Gabriela (she/her)
There's too many reasons to love teaching at Hipline, but one of the main draws and deep sense of purpose I have stewarding this space for 16 years is having the space to PLAY! And more specifically the space to play without the "male gaze"- for ourselves and for each other. Leading and taking other Hipline classes is a daily exercise in what makes us feel yummy, joyful, in love with ourselves and with each other. This is not the place to show up for prescribed toxic beauty standards. I've often had to leave the best parts of me behind to literally and figuratively "fit" into spaces- my humor, my comfort for touch like hugging and kissing, which is deeply cultural, other things that are my true form. It's time to remove the veil of numbness and indifference and drop into our power and reorganize so that we can show up in our larger than life form! See you soon!
