About Me

Gabrielle Hopp completed her Bachelor’s degree in music therapy from the University of Evansville and her Master’s degree in musicology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Gabrielle began studying yoga in 2003 and completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in Prague, Czech Republic in 2010. Since then, she has trained extensively with master teachers throughout the United States including Theresa Murphy, Rod Stryker, Tias Little, Ben Vincent, Christina Sell and Amy Matthews.

In 2012, Gabrielle traveled to India to study Yoga Therapy with yoga masters The Mohans in Chennai, India. There she completed the first two modules of their 500-hour yoga therapy training, which included instruction on musculo-skeletal approaches to yoga therapy. In January 2013, she returned to Chennai to complete modules three and four emphasizing pranayama and degenerative diseases.

Gabrielle’s philosophy is that yoga is a life practice. One should view yoga practice with a broad scope to include meditation, prayer, chanting and singing, compassion in action, and breathing, as well as physical postures. Through a practice of yoga, we have the opportunity to discover our true nature and our purpose for being here (dharma).

Gabrielle has been teaching yoga and practicing music therapy since 2010. She has taught yoga at Prague Yoga in the Czech Republic and at One Tree Yoga in Omaha, NE, including a four-week series of yoga therapy. Gabrielle taught for two years in Minneapolis at Nokomis Yoga and Core Pilates. While in Minneapolis, Gabrielle practiced music therapy at Golden Living Center. Here she worked with an elderly population and people with mental health disturbances. In Austin, TX, she taught at SoCo Yoga with fellow Prajna yogi Jyl Kutsche where additionally, she led monthly kirtans. She also taught yoga therapy to people recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. Beginning in 2014, Gabrielle made her way back to Omaha, NE to teach with the One Tree Yoga team. She currently co-leads the 200-hour teacher training program, manages the East studio and teaches public classes.

She is a Nebraska native, and currently makes her home in Ashland, NE with her boyfriend Lucas and their 3-legged cat Moose.

Gabrielle teaches regular classes and workshops at One Tree Yoga. See www.onetreeyoga.com for more details.
