Precious Gellada 

Precious Gellada (she/her) discovered yoga in 2013 while attending college in La Crosse, WI. She always found movement as a form of mental release so she decided to try hot yoga in a small boutique yoga studio. After her first class, she walked out mentally and physically transformed. After graduating from college she moved to Denver, CO in 2015 and found The River Yoga in 2021. It quickly grew to become her yoga home and filled her with so much gratitude and enlightenment. She started working there as a cleaner, became more involved with the community, and got hired as a studio assistant, admin coordinator, cleaning lead, and retreat coordinator.

After over a decade of building her self-practice, she felt ready to take the next step in her journey and complete the 200-hour YTT program with The River Yoga. Throughout the program, she learned about multiple facets of yoga—i.e. anatomy, philosophy, breathing, history, Pantanjali’s yoga sutras, sequencing, hands-on assists, trauma-informed yoga, and theming. She was officially certified as a RYT-200 in November 2023. Precious now teaches three different class formats at The River, such as Hot River Flow, Warm River Flow and River Flow. 

Precious loves to share this practice with others looking for a safe space to tap into their being. With her as your guide, she’ll take you on a yogic journey through electronic music and life lessons as you attain a present state by using breath to movement.
