Since 2009, each summer has called me back to Calabria, in the South of Italy, where I share the wisdom and experiences gathered from my time in India. It’s a quiet homecoming, offering private and group classes in Ashtanga Yoga Mysore style—set against the serene backdrop of Calabria’s beaches.

In 2016, the dream of creating Shala Mandala Calabria began to take shape—a dedicated space for summer practice. Supported by Authorized teachers from KPJAYI, such as Elena De Martin, Susanna Finocchi, Gabriele Severini, Ken the Rolfer, and more recently Kirsten Berg, we cultivated a humble yet profound community rooted in the simplicity and depth of the Ashtanga method.

During the 2018/19 study season, I had the immense honor of receiving Authorization Level 1 to teach from my Guru, Sri R. Sharath Jois, and the privilege of assisting him in the Shala during the early morning batch of practitioners.

My journey then brought me to New Zealand, where I spent two years practicing and assisting alongside Peter Sanson, a Certified teacher whose wisdom continues to guide me. During this time, I had the privilege of teaching in Queenstown, sharing what I’ve learned at the local Ashtanga Shala and co-founding a new space, Wairua Yoga, at Jacks Point.

Over the years, I’ve been teaching in Italy, Ibiza – Spain, the USA, in India, always striving to stay close to the essence of yoga. Whether through the Ashtanga tradition, Goenka Vipassana, or the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism and Tibetan Buddhism, my journey has been one of quiet exploration—trusting that the practice itself illuminates the way forward.

The blessings of this path have come through the generosity of my teachers. And so, I continue—moving with the breath, in silence, learning, and living in the quiet grace of this practice.
