Gael Chiarella Alba

Gael’s trademarked Yokibics Mindbody Fitness Program was named “One of The Nations Top Ten” by American Health Magazine, and she has been referred to as an expert in her field by the industry, the media and her peers. In response to a growing international market, Gael began producing books and spoken word products through The Yokibics Productions Company while teaching innovative classes in Yoga and Yokibics Fitness at Hofstra University in New York. In addition, she founded and facilitated the principle-centered School for Spiritual Warriors as a virtual think tank for the practice of higher consciousness as well as The Yokibics Way 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training Program.

Honored by the New York Nassau County Legislature and The Coalition Against Domestic Violence as Woman of the Year, Gael Chiarella Alba is the Founder of Yokibics and has worked as an author, speaker, trainer and Warrior Life Coach for individuals and organizations since 1986.

Trained in movement, dance and classical ballet, Gael’s interest in humanity led her dancing feet to a degree in Psychology and Theology at St. Johns University in New York with a certification as a suicide prevention and crisis intervention counselor, thereby solidifying a mind-body-spirit approach as the basis of her professional career.

More important to her than the study of disease though, came a deep and abiding interest in the creation of health.

Continuing through various schools of advanced study in yoga, bodywork, psychology, nutrition, mindbody fitness and hypnotherapy, Gael moved from her own practice and began developing and facilitating National Conferences to educate inter-related professionals in the development of a complementary health care model. For these industry milestones she won national recognition as an innovator and a pioneer. Many of her visionary ideas are in common practice today.

With a profound love of Earth and a deep connection to activism and wilde ess support, Gael has successfully climbed scores of mountain summits, many numbered among the highest peaks in North America, and finds equal satisfaction meandering local preserves and forests. Her scuba training and devotion to diving the hidden cave s and sunken wrecks of the ocean floor has brought great pleasure to the water baby in her.

She and her husband Bob share five children.
