For Gabrielle, Inside Out Yoga
has become a space in which the creative process of her life unfolds.
One in which she shares the fruits of her personal growth and
collection of experiences and knowledge with those who choose to study
with her.
Gabrielle has learned and studied with a variety of teachers who have
introduced her to principles that form a strong foundation in the
expression of movement, and understanding of breath and meditation.
With this foundation in place, Gabrielle is able to safely explore many
aspects of yoga and yet include her ideas for encouraging exploration
and play within each practice.
Gabrielle holds a liberal arts degree from Radford University with a focus in religion, philosophy, and
communications. Gabrielle began her studies of yoga, breath, and
meditation in the early 1990’s. In 1993 she began her dedicated
studies with Kathleen Barratt at The Subtle Energy Institute in
Virginia Beach, VA.
She is recognized as an advanced teacher in facilitating Breathwork and
meditation with groups and individuals and continues her studies
through the Institute. She has also completed Basics through Level One
in Bio-Energy as taught by Margaret and Mietek Wirkus.
She is currently the Director of Inside Out Yoga Center and has a
strong private practice in Breathwork, spiritual mentoring and
meditation. Gabrielle also presents breathwork, meditation, and yoga in
various settings throughout the community and has co-taught a course
through Atlantic University in Virginia Beach, Va.
She has explored several systems of yoga which began in the early
nineties. She is grateful to have studied and continue to study with
many extraordinary teachers.

On A Personal Note
It is a passion for me to support others in seeking what they desire to
create in life and to discover what attitudes and beliefs are not in
alignment with that desire. It is a creative and exploratory process
that allows us to align ourselves with the soul’s purpose. I have
explored the concept of living from intention, and I know its
importance in supporting, shaping, and transforming consciousness. I
teach what I practice, and I realize that my life is a work in
progress. I continue to study, explore and share with other teachers
and truth-seeking beings. I am a student of life, continually striving
to obtain spiritual awareness through relationships and through my
intense personal desire for happiness, health, wellness, wellbeing,
freedom and joy.
In our space we are ALL heart-fully
dedicated to providing a warm and inviting environment for students to
discover consciousness through the body. We honor the union of body,
mind and spirit as a sanctuary to which we turn for peace and
equanimity and a deeper connection to the authentic Self.

Angela Graciani ~ Body Talk ~ What is Body Talk?
What do you get when you combine the
wisdom of advanced yoga and advaitic philosophy, the insights of modern
physics and mathematics, the energy dynamics of acupuncture, the
clinical findings of Applied Kinesiology, and western medical
expertise? A revolutionary new form of health care called BodyTalk.
BodyTalk is an astonishingly simple and effective form of therapy that
allows the body's energy systems to be re-synchronized so that they can
operate as nature intended. Each system, cell and atom is in constant
communication with each other at all times. Through exposure to the
stresses of day-to-day life, these lines of communication become
compromised, which then leads to a decline in physical, emotional
and/or mental health. Reconnecting these lines of communication then
enables the body's mechanisms to function at optimal levels, thus
preventing disease and rapidly accelerating the healing process.
BodyTalk can be used as a stand-alone system to treat many health
problems, or seamlessly integrated into any health care system to
increase its effectiveness and promote faster healing.
BodyTalk's major assets are its simplicity, safety, and the speed of
its results. It is non-invasive, objective in application, and works
effectively on humans and animals alike. Even if a BodyTalk technique
is performed incorrectly, it simply means that there will be no result
or change. It will not make things worse. It follows, therefore, that
anyone who receives BodyTalk has nothing to lose and everything to gain
as far as their health is concerned.
