yoga for life
just breathe
“The eight limb/path of Astānga Yogaḥ helps to open energy channels and starts the process of taking your energy up towards the attainment of Samādhiḥ which is where we find our consciousness centralised in the highest chakraḥ, the brahmāchakraḥ at the top of the head.
Like a portal to our Divine Self, once this is open, our knowledge is connected into the Universal knowledge and hence we realise Truth.”

Mind
Meditation is a mental training practice that teaches you to slow down racing thoughts.
Spirit
Becoming more aware of the present moment can help us enjoy the world around us.
Body
The body is of utmost importance for our holistic health as it is here that the mental and spiritual realms reside.
I am an Ashtangi, explorer, and Italian designer, weaving together the threads of sustainability and eco-design. Once immersed in the fast-paced worlds of London and Milan, collaborating with artists and designers, I felt the call of a deeper, more soulful path.
Today, my heart is devoted to the ancient practices of yoga and meditation. These sacred arts have become my compass, guiding me towards a life of awareness, peace, and inner connection. I believe in sharing this wisdom with those seeking to awaken their spirit and live in harmony with the world around them.

Astanga yoga
A life time practice
I began my journey in Ashtanga Yoga after years of studying traditional Hatha yoga in Italy and Varanasi, India. My path took a pivotal turn in 2012 when I attended a workshop with Denny Paradise at the Bali Spirit Festival, which sparked my deep connection to Ashtanga. Returning to London, I was fortunate to find my home next to Hamish Hendry’s Dharma Shala, my first teacher in this lineage.
Since then, I have practiced daily in Mysore classes with Hamish Hendry and, later, Noah Williams, both Advanced Certified by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Since 2016, I have spent months each year studying under Guruji Sharath Jois at KPJAYI and SYC in Mysore, as well as attending his workshops across the Himalayas, Europe, the UK, Thailand, and China.
When not in Mysore, I practice astanga seasonally with Sharmila Desai and I study in Varanasi, my spiritual home.
