​Hi, I’m Niedra Gabriel and it’s my absolute pleasure to work with people who want to upgrade their experience of life.
​
​As a perpetual student, my life has been devoted to studying a broad array of movement and wellness practices -- a constant and earnest quest for the blueprint to a healthy, optimal life. 


My personal story began at 5 years of age. I became aware of an intense inner vision that a state of being and way of expression existed that was “the real me”. I wanted to be liberated into “that”. Dance called - I answered. 
 
I spent my early years studying dance, driven by this vision and mostly unhappy as I found myself far from this state. I was physically uncoordinated, emotionally dysfunctional and withdrawn. I decided to train with a controversial russian teacher who challenged everything about how I was dealing with dance as a technique and art. She demanded of me a new way to orient to my body and use my emotions as a channel into my work. I stepped into these challenges and found my vision becoming a tangible organic state of being I could experience and express outwardly. I was on my way! Six months later with a lot of hard work I outwardly morphed into an exciting dancer. 
 
This was my first experience applying conscious practices and work as  tools to expose and empower an authentic Natural Moving state of being where I came face to face with the layers of myself. This was truth and I knew it.
 
My movement studies expanded into Pilates and Yoga. I was fortunate to study under some of the great masters: Romana Kryzanowska, for Pilates, B.K S Iyengar and Yogi Bhajan for Yoga. I also studied under many contemporary wonderful teachers in additional modalities: Ashtanga, Power Yoga, Bikram and Vinyasa flow.
 
I certified as a Pilates teacher with Romana Kryzanowska, protégé of Joseph Pilates and opened my own studio. I certified as a yoga teacher (Citi Yoga)  and Kundalini yoga under Yogi Bhajan. As I explored the depth of movement in all these modalities I found myself experiencing that same soul vision I searched for as a dancer,  the joy of technical mastery, potential beauty potential and power within my structure, and freedom of expression.
 
I was now teaching full time realizing my vision was a natural blue print that existed inside each person. Anyone could recognized it in themselves and if they got in touch with it had physical and emotional upgrades. They always wanted more.
 
Over the years, I continued expanding as a teacher, exploring health and wellness practices and pursuing studies and certifications that supported accessing and enhancing our authentic natural blueprint.
 
I am fascinated, driven and inspired by this vision as a motivation for realigning with our authentic state of being.
 
The inspiration of my life is now researching and developing protocols that I share with others through movement and lifestyle upgrades so they can be supported in living a healthy inspired expanding life.
