I absolutely loved this class. It was challenging then relaxing. I look forward to the next one.
Gil started practicing Power Yoga in Mayagüez,
Puerto Rico in 2009 at the age of 37. Even though he found it quite
challenging, he continued practicing, in which began an extensive
journey of Yoga. In 2010, Gil took his first Hatha Yoga teacher
training at the Rishikesh Yoga Peeth School in India the summer of
2010 for seven weeks. After returning to Puerto Rico he started
teaching around the island, including various maximum security
prisons where he lead the yoga program for about two years. Yoga
helped inmates reduce anxieties, the use of medications, as well as
enhanced other aspects of life.
In 2012 Gil began practicing Progressive Ashtanga
Vinyasa Yoga and Rocket Vinyasa Yoga under the tutelage of David
Kyle (founder of Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga). Gil deepened
his practice by training with David (who is an advanced student of
the late Larry Schultz, creator of Rocket Yoga System). After
completing his training Gil began teaching at David’s studio,
Ashtanga Yoga Puerto Rico, in San Juan.
In 2016 Gil relocated to Austin, teaching in
various local main studios around the city. Gil continues to lead
Rocket Workshops around Texas and other states, as well as provide
various other opportunities for yoga practitioners to deepen their
practice.
Gil has 500+ hours in teacher trainings, and
thousands hours of teaching since 2010, and his philosophy strongly
resides that the true learning it’s in the practice itself and that
“I’m not your guru.” He works with all levels of practitioners to
find their own internal compass for bringing their yoga practice to
life.
