Gabrielle Martin is currently a student of contemporary dance at Concordia University. She is a STOTT PILATES certified pilates teacher, a certified personal fitness trainer with the American Council of Exercise (ACE), and a Registered Holistic Nutritionist with the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.

Over the last ten years, Gabrielle's own physical practice has included competitive sports, contemporary dance, circus arts, weight training, and mind-body practices such as pilates, yoga, and somatic dance. As a performing artist, her career highlights to date have included the Closing Ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy; the Macau International Fringe Festival 2005 in Macau, China; and the Vulcana Women's Circus 2004 in Brisbane, Australia.

Gabrielle actively seeks an integrated and mindful approach to movement; one that deepens kinesthetic awareness in order to facilitate corrective movement patterning, effortless physicality, and a more embodied experience within daily life. She brings this philosophy into her teaching at Studio Praxis.
