I have been teaching yoga since 2009 every Summer Season – back from my studies in India – mostly in Calabria South of Italy but also in London, Los Angeles, Queenstown NZ and Ibiza.

In 2016 I founded the Shala Mandala in Calabria, a Summer Mysore program that has been supported by Level 2 Authorized and Certified teachers from the KPJAYI Institute in Mysore, India: Susanna Finocchi, Elena De Martin, Gabriele Severini, and Ken the Rolfer.

In 2019 I was authorized Level 1 to teach the Ashtanga yoga method by my Guru Sharath Jois and assisted him at Sharath Yoga Center.

In 2020 I moved to New Zealand where I have practiced and assisted Certified teacher Peter Sanson in his Shala in Napier consequently, I taught in Queenstown, until 2022. 

My path in the practice of Aṣṭāṅga has been a path dictated by inner and spiritual research.

We come to the practice in silence, accompanied by breathing, and in the same way, we learn, in silence.

I have received this knowledge of Yoga through the sheer generosity of my teachers and Gurus, for this reason, Shala Mandala does not look for notoriety so the “ratio” here is to deepen our sadhana, through concentration, dedication, and devotion.
