Started practicing yoga and meditation in India in 1990. When I moved to Denmark, I was introduced Iyengar Yoga, which I practiced regularly. I took many in-depth courses and have taken a 3 year training (certified in 2003). In 1996, I met Ashtanga Yoga, which was a huge experience as I saw in this yoga form a great potential, both physically and mentally. Since then, Ashtanga Yoga has been my way of life. I met the yoga master, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 2002 in London, and subsequently went to India for Ashtanga Yoga's source Mysore many times and obtained permission to teach(kypaji 2010). I was the first to...

Through my training in various yoga traditions, I have developed my own practice that puts the student at the center. Throughout my time in Denmark, I have influenced many students to ...

I started practicing yoga more than 25 years ago. From the beginning I was fascinated by Scandinavian Yoga (the Danish branch of the Bihar School of Yoga). I love the meditative and philosophical approach to yoga, but also the idea that yoga is a practice that makes us better at living life and having a good time; to use ourselves optimally for the benefit of ourselves and others. In retrospect, I completed several educations and workshops; primarily...
I came across ashtanga yoga by accident in 2002, but it was love at first sight - and since ashtanga yoga has been a solid and indispensable part of my life. It amazes me time and time again how yoga can always challenge me both physically and mentally. Yoga keeps me moving at the same time as it is a solid base which gives me peace, tranquility and a foothold in an otherwise often somewhat busy everyday life. My first teachers were Tanja Schøndorff and Miles Ratledge in Aarhus. From 2013 to 2020, I have been associated with Ashtanga Sadhana under the expert guidance of Rikke Olesen and Anne Scharling Rasmussen, and for the last three years I have taught mysore yoga there. In 2019, I completed teacher training with Lucy Crawford Scott, who is my primary teacher and source of inspiration.
I was born and raised in Italy but in 2013, I began travelling around the world. My interest in yoga started in Australia, where an injury forced me to find a way to recover. This is when yoga started to tranform my life. Since then I have been on a journey experimenting different styles and practices of yoga. I was lucky enough to learn from several great teachers during my stay in Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. During my first stay in India, I started to realize that yoga was more than a physical exercise. It started to change my vision and understanding of the world, it’s been a continuous growing and learning process on and off the mat, which has lead to a strong desire to share my experiences. In 2018 I decided to take my first official education in yoga...
