Gelavij Myrold

Growing up as a dancer and gymnast, Gelavij naturally gravitated towards activities like pilates, barre, and yoga in adulthood. She graduated with a  B.S. in Elementary Education in 2003 and has been teaching in the classroom both domestically and abroad. Along with her husband and 2 children, Gelavij moved to Carmel in 2017. 

The past several years Gelavij recognized a need to grow the physical, mental, and emotional health of her middle school students. She sought her certification in yoga and as a social emotional learning facilitator through Breathe for Change to incorporate these skills within the classroom. As a RYT-500 with the Yoga Alliance and wellness ambassador, Gelavij hopes to spread her mission of healing and social change to her students and in the community. Gelavij also holds a Barre certification. Once Gelavij met the dynamic and inspiring instructors at Carmel Barre, she found a fit with like-minded women who dedicate themselves to empowering others.
