I started teaching yoga in 2009 and have been teaching full-time since 2012, offering a gradual and safe approach to dynamic yoga. I have been trained to pay close attention to the long-term effects of asanas (yoga poses). My training includes three Yoga Alliance registered teacher trainings (one 200-hour TT and two 300-hour TTs), two of which were completed at Ashtanga Yoga Paris, where I remain a lifelong student, and one focused on an evidence-based structured practice for complex trauma survivors. I have also completed several continuing education courses, a 1,600-hour Alexander Technique teacher certification (Étapp, Apta, Stat), as well as specialized training in yoga anatomy and trauma-informed practices, including yoga for eating disorders.
I built my expertise primarily in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, but also taught Vinyasa flow, aerial yoga, asana technique, and the Alexander Technique in my hometown of Milan, Italy. I have worked with both private and corporate clients, as well as with yoga and fitness studios.
I moved to New York City at the end of 2021, where I became certified as a TCTSY (Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga) facilitator, BodyArt facilitator, and as an Accessible Yoga teacher. In New York, I taught primarily power yoga. Coming from a background focused on injury prevention, accessibility, and inclusivity, adapting to an environment that emphasizes intensity was an unexpected but valuable experience. This experience provided a platform for applying my knowledge, helping me understand how to create accessibility and inclusivity, even when working with varying levels of intensity. I moved back to Milan in 2025.
I have a background in data science, with experience in social research and a specialization in the sociology of health and non-conventional medicine. I am dedicated to promoting the inclusivity and sustainability of yoga practices from a movement-based perspective and through a trauma-informed lens. I am also critically aware that the conflation of yoga philosophy and professional ethics in the yoga industry is limited and think critically about modern yoga.
I teach both in person and online, through live-streamed and on-demand classes, in Italian (my native language), English, and French.
