About the Owners/Instructors
Regina Pietersen E-RYT 500, YACEP
Regina Pietersen is a 500-hour certified yoga instructor (E-RYT 500, YACEP) with extensive training in Vinyasa, Hatha, and Bhakti Yoga. She completed her advanced training at the Himalayan Institute in Pennsylvania and holds specialized certifications including Buddha Body Yoga with Michael Hayes and Ropes & Slings with Alison West, a renowned Iyengar teacher.
Regina offers classes ranging from beginner to intermediate levels, with a focus on alignment, breath awareness, and accessibility for all body types. She is currently pursuing an 800-hour Yoga Therapy certification with Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy and is also a Level II Reiki practitioner. In addition to yoga and energy work, Regina is a certified sound healer and offers crystal bowl sound baths as part of her holistic approach to wellness. These immersive sound experiences are designed to support deep relaxation, energetic balance, and inner harmony.
Regina first turned to yoga to support her triathlon training and manage stress. The physical, mental, and emotional benefits she experienced inspired her to share yoga as a powerful tool for well-being. Her teaching is grounded, compassionate, and breath-centered—designed to help students connect deeply with both mind and body.
Gabrielle Brokaw RYT 200
Gabrielle Brokaw is an RYT200 Registered Yoga Teacher (200-Hour, Yoga Alliance). She completed this training with Regina Pietersen of Breathe Life Sangha in 2019. She holds certification in Trauma-Informed Yoga through the Prison Yoga Project, is a certified Y12SR Peer Support Guide, with additional training in Yin Yoga and Self Myofascial Release through Gabrielle Harris Yoga.
Currently, Gabi shares yoga and meditation with residents at Jersey Shore Medical Center’s in-patient psychiatric unit, students at KEYS Academy (Recovery High School), and adults and adolescents in treatment at Pyramid Healthcare/High Focus. She also serves with The Phoenix, a "Sober Active Community" where she leads yoga, mindfulness, and sound healing sessions, supports new members, and connects volunteers to opportunities for service.
As a Yoga facilitator and community builder, Gabi is dedicated to making the practice of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation accessible to everyone. Her work centers around bringing trauma-sensitive, healing practices to people navigating recovery, mental health challenges, and underserved communities.
Whether teaching on the beach, in a treatment center, or working with students one on one, her mission remains the same: to offer safe, supportive, and accessible yoga practices that create space for healing, growth, and connection.
