Revolution Meets Yoga As Gabrielle Roberts Breathes New Life Into Minneapolis

Perhaps it’s elevated on the terrace of Minneapolis Four Seasons, rooted in nature at The Commons adjacent to the U.S. Bank Stadium, inside her Yoga Studio or The Jungle Yoga School—no matter the setting, Roberts asks devotees bowing on their mats, “where’s the sound of your breath?” As sweat drips from the crown down to the root, all 7 chakras (Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root) are aligned, working toward contemporary liberation. Perspiration beads double as liquid for libations; 612 offerings lead by the Yoga Goddess are an extension of ancestral ceremonies, where her careful and intentional flows serve as rituals.

Roberts has dedicated life as she knows it to Yoga—revolutionizing the ancient, sacred practice, ushering back in the color and melanin missing for centuries. As a result of her relentless work and cultural contributions, Roberts served as face for Lululemon Align at the top of 2nd quarter, 2023, posing in various garments for a global campaign alongside other elite Lululemon Ambassadors, floating into her 3rd year with the Canadian multinational athletic apparel retailer.

The work isn’t defined or doesn’t merely begin or end with her coveted partnerships or brand deals. Roberts work is anchored in providing education to aspiring and emerging Yoga Teachers, and access to Yogi enthusiasts. Successfully curating and guiding 22 souls on her Jungle Dreams Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica this past May, Roberts is already planning the 2.0 Jungle Dreams Yoga Retreat, which is set for January 2024. As a token of gratitude, the Yoga Goddess will be offering a 6-week Mentorship Program—unlocking the secrets to transforming Yoga into a thriving business, a 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training, “Keep It Juicy” (a community conversation series), and a bonus, unprecedented event, “____ in the Jungle” that will literally vibrate the world!

After kicking off the Lululemon Summer Series in June, Roberts partnered with the city of Minneapolis for a Summer Series of her own, which goes through September 30, 2023; the greatness is endless. And as if overseeing her 612 staff guiding the 7th cohort of Yoga Teacher Training Students through their respected rites of passage (in route to be illuminated by Minnesota’s premier Yoga Studio & School, with certification from Yoga Alliance®) isn’t enough, Roberts is gearing up for the 5 Year Anniversary of 612 Jungle—if this is not the work of a Goddess, the world needs new examples, demonstrations and definitions. Join Gabrielle and the eternal company of grateful souls she keeps Saturday, August 5, 2023 for “Parlay In The Park” Downtown Minneapolis at The Commons from 11:00 AM — 2:00 PM for revolution, community, sacred, and highest vibrations.
