In 2023, I initiated my yoga journey at Black Swan Yoga, subsequent to a spinal injury incurred in an accident, which led me to discover asana practice. Following my teacher's recommendation, I pursued and successfully completed a 200hr yoga teacher certification through a scholarship program. Within a year, I accumulated over 300 hours of studio practice and completed my teacher training, supplemented by a 300hr yoga therapeutics course. I was awarded a scholarship by the Trini Foundation to study Ashtanga yoga. Currently, I instruct yoga for pain management at a local boxing gym, integrating my two years of group fitness expertise. Outside of yoga, I enjoy street photography in downtown SA.

Gina has had an interest in fitness since childhood and after a long and difficult personal season found yoga. She has discovered how to truly love herself and others through a Christ focused practice. Her passion is to share God's love with others so they can find freedom and balance in their lives. She completed her RYT-200 in 2020 and the next year continued RYT300 level one yoga therapy certification. She also has training for yoga nidra and through Veteran's Yoga Project Resilient MIndfulness to help those dealing with PTSD. She is also a group fitness instructor who teaches a wide variety of ages and styles. Gina's favorite style of yoga is Yin because it keeps one flexible and stills the mind. She also enjoys strength based yoga and a long savasana with meditation. She aims to be love and light to all she meets and to help them do the same. Gina's favorite place is home with her husband of 25 years, but she also loves traveling and experiencing new adventures.
