Hello! My name is Gayla Downey.

In 2018, I embarked on my recovery journey, finding solace in Yoga and Women for Sobriety (WFS), a program dedicated to helping women overcome alcohol and substance use disorders.

It all started with a simple commitment to spend 5 minutes each morning on my yoga mat, connecting with my breath and movement. This small step ignited my passion for yoga.

Facing anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of years of numbing with drugs and alcohol, I was in desperate search of healing methods.

By 2020, I had become a Certified Facilitator for Women for Sobriety and earned my 200-Hour yoga certification. My journey continued as I started training to become a SheRecovers® Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher in 2021, completing my certification the following year.

In 2023, I earned a 500-Hour yoga teacher certification through South River Yoga, and Certified Holistic Coach designation through Holistic Coach Training Institute. Additionally, I became a Certified Reiki Practitioner, marking an important milestone in my path to understanding and utilizing healing energies.

Committed to my educational journey, I continue to study trauma informed practices for yoga, Reiki, and coaching.

Gayla encourages clients to explore who they really are, who they want to be, and what’s holding them back; discovering their own ability to flourish and thrive; body, mind, and spirit.
