Gayl Walder
Gayl Walder, RYT has always enjoyed helping others, and has a strong desire as well as a unique ability to connect with people on many different levels. Formally educated at Northeastern University, as well as obtaining her MSW from Loyola University in Chicago, she has had the opportunity to work in the Adult Probation department of Cook County, and as a social worker for the Highland Park Hospital ER.
Trained by top instructors from all over the country, she is certified through Eight Limbs yoga and Yoga Alliance. Jim Bennitt has been Gayl's main inspiration who continually guides her to new heights in yoga and is a mentor and motivating force.
Her life experiences and extensive training have helped her to develop a unique style in her classrooms, emphasizing and encouraging her students to live a peaceful and balanced life on and off the yoga mat. A flowing meditation best describes her creative blend of pranayama, power yoga, ashtanga, Forrest, hatha and anusara. Her classes are strengthening and rejuvenating, while the students learn to remain calm, focused and at ease.
A day is not complete without Gayl being surrounded by her beautiful family with love and light.
