Hi, I'm Gabriela Montani (@montanigabriela)—originally from Venezuela, now based in Bogotá, Colombia. I’m a certified Barre Intensity instructor (since early 2024) with over seven years of experience teaching Pilates Reformer. Beyond fitness, I am also a professional actress and dancer.

I first discovered my passion for barre while searching for a workout that would both support my dance career and bring me joy. What draws me to barre is how it allows me to strengthen my body through movement that feels creative and expressive—almost like dancing.

For me, being a barre instructor goes far beyond physical exercise. It’s about creating a welcoming space to learn from others, share energy, and build lasting connections with students, rooted in respect and friendship. Teaching barre has not only given me the chance to recharge through my community, but has also helped me discover and understand myself in new ways.

I truly believe movement should be joyful, empowering, and accessible to everyone. I can’t wait to share that experience with you in class!
