I’m Gabrielle, a heart-on-sleeve crusader — passionately devoted to making the world a softer, kinder, more restorative place for all.
You are invited into a space where nothing is required of you — not even the version of yourself you think you should be. In this practice, we explore the quiet liberation that comes from releasing expectations, softening the inner pressure to perform, perfect, or prove.
Guided by the wisdom of the Chinese proverb, “Tension is who you think you should be; relaxation is who you are,” this session becomes a gentle unraveling — a return to the truth beneath the striving. With the help of props, breath, and deeply supported stillness, the body is given permission to settle into its natural state of ease.
As the guided practice aids the layers of “should” to dissolve, what can emerge is spaciousness — room for presence, authenticity, and the tender permission to simply be. This is not a practice of effort, but of remembering. A remembering that you are not defined by your tension, your productivity, or your expectations… you are defined by your inherent softness, your quiet wisdom, and your capacity to rest.
Come as you are. Let the rest fall away.
With love, Gabrielle
