Giana Gambino is a 500 hour Yoga Teacher currently testing the waters in San Francisco, CA.  She discovered yoga in college as a means to cope with grief and ease stress. After years of practicing, she enrolled in teacher training to deepen her understanding and advance her practice. Then one day she was thrown into teaching when her local studio didn't have anyone to lead class. Ever since then she's been sharing her passion for yoga with others in South Florida, Chicago and now out west. She aims to provide a safe space where all feel welcome and believes in meeting students where they are to build them up through challenges to experience growth. Her lighthearted and technical approach is rooted in the Hatha Vinyasa lineage, yet encompasses influences from other movement modalities. She currently teaches weekly group classes around the city, leads workshops and teacher trainings through her school, C.A.Y.A Yoga School, and hosts national and international yoga retreats.
