What is Temple of Bear Wellbeing?
I am Gigi - the heart behind Temple of Bear Wellbeing.
I've always had some kind of creative project going…be it in wellbeing, music or even language teaching - I've always had a container for my creative growth and service.
Temple of Bear came at a time that I was practically and energetically ready to commit to the unfolding of a longer, larger path.
It is the cauldron in which my vocation can be brewed and shared.
It has become a sacred container for me, a structure in which my essence can express and offer itself.
May the services here orient you towards your essence aswell.

Temple of Bear Values
Creativity - We have infinite potential
Creativity is one of my most abundant resources. Connection to this part of me allows inspiration to be fresh and alive. I encourage everyone to connect to the wealth of their inner resources and unique gifts in the creation of what is possible for yourself and the collective.
Sovereignty - We are our own Alchemists
You are your greatest source of wisdom. Your body is your source of healing. Everything else is a mirror, a tool, a guide for you to connect to your innate wholeness and magic. My offerings aim to bring you into greater awareness of yourself as your own alchemist and master of your own creative power.
Groundedness - We connect to Life through embodied presence
What is inside me is what I present. I teach what I know through embodied, lived experience and I teach from my heart. I am genuine. I aim to foster a grounded approach to spirituality and wellness that promotes here-and-now presence and embodiment and integrates accessibility and practicality into its application. This includes supporting my offerings with scientific evidence where relevant and possible, to support the integration of holistic wellbeing into public-knowledge and mainstream practice.
Inclusivity - We Rise Together
Everyone has unique perspectives and wisdom to offer. Everything and everyone is a teacher. We all have blind-spots, shadows and areas for growth. I value respect and a mindset of equality towards all people, including ourselves. Through honesty about where we're at and a commitment to authenticity over perfectionism, honouring self and other is possible.
Wholeness over Perfection - Embrace the spiral
Life is messy, magical, and nonlinear. All parts are welcome—the shadow, the setback, the joy. Wholeness includes it all.
Testimonials
‹
"I am so grateful for Gigi's classes as they have guided me to look at life more compassionately and given me ways to stay connected through mind, body and spirit. Gigi's passion for polyvagal theory comes through in her eclectic classes with breath work, mindfulness, yoga and so much more. Gigi generously imparts her knowledge and experience as she guides you to release and ground yourself to a feeling of calm, peaceful connectedness. "
-Amanada
"Gigi is a natural healer who has the ability to transform your emotional, spiritual and physical energy with powerful techniques. Her polyvagal class has absolutely transformed my relationship with stress and trauma and has been a beautiful gift of healing. I could not recommend Gigi's classes more highly for anyone who needs a bit of love and healing light in their lives"
-Georgia
"I cherish and look forward to Gigi's yoga classes. She has a gentle, vibrant energy and a deep wisdom that she brings to each session. Her insights and thoughtful guidance help me deepen my yoga practice and enable me to integrate its teachings into daily life. I always leave Gigi's classes feeling nourished physically, emotionally and spiritually. I have found her somatic yoga classes to be especially beneficial. It is a truly magical experience when Gigi chants during Savasana. Her voice is amazing - clear and almost bell-like. "
-Megan
"Gigi has a comprehensive knowledge of the nervous system, her passion for which permeates her thoughtful yogic instruction. Her well-spoken, endearing manner carries participants on an inspiring journey through the fascinating world within themselves and her soul-churning vocalizations are a divine conclusion to the session, leaving your body in awe and on a high! I was speechless after my first polyvagal toning class with Gigi."

I feel more aligned with my values and integral in my approach to different components of my life. Her sessions are always sensitive and are helping nurture my creativity and self-efficacy. I have also found myself reaching out to and feeling more settled in my community and feeling more grounded and supported in my life."
