YOGA INSTRUCTOR

Abella carries a vibrant and warming presence with a passion for education and uplifting others to new heights through the practice of yoga. As an experienced 500-hr certified instructor, she found her way to yoga after her undergraduate at Stockton University.

When college came to a close, she knew she had to connect with a fitness community that reminded her of the years as a high school and college rower. From the first yoga class, she began to shape her life around the foundations that her teachers would teach on. Abella has created a strong community by teaching at several studios. Yoga gave her the dictionary to listen to her body and mind in a new way. Any classes that she leads places the focus on each student, listening to the non-verbal cues, and recognizing the specific growth spots for every individual. As Abella has grown, so has her yoga community. She enjoys individual private classes with elderly clients, school youth programs, and even professional adults in medical care.

With over 10 years of practice, it goes to say that yoga stood as a fitness and spiritual regimen. Abella balances a position in the medical field while particiating in Masters’ rowing practices, yoga classes, and time in the gym. If you see her, be sure to say hi!
