I recognize that yoga and wellness are vulnerable spaces that are inaccessible to a large majority of people. It is my goal as an instructor and student to create warm and welcoming environments where everyone feels seen. Spaces where we feel safe to transform and where we can build a kinder, gentler, and more honest world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/1620916888901-FLJ2X690CS866K6RZI3F/11390114_10205157771717500_557552227142349577_n.jpg Home - Who am I? My name is Gabriella Chernak (she/her/hers), but you can call me Gabbi, Gabs, or Gab. I am a friend, sister, adventurer, yoga teacher and student, writer, personal trainer, massage therapist, reader, and kids tennis instructor. I was raised in Arizona and absolutely love all things desert. Currently living nomadically with a base in San Diego, California. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/b18112e8-c455-4f44-ab57-2bccb9e8f046/IMG_7617.jpeg Home - Why are YOU here?! I love connecting with others and that is what this website is all about: A chance for us to connect through authenticity, self-reflection, and global diversity.

The practice of yoga has been transformed into a monetized, competitive, appearance-based sport rather than a spiritual practice. Yoga, at its core, should inspire and ignite change at both an internal and external level. Yoga is political. Yoga is standing up to injustice. Yoga is using my privileges both as an instructor and as a student to create a more inclusive space. A space where folks of all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, and body sizes feel welcome, supported, and represented. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/333dbdba-3b12-4144-9b17-67c986f099bd/IMG_0002.jpg Yoga - Current Schedule, listed in PST In Person - MindBody Love Studio in South Park, San Diego Online - online groups or individuals via Zoom Retreats - Free to Be Yoga Retreats, Guatemala February 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/1f274ad0-3b81-4246-a501-41da8a42a2ec/IMG_0003.jpg Yoga - 1:1 Sessions Private sessions via zoom for Yoga, Meditation, or Breathwork.

I teach tennis to demonstrate to young girls that they can not only be a successful player, but also see themselves confidently represented in positions of leadership. Internalized sexism starts at a very, very young age. I hope to be a part of the movement that begins changing the conversation around how we value women, particularly in sports. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/3f62b78f-eed0-4b2e-acfb-253e6c5b7440/IMG_7615.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/1611433682693-417ZWF0YNVW8S1O89QF3/Tennis+%236.PNG Tennis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/f86dda4a-5079-4889-921d-73ebf92dabe1/tempImagev6jeBn.jpg Tennis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/6a1c2550-d2fd-4bb8-8b7f-742e3e1e9c31/tempImagefDG8tM.jpg Tennis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/f91e9bd9-8817-4f8a-a3d7-a692985ee815/IMG_4247.jpg Tennis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/f4fe2f7d-4434-46c7-88e5-f0e1f46974d1/tempImagejyf4wZ.png Tennis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/1610996671134-0M34FYYL1ME2YK54UZF4/Tennis+%231+%281%29.JPG Tennis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/bd0a8a92-8b6a-4c67-a98b-0532e8cb8743/18922017_10210548908052539_1074862821203916759_n.jpg Tennis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/1610996670556-T2ZPZ3R3ZHUGEAFUE7G3/Tennis+%2310.jpg Tennis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/3c7a8c4a-cf89-4ba4-88fc-2bbe5e32d4bb/FALL+JTT+FINALISTS+2022.jpg Tennis https://www.gabbigoes.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-04-08 https://www.gabbigoes.com/more-about-me daily 0.75 2021-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/1614367496932-TAAJUP9PC3N9RA90D7FN/12370811_10205360049509814_7223167450231334075_o.jpg More about me! - 8 things to know about me: 1. Favorite Color - Turquoise - The stone has a deep, sacred tie to Native American culture. In Zuni, turquoise can be translated to "the sky stone." It is said that turquoise represents tranquility, protection, and hope. 2. Top place to travel - I have a goal of traveling to every country my mom lived as she was growing up. Some of the places I haven't made it to yet include Peru, Venezuela, Hong Kong, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. 3. Favorite Comfort Meal - A loaf of bread. There is truly nothing more comforting than a big ol' loaf of good bread. 4. Must have with you - My water bottle. I had my last water bottle for 8 years, it had survived falling down multiple canyons while I went hiking. I feel naked (and incredibly dehydrated) without it. 5. Favorite Book - The White Oleander by Janet Fitch 6. Favorite place in Massachusetts? Arizona? - In Mass., Rock Meadow in Belmont. Specifically the community garden. In AZ, Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation. It is located by the northeastern tip of the state, on the Utah/AZ border. It is about 2 hours west of the 4 corners. 7. Favorite Word - "Moai" - Moai is a Japanese term that refers to a committed group of friends who support one another in all forms of health (emotional, social, financial, spiritual, etc). They are formed regularly in Japan, often starting in childhood, in order to provide social support. It can also be translated as "meeting for a common purpose." 8. Quote to live by - "Some days I am more wolf than woman, and I am still learning how to stop apologizing for my wild." - from Women Who Run With The Wolves by Dr.Clarissa Pinkhola Estes https://www.gabbigoes.com/fitness daily 0.75 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/1611590527921-W3DW9R44TEL0CD6UMING/IMG_0949.jpg Fitness - MY WHY My sister, while battling cancer, talked about how she would celebrate “little wins” on any given day - going for a walk, having energy to play with her son, painting her nails. I teach fitness as a celebration of our minds and bodies, and as a recognition of when we are taking them for granted. It is a privilege and gift to be able to move and breathe in any capacity. When we leave behind the expectations of external motivators to look or feel a certain way, we can focus on uncovering joy and gratitude for what we are capable of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/88190b93-8046-433a-a6f2-bc2a7ef0e5ae/IMG_7600.jpg Fitness - MY BACKGROUND & OFFERINGS Bachelors Degree in Exercise Physiology ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist NASM Youth Exercise Specialist Certified Barre3 Instructor and Instructor Mentor for 7 years Currently teach at Barre3 San Diego - North Park and Mission Hills Personal Trainer Personalized 45-60 min personal training sessions in local parks in the San Diego Area https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/ad72f0df-bbb4-488e-83ad-73ead543b741/tempImageNKMRgl.jpg Fitness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/14ad2f7b-164a-4a1b-b2bb-18028f94033c/tempImage87Th9p.jpg Fitness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/1611350868374-ZD7OBZXYX1D80TUHPP69/B3+%233.JPG Fitness https://www.gabbigoes.com/massage daily 0.75 2025-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff76739d92c5f57246d2b74/ee03c51f-eb79-44c1-babd-a270c1e2ab70/IMG_2546.jpg https://www.gabbigoes.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.gabbigoes.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-x4hba monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.gabbigoes.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-r7gft monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.gabbigoes.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-agcrx monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
