Jivamukti and Yin Yoga – An Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher and E-RYT 500, Giselle’s introduction to yoga in the early 90’s was a natural progression from her gymnastics/dance background, her passion for music and being raised by a bohemian flamenco dancer; all of which have influenced her style and approach to teaching and life. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Giselle presents at yoga studios, conferences and festivals around the world. She’s also been on the cover of Yoga Journal and Yoga International Magazine as well as appearing in many of their articles. She’s also featured in Kathryn Budig’s book “Women’s Health: The Big Book of Yoga”. She’s an ambassador for Gaiam, a columnist for Origin Magazine, serves on the advisory committee for The Art of Yoga Project and is a teacher on YogaGlo. When not teaching, she loves being with her amazing husband, daughter, and four dogs all of who are her biggest inspirations and support.
“It is such an honor to be an ambassador for Yoga Gives Back. I’m grateful to have this opportunity to be in service, to uplift the lives of women and children and to do so through the art form of yoga. Yoga Gives Back is the embodiment of what it means to practice yoga in action. Through our collective actions and intentions we can support the dreams and aspirations of women and children in India while also creating an equal rights imperative. Through micro credit programs, vocational training and educational assistance we create necessary social change as well as a ripple effect of inspired and empowered action for generations to come.”
