It’s time to finally start your yoga practice.

Stemming from her work in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and personal battles with chronic illness, Gabriella pursued a 200 hour yoga teacher training at Three Queens Yoga in 2018. Her gentle classes explore taking the practice of yoga off the mat and integrating additional space into day to day life. Her offerings lean on trauma informed training and she welcomes both newcomers and regular practitioners to her classes.

Suzanne Leona

Suzanne Leona is a Philadelphia based yoga and movement teacher. She was introduced to yoga through a college course, which ended up being the most influential class she ever took. After leaving her finance career on Wall St., she pursued her passion to combine her love of yoga with her desire to help others.

Suzanne is both a 500-hr and prenatal registered yoga teacher. She is passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone, which is why she teaches classes such as gentle yoga, yoga basics, prenatal/postpartum yoga, and yoga for Parkinson’s.

No matter the class, expect a thought-provoking yet playful practice with plenty of movement options to choose from. She aims for her classes to be an opportunity for you to acquire a deeper understanding of yourself. Her hope is that each class will help you live more mindfully.

Suzanne is thankful for the Maha community and all the teachers who have influenced her practice and teaching. She looks forward to practicing with you soon.

“If you’re trying to minimize injury while building strength and flexibility, I strongly recommend Maha.”
