I deeply love to support self development processes with the practices of yoga, breathwork, and meditation. I KNOW that these practices offer unique opportunities for deep connection and profound healing because they have been fundamental to my own personal transformation.

Ten years ago, I was lost in my own darkness, living on autopilot based on conditioning and limiting beliefs I wasn't even aware of, a low self-esteem masked by sassiness, and I was accepting crumbs as if they were gold.

But also ten years ago, I made a decision to take control of my destiny. I committed to myself and embarked on a journey towards greater understanding and self-acceptance. The path has been far from linear; we fall and rise, fall and rise again. Yet, with each step, we become more aware, more compassionate, and wiser.

The goal is not perfection. Instead, the goal is to embrace the beauty of our unique paths and develop the ability to stay connected to our inner gravity, even during the most terrific storms.

✨ What kind of life do you want? ✨

Where and how do you want to live? What do you want to do? Who do you want to surround yourself with? What are your priorities?

Your answers set your direction, and when the direction is clear, everything else falls into place.

Here are some snapshots of my life lately, reminding me that I’m living the life I once dreamed of and hopefully inspiring you to keep pursuing your own path!

It’s not perfect—sometimes it’s hard, other times it feels like a total blessing—but you know what? No matter what, it’s the life I chose. It’s mine. ✨

Ask me what I love the most!

I have been a teacher throughout my entire life. I taught photography to children and teenagers in vulnerable environments, I taught Italian as a second language to adults. Now, I am dedicated to teaching yoga, breathwork, and meditation as tools for self-growth and healing.

All my teaching experience showed me something: the power of knowledge.
Learning is an act of self-empowerment!

Each time we absorb new knowledge, we don't merely add to what we know 👉 The old passes through the lens of the new: acquires new meanings or become obsolete.

✨ Every time we learn something new and then we practice it enough to make it part of who we are, we experience a fundamental reorganization of our entire being.

💜 Learning is expanding. It's a deeply transformative process that creates space for growth and deeper understanding.

The journey is not so much about mastering poses (this is a consequences that comes with) but it's about the continuous cycle of learning and self-discovery.

This is what I believe in, and this is how I live my life. I teach from my Heart, and through each class, I aim to provide you with tools and insights to empower you and to experience the strength within you.

🩵 We grow and transform with each breath, each movement, and each new piece of knowledge.

I use to be a person with a lot of energy, doing thousands things at time, always saying yes, always carrying loads on my shoulders and leading the chariot. I realize now I wasn’t the charioteer… I was the horses 😅.

I still am a person with a lot of energy, even if these past months have been hard in terms of workload and honestly I’m quite arrived to the end of my rope. I teach yoga almost every day, I coordinate retreats for a retreat center (and this season has been crazy busy) and I’m social media specialist.

I feel overwhelmed, too busy for enjoying my time, not focus on my main life goals… But instead of letting anxiety prevail I’m actually treasuring the way I feel, because this is exactly how I don’t want to feel.

I know this is temporary and in a few weeks I’ll be back to have my time. But I learned a very important lesson for myself.

The last two years life gave me the same lesson again and again. Express my voice. Stand up for yourself. Set boundaries.

I struggled in the way but I did it, step by step, little by little. I’m proud of myself, I’m proud of how I built a life in a country where I did not know anyone when I arrived. It took me time but at the end I took my space.

And that made me think about all the challenges I overcome so far. If I look backward I always made it.
In a way or in the other we always make it. It may take more or less time, more or less struggle, more or less frustration, .. but at the end the river always flows to the ocean.

This is my message to you and to myself: set your standards high and go for what you desire, you’ll find a way.
It’s not going to be easy (or maybe it will for you 😅, I wish you that!) but be sure to keep walking down the path of your heart and not the one of your fears.

Last week I had the honor and the pleasure to teach a couple of yoga classes for retreat here in Costa Rica.

Jenny Ania is a beautiful soul and inspiring women and teacher. Her work is deep and rich. I really recommend to every woman who desires to deepen her connection with herself to go and check ‘s program.

I participate in a breath session lead by and believe me when I say it was life changing. During the session I arrived to places and emotions hidden into my body. An experience that reminded me of the plants medicine, but this time using “only” breath and.

Everything arrives when you’re ready they say. The day after while journaling the experience I had a breakthrough, a new knowledge unlocked, or actually an old one 😅 something that has always been there but I wasn’t able to see.

I’m amazed by how powerful and wonderful this experience has been. And this was only the beginning, now I have some work to do on myself.

In the meanwhile some pic of my experience with

Me teaching, with Jenny, the transformation card that 3 of us picked up 😱 (like really, that card was popping out again and again), with Gail and the last one is the beautiful group of women I had the pleasure to share with 💕👯‍♀️.

Thank you for inviting me in the circle ✨

How to ✨

They’re not the same! 👇👇

Both refers to range of motion: how far you can move or stretch a part of your body.
Active range of motion is the space in which you move a part of your body by using your muscles 👉 mobility.

Passive Range of Motion is the space in which a part of your body can move with help from an external force like gravity, a stretch strap yourself grabbing your foot,… or someone else physically stretching you 👉 flexibility.

Can you tell which pictures refer to active and which ones to passive? Do you train both?

As a teacher I find the hardest asanas are usually the basics. Students care less because “they are easy”, when truth is they are essentials for a safe practice.

Take upward dog: in this posture there are so many important details that need to be understood before moving safely to more advanced backbends.

How is your urdhva mukha svanasana? 🐶🙃

Classic but tricky. Triangle pose is one of the hardest “easiest” pose.

How to practice the yogic breath
👉 This is a balancing and calming pranayama. Increase your lung capacity and is one of my favorite breathing technique!

1️⃣ Start dividing the breath into 3 parts:
✨Abdominal or Diaphragmatic breath: focus on the full use of your diaphragm, expand your abdomen while lessening the movement of the ribcage.
✨Thoracic Breath: lessen the movement of your abdomen and expand your ribcage outwards.
✨Clavicular Breath: When ribs are expanded to maximum capacity keep breathing to the collarbone.

2️⃣ Imagine your lungs as a cup, and you’re filling this cup with water. You start from the bottom till the top. Same with your lungs! And your breath would be the water :) ☕️

👉 Inhale and first, allow the lower abdomen to expand, when the abdomen is full, allow the ribcage to expand outwards, when the chest is full, keep expand your ribcage upwards.

Take a pause with the breath in and then exhale the way back, from the top to the bottom. Relax the collarbone, then soften your chest and finally draw your bellybutton back towards the spine to expel all air from the lungs.

Take a pause with the breath out and then start again.

🙂 If you’re new to breathing technique, practice the three parts separately till you feel comfortable.
