I bring my dance and gymnastics background to the practice of teaching of yoga. I enjoy teaching beginners who are just starting their yoga journey as well as seasoned practitioners who might need to slow down and enjoy that journey more. My slow flow style is accessible for all body types and ability levels. I teach YogaKids classes, Gentle Hatha, and Chair Yoga around the Pinellas County area.

UpLIFT Nola is located in the beautiful, historic Algiers Point neighborhood on the Westbank of New Orleans. The studio is more than 100 years old and has served the community in numerous capacities, but today it offers a quaint and quiet place to rejuvenate. Our teachers use dynamic mindfulness, meditation, yoga, art and other wellness practices to help students shake off the stress of life and restore balance.

Gayla is a vivacious new yoga teacher who is adamant about including all bodies in her yoga classes. With a focus on body positive intention setting before classes and a heavy use of props, she is motivated to create a space where everyone feels safe to practice their own yoga in the body they have.
