My spiritual and wellness path started in my teens. I have been blessed throughout my life to learn from incredible mentors, guides, teachers and masters.

YOGA & MEDITATION

My formal yoga studies began in Italy in 1994 at the Kriya Yoga Institute, immersing myself in the studies of Paramahansa Yogananda. After completing the training program, I continued studying for four years in my native Italy at the Sivananda Yoga School. In 1998 I moved to the United States, where I started teaching Yoga in the Sivananda tradition while completing the Hatha Yoga teacher training course at Synergy Yoga Center in Miami, FL. My interest in a more intense physical practice led me to the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga System and to the Ashtanga Teacher Training in 2000.  That same year I was blessed to meet Swami Bramavidyananda and to study yoga philosophy, relaxation, meditation and Pranayama for a year at the Ashram. This time had a profound impact on my practice and teaching. Over the past two decades I have attended various workshops and seminars, studied with various inspiring teachers around the world. I have explored different traditions with deep gratitude to the Buddhist paths and especially to the Hindu tradition. In the past 7 years I have been dedicated to deepen Yogic studies through the Vedic Tradition and under direct guidance of various Masters and Gurus in India. I have completed the following yoga certification in Kriya Yoga, Sivananda Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Chair Yoga, Prenatal, Postnatal and Mommy & Me Yoga. My meditation qualifications include Insight meditation, Mindfulness, Vedic/Yogic Meditation, Buddhist Meditation.

I have been blessed to teach private sessions, classes, workshops and yoga teacher training courses in United States, Europe, Central and South America.

My teachings are based on authentic yoga tradition and are inclusive of all aspects of yoga.
