Gail Corvette

Gail's students say her classes are nourishing, positive, playful and intelligently paced.

Yoga has led Gail on amazing journey from her head to her heart. She was drawn to her teacher Jackie Prete for her precise alignment cues but soon learned of yoga's transformational spiritual teachings in Jackie's classes and her Anusara Immersion. Gail took another Immersion with Jackie and Rudrani Farbman-Brown (who has owned the World Yoga Center for 40 years) and their 200-hour teacher training. She taught yoga in New York and Hong Kong before following her heart and retiring to her husband David's hometown of Charleston after a 25-year career in human resources consulting.

Her Self-inquiry practice has deepened through meditation, yoga philosophy studies, and spiritual programs including The Sophia Institute and The Sacred Soul Center. It also helped her realize that her path of recovery from alcoholism (she has been sober since 1995) and how yoga profoundly deepened her connection to the Divine is a gift to share with others. She started and leads RecoverYoga, which helps people in recovery heal through yoga, guided meditation and contemplation.

Gail loves the yoga philosophy of seeing the good in everything and in embodying qualities of the heart (such as acceptance, freedom, peace and bliss) on and off the mat. A fellow yoga teacher visiting Gail's MUSC class said, "I teach students how to get their bodies into a pose; you teach us how to get our spirits in the pose."
