Gina took her first yoga class 12 years ago in a gym thanks to a persistent friend. “It was the best thing I'd ever experienced in my life and what I will never forget is the spiritual awakening that I had in savasana. It was not only magical but it was the beginning of my yoga path and a life long transformation.” Gina completed the Yogaview Teacher Training, 2009 under the loving guidance of her teachers, Tom Quinn, Quinn Kearney, Claire Mark and Geri Blier and she is also a graduate of the Temple of Kriya Yoga's Teacher Training, 2007, under the loving guidance of ordained Swami Mary Samano. Gina has studied with Paul Weitz , Seane Corn, Natasha Rizopoulos, Ana Forrest, and Kino MacGregor. Her lifelong ever evolving practice continues to grow and flourish under the guidance of many of her teachers namely, Claire Mark, Quinn Kearney and Daylene Christensen.

"The Yoga Practice is indeed firmly grounded when it is pursued incessantly, with reverence and for a long time." Yoga Sutra 1.14
