This section of the site—and, honestly, the whole idea of having one—brought up a lot of resistance and hesitation in me. But finally, after years of back and forth, I decided to go for it.

Because, yes, I don’t like talking about myself, I don’t like being in the spotlight, and I definitely don’t enjoy seeing myself (I always think I look terrible in photos!). I’m fairly anti-social (even though I love being around people), and I find what others have to say far more interesting; there’s always something to learn from other perspectives. And the need to define myself? I find definitions and labels limiting and often judgmental.

I was a curious, lively, and wise child, to the point that my teachers often asked my advice or thoughts on classroom matters—something that came naturally to me, as I was used to observing, stepping back, and watching from a distance. I often feel like a “raging river,” wanting to do so many things—maybe too many. I have a wide range of interests, dive into multiple projects, and get swept up in an endless enthusiasm that eventually scatters my focus (and exhausts me!). But with yoga, it’s been different.

Yoga has been my companion through various stages of life; we grew together, and even when I thought I had “lost” it, I always found my way back. It felt like coming home. I began practicing at Carlo Patrian's school in Milan in the '90s. During my pregnancies, I was drawn to Kundalini Yoga, which I continued over the years with my teacher and dear friend Barbara Volpi. My survival instincts and interest in the therapeutic power of holistic disciplines eventually led me to become certified as a “Restorative Yoga Teacher” at Audrey Favreu’s school (TT40). My decision to teach “Restorative Yoga” came at a unique time—a period of deep physical and emotional pain that forced me to slow down, reset my priorities, look inward, relearn how to breathe, and ultimately help both myself and others in pain. What began as a self-healing process became the starting point of a journey toward conscious growth, marked by a strong desire to create, share, wonder, and appreciate beauty.

My training continued with Ambra Vallo’s Hatha Raja Yoga teacher training course (TT250PLUS), where I became certified, and I later pursued teacher training at the Arhanta Yoga Ashram in the Netherlands for Vinyasa Yoga (TT50) and Yin Yoga (TT50). My humble, curious approach to yoga drives me to keep learning, studying, challenging myself, and attending courses and seminars with mentors such as Alessandra Martin, Ambra Vallo, Audrey Favreu, Patrick Beach, Diego Manzi, and Omanand Gurujii. I teach a style of yoga that is spontaneous, respectful, rooted in tradition, yet with a touch of creative freedom. My classes are multi-level and designed to help everyone express themselves physically and feel comfortable.

As for me, I can’t stand injustice, superficiality, violence in any form, people who shout for no reason or need to be the constant center of attention, sweeping generalizations, the gradual loss of critical thinking, bad taste in any form, stinginess, negative influencers, cling film (it sticks to everything!), passwords and their endless demands, and dependency on technology, which often catches me off guard.

And the things I love? There are so many that this page couldn’t hold them all! I could spend hours just watching the sea.
