Gabrielle Raiz is a successful author, editor, a keen foodie and health-loving educator who perhaps surprisingly started her working life as a dentist. She has a knack for making things practical and understandable and has a flexible approach to her food and her yoga.
Gabrielle’s talent as an author was crystallized through much online writing and of course with the publishing of her highly successful first book: Hot Yoga MasterClass. First published in 2008, it continues (in its tenth year) to sell well on Amazon and through her own websites and garner excellent reviews (averaging 4.8 stars). The book was initially available as a large-format hard cover spiral-bound book, re-released as a paperback in 2012, in 2017 as an e-book, and in 2022 as an updated hardcover.
Both her cookbooks were top sellers. Green Smoothie Magic was one of the first green smoothie books way back in 2012 and 132+ Delicious Salads, Dressings and Dips was number 1 of all paid books, albeit briefly but hey, it’s a stat that’s worthy of a small amount of bragging. All of her recipes are fuss-free, adaptable and most importantly use easy to find ingredients that anyone can find. Some embody beautiful simplicity of 1 or 2 ingredients while others are marvelously complex, but never hard to make!
Her hallmark style has an easy, intelligent and conversational tone with a touch of humor!
In both her currently chosen fields of nutrition and yoga she has built a solid reputation for creating products of beauty and above all, quality. “What you eat and how you move are 2 fields in which being mindful and present are vital”, Gabrielle says. “I love that I help people do both!”
As the Hot Yoga Doctor she helps tens of thousands of people every month in every corner of the planet improve their yoga practices by demystifying all things yoga, hot yoga and Bikram Yoga™.
And as a professional fiction and non-fiction editor, she loves to apply her detailed wordsmiths skills to help other authors scale new heights.
Something you may not know about Gabrielle (and rather unusual for a yoga instructor) is that she used to race motorcycles! But as she’s been known to say “the last time I rode a motorbike was to go and buy a pregnancy testing kit”. Her daughter is now 20!
