Interview with Gabrielle Harris (The Language of Yin)

In this episode, I sit down with Gabrielle Harris, author of The Language of Yin, to talk about her journey in Yoga, the art of theming and sequencing classes, and what it really takes to find your own voice as a teacher.

We get honest about the struggles new teachers face, the importance of practice and patience, and why it’s okay to start simple and build from there.

Gabrielle shares her experiences bringing Yin Yoga to New Zealand, writing her books, and how she approaches teaching with creativity and compassion.

We also touch on the challenges of using AI and scripts in Yoga, and why your own words matter most.
