you

Hi Gaby!
The workshop on Sunday was the BEST !!! I haven't stopped talking about it to all my friends at work! I truly feel like a NEW person inside (from the waist down...lol) I felt the need to open my hips, but that experience was far beyond my expectations I know I've told you this before, but I can't help but to say it again.... Sat Nam Yoga is truly a blessing in my life.

Thank you Gaby !!

Dearest Gaby--
Thank you, thank you, for your incredible gift of spirit and knowledge! Yesterday's session was absolute perfection.. I went to Mass last night which topped my spiritual day. I awoke this morning with a sense of calmness and ability to move through my day with great energy. I met up with a very dear man who knows me well and took me out on Candlewood Lake for the afternoon. He has a 'connection' with the spirit as well and we had a lovely conversation about our beliefs. Just an unbelievable weekend and EXACTLY what I needed to help me through for my Tuesday appt. Something inside me says something has changed ... but I have to say that I am cautiously optimistic...guess it's my protective nature.

Most of all, Gaby, thank you for the gift of you! Because of your incredibly divine spirit, you have created a 'safe' and heavenly place on earth. In addition to all the wellness and spirit filled devotion, I have met some very lovely people and feel a connection that is very powerful.

The good news is that I know that whatever lies ahead in my journey, I will be well because of the power of love...the faith I hold in God and a place called Sat Nam...

Peace & Joy,
Luci

Hi Gaby,

I have been deep into baseball season and away from the studio this past month, but not away in heart. I have had the great pleasure of taking Drema's Friday night class the past two weeks. She is an amazing teacher and the way you feel after taking her class is truly euphoric! I am grateful for your grace, joy and refuge in our sweet little city of Bethel.

Love,
Deb

Gaby--
Thank you again for an unbelievable weekend of yoga! As you know, I came into Saturday's practice with a wealth of things going on in my life which are both personal and professional. Your instruction and guidance on Saturday brought me to a personal place that allowed me peace and a much needed blissful Saturday afternoon nap...something I haven't done in quite awhile!

Tonight's session with Aline and Mark was also fabulous and snapped me back online to prepare me for the week ahead. Something I learned many years ago is that as much as it is important to give, it is just as important to find a way to fill ourselves back up. This I have found in my yoga practice with you and others that teach at Sat Nam.

THANK YOU for creating a studio that allows for the warmth, sharing and caring of others...I am humbled by the experience.

Namaste,
Luci

Gaby,

I have to tell you that the class was great, but I'm STILL sore in my abdominal oblique muscles. Seriously though, thanks for helping to clear the energy with your class. I've been moving through a lot and I really felt the energy open for me Thursday night.

All the Best,
Ed

Hi Gaby!

Having attended your Yoga class and read and practiced other spiritual truths. I had this overwhelming awareness after this incident of how we are truly and undeniably interconnected to others all the time. I guess I have "known" that in my head, but for the first time I understood it in my heart. That our actions, both positive and negative, small or large, have a very definite (and infinite)ripple effect that effects many, many lives. For some reason, I have had this truth strongly impressed on me. I also believe that you have been instrumental in my own healing and that has opened up my heart again to spiritual truths I need to know. Here come the tears again! I believe the positive energy of our prayers brought strength and support to this family.

Thank you again for the love, light and laughter of Sat Nam Yoga.
Peace and gratitude,

Kerry

Thanks again for sharing your wisdom and practice!

Hi Gaby

Just wanted to share my experience from class Thursday night. When I showed up I was in a really anxious mood, and had a harder time getting into class than usual, plus my shoulder was acting up. I don't know if it was chanting as much as we did, but by the end of class I had a tremendous emotional release. As soon as you said "Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti" at the very end of class, I just had to go cry for a little while. And then I felt much better! Whatever I had been holding in my tension sure came out.

Thanks again and take care

Thanks for the update. In my life it seems like nothing stays the same for too long so I am glad you are located close and have such a wide variety of classes, I can jump in on when most convenient. I have been to many studios and have never felt more comfortable or “at peace” with my surroundings or the people I am doing classes with instructors included. You and your instructors make me feel at home and comfortable with my skill level. Plus the sense of humor in the room is enlightenment in itself.

“yoga itself is great, but when you’re lead by a teacher that absolutely radiates (which is what happened in this class), yoga is amazing” - Jon Vroman

"Wow, I can't stop smiling thinking about you. Thank you Gaby for providing such a warm inviting environment for Yoga. It was an absolutely fantastic first time experience for me and I know it was because of you:o). My wife and I are thrilled to have the information you provided and are looking forward to further communications with you." -Don and Sue DuBois

Gaby's classes were excellent. They were a great mix of getting energised, at times really pushing to the limit, and just having fun! I was very impressed with the fact that everybody really enjoyed the yoga classes and got the most out of it, even though all participants had very different levels of fitness and experience with yoga. It was also great that the classes (and even the music) were all different, so that there was no chance of getting bored. And all that was presented every morning with a big smile at 7am; very impressive! Arjan Schimmel

Gaby your class was an awesome experience.  Your choice of movements and music took me to a new a different Yoga experience for me that I had not been exposed to before.  I’m sad that I can’t get this Yoga experience more often from you.  Thank you for the experience and I’ll keep looking for this type of Yoga in my area. 

Gaby's warmth, humor and gift of healing power are present as she teaches the awakening of the mind, body and spirit in her yoga classes.  She literally taught me an addiction I was pleased to have: the addiction of taking care of my mind, body and spirit through yoga.  What a way to wake up every day!  Thank you Gaby. Your absolutely lovely voice was wonderful to listen to as well.  You are a gift!  Thanks for sharing your abundance.  Candy H.

" I absolutely loved the yoga each morning, I always wanted to do yoga but never got around to it until you taught us. It was such an experience and I felt absolutely amazing after each session. Im now hooked and I do 5 yoga moves every morning, only takes me about 15 minutes but I feel great all day for it and each day I can see how I am getting stronger from it. Thanks again, Maria England
