G Cenedella (they/them)
Hi there! My name is G, I’m a nonbinary human and my pronouns are they/them. I’m a queer, white, lower-class and a disabled person living with Type-1 Diabetes. I have lived on Abanaki land, known as Burlington, VT, for the last decade.
My personal practice tends to be introspective and meditative, with a good mix of vigorous vinyasa flow to deep restorative ooey-gooey goodness. I turn to my personal practice in times of joy, grief, contentment, energy and slowness. My yoga practice involves meditations, asana practice and readings around yogic philosophy and roots from other practitioners.
I tend to teach a slower, energetically grounded style of vinyasa flow with a deep focus on breath, alignment cues and supporting our individual and collective centering. You can expect a flow that moves through sequences that strive to ground you into your body and experience. You’ll feel challenged and deeply held at the same time, by yourself and by me. My vision as a yoga teacher is to not be a teacher at all, but to be a fellow practitioner helping to hold the container for your practice, provide helpful sequencing and cueing, and to help make connections to the wide ranging philosophical, meditative and physical aspects of yoga.
My teaching is influenced by my queerness, my disability, my whiteness, my studies towards becoming a therapist, the relationship between music and movements, and my dedication to learning more about this whole existence as a human with a body in this big, beautiful and wild world. I pursued a teaching certification in yoga to deepen my personal practice and to work on finding greater ease and contentment within my mind, my body, my emotions and my spirituality. I didn’t study with the intention of teaching, it just so happens that I enjoy sharing yoga with people in this capacity, and I’m deeply grateful for it.
I started my first teacher training in 2019 with Sangha, but wasn’t able to complete it at that time. I returned to teacher training with Sangha in the fall 2022 and completed it the following spring. My teaching lineage stems primarily from Caitlin Pascucci, but there have been many teachers along the way (in person, online and in books) that have impacted how I approach teaching yoga, including Sarah Diedrick, Caitlin McCloskey-Meyer, Kaleigh Mulpeter, Jacoby Ballard, Susanna Barkataki, and Lama Rod Owens.
I’m currently a graduate student studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Antioch University. It takes up a lot of my free time, but when I do have moments to spare I love to fill them with good friends, rollerblading, bike rides, kayaking, river adventures and creative joys like dancing, watercoloring, playing guitar, writing poetry, and stitching some embroidery! I’m excited to get to practice with you!
