ABOUT GIANNA
Gianna is a Yoga Alliance Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher, a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider YACEP and a Trauma-Informed Inpatient Yoga Therapist. She has certifications as a WAE L1 Teacher and in Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga, and has completed her Practicum as a Yoga Calm Teacher. She will graduate in March, 2022, as an RCYT with a Trauma-Informed Emphasis. Gianna brings the knowledge and grace of a personal and family history of ballet to her work as a Yoga Practitioner. There is a particularly sensitive and compassionate nature to her teaching, which is supported by a strong background in Yoga as a therapeutic modality, specifically when working with mental health disorders through Trauma-Informed Yoga. Through her own practice over the course of many years, she has experienced first-hand the benefits of Yoga in helping her to overcome back pain and injury, as well as bringing a greater sense of purpose, peace, and well-being to her life. YOGA WITH A THERAPEUTIC APPROACH Gianna's work as a Yoga Practitioner is rooted in Therapeutic Yoga, "the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of Yoga," as defined by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). Gianna Bardelli Yoga, LLC (formerly Namasté Yoga, LLC) was established in 2013, in the Spokane Valley, by Gianna and her husband, Keith. Originally a professional home Yoga studio, a second Yoga studio in a professional center was opened in September, 2019. From March, 2020 to the present, our studio has remained open and active while adjusting to the world around us while continuing to offer Yoga in a different format, via livestream classes and workshops. Our Studio’s format may be a bit different than that of the traditional Yoga studio: All of our weekly scheduled group classes are offered in eight-week sessions, for which students register. While we do not offer a public drop-in class option, if there is interest in joining us for the balance of an eight-week session that is currently in progress and an opening is available, we kindly welcome you to join, and your tuition will be prorated. Throughout the course of our eight-week sessions, there are also four-week series to enjoy as well. Our Studio is small (even when online), and class sizes are limited to 10 students, both of which are intentional. This allows us to offer a space that is conducive to individualized attention, as well as to be supportive to those who come to us who are suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, or physical injury. The Studio and its surroundings are aesthetically calming, not overwhelming, nor overstimulating, offers soft lighting, and creates a safe space, for all of our students and clients to embrace. All classes are taught by Gianna. Her primary practice specialty places an emphasis on Trauma-Informed Yoga (Yoga for mental health disorders, mental health care, well-being, and mindfulness) and offers classes focusing on the same through Trauma-Informed Inpatient Yoga Therapy, and Yoga for Well-Being. Gianna continues to invest her time in extensive certifications relative to Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy, mental health and well-being, and Domestic Violence Victims Advocacy.
