We booked a private yoga session with Gigi for a bachelor party in Austin, and she was absolutely incredible. She was professional, extremely accommodating, and so patient with all of us, especially since we were total beginners.
Gigi made the entire experience feel comfortable and fun, and she worked seamlessly with the space we had in our Airbnb’s backyard. Her guidance was clear, calming, and perfect for our group’s energy that morning.
If I’m ever back in Austin and looking to do yoga again, I’d call her in a heartbeat. Everyone in our group agreed we’d give her 6 out of 5 stars if we could. Highly recommend!

We had the best time with Gigi! She taught a yoga session at our Airbnb for a bachelorette weekend! She was so sweet, and made the class perfect for all levels. It was the most relaxing start to our day! Highly recommend for any girls trip or bachelorette — she made the whole experience so special 🧘♀️✨

Gigi was great! We had a last minute change and she was able to accommodate. Once we started, she was amazing. Our team had a good session and really enjoyed!

I hired Gigi to do a private session for my sister's bachelorette party group. I couldn't make the trip but Gigi was so helpful and responsive while we tried to find a suitable place, and even felxible enough to pull a last minute change when weather kept us from our first spot. She was on time, & gave a great session at a great value. The girls LOVED it and haven't stopped talking about what a nice time it was.
