About Gina Wasserlein-Peto
To be truly happy in life and to feel complete, balanced, happy, healthy and peaceful, we must be able to clear our minds and free ourselves from the thoughts that don’t serve us well.
We must have the strength and clarity to listen to our intuition and the confidence to make things happen. The life we presently live stems from our past thoughts, words, and actions.
Yoga and meditation are tools to help us live a life we all want to live. The more we practice being present, calm, peaceful on the yoga mat, the more we can practice being present, calm and peaceful off the mat… where it matters most.
For over 20 years, Gina has shared her passion of yoga and meditation with others and has empowered, motivated and supported many women, men, teens and children to live better lives.
