Gabriella's Story

Hi, I'm Gabriella

I'm a Pilates and Barre instructor with a love of movement that makes you feel strong, capable and more connected to your body.

What I enjoy most about teaching isn't creating the hardest workout. It's seeing someone realise they're stronger than they thought, become more confident in how they move and start to genuinely enjoy showing up for themselves.

I also know that fitness spaces can sometimes feel intimidating, or as though you need to look, dress or move a certain way to belong. That's never how I want someone to feel with me. The workout isn't about me or anyone else in the room, it's about you showing up for yourself and meeting your body where it is that day.

That's what Mindful Movement with Gabriella has grown from: thoughtful, intentional movement that can still challenge you. I believe in pushing yourself when it feels right to, but I also believe in being kind to yourself along the way. You don't need hours in the gym every week to become stronger. Small amounts of movement, done consistently, really do make a difference.

Movement that meets you where you are

No two bodies move in exactly the same way, and I don't expect them to. Whether you're completely new to Pilates and Barre or have been moving for years, I'll always offer options so you can find what works for you.

I care about good form and moving with intention, but I also want you to enjoy your workout and feel confident enough to challenge yourself. Some days that might mean taking an option or slowing things down; other days it might mean pushing a little harder than you thought you could.

My classes can be challenging, I want them to be, but movement should work for you. There's no expectation to keep up with anyone else in the room. Come as you are, work at your level and we'll build from there.
