About Gabriela
Founder of Elamental Flow
I’m Gabriela — a yoga teacher, retreat host, nature lover, and someone who deeply believes in the power of movement and reflection to help us reconnect with ourselves.
Born between two cultures as both American and Brazilian, I’ve always felt drawn to exploring the world, learning from different perspectives, and creating spaces where people can feel grounded and inspired at the same time.
When I’m not teaching yoga or hosting retreats, you’ll likely find me enjoying good food, traveling somewhere new, spending time in nature, or laughing with the people I love.But more than anything, I’m someone who believes that life is meant to be lived with curiosity, intention, and connection.
My Yoga Journey
I discovered yoga in 2017 at a local Houston studio during Baron Baptiste’s 40-day yoga challenge.
What started as a physical practice quickly became something much deeper.
Within two years, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training, and the experience transformed the way I understood my body, my mind, and my place in the world.
Yoga challenged me in ways I never expected — physically, mentally, and emotionally. But through the movement, breathwork, and inquiry, I began to feel more connected to myself and to a community of people who were also seeking growth and self-discovery.
Yoga continues to be a practice that supports me through life’s challenges and reminds me that growth is always possible.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
— T.K.V. Desikachar
BEHIND ELAMENTAL FLOW
Nature and the elements of the earth have always been a source of inspiration for me.
The grounding strength of earth, the fluidity of water, the transformative energy of fire, and the openness of air all remind us that we are deeply connected to the world around us.
Elamental Flow was created from this inspiration.
It is a space where women can step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with their bodies, their breath, and the natural rhythms that guide us.
Through yoga, movement, reflection, and retreats in beautiful natural settings, my intention is to create experiences that feel supportive, empowering, and deeply human.
THE INSPIRATION
MY MISSION
My mission as a teacher is to create spaces where women feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to reconnect with themselves.
Whether through a yoga practice, a workshop, or a retreat experience, I believe that when we slow down and listen to our bodies, we begin to rediscover our strength, our clarity, and our capacity to care for ourselves and for others.
When we reconnect with ourselves, we naturally reconnect with the world around us.
And from that place, we can move through life with more intention, compassion, and awareness.
