Wisdom lives in the body breath and earth remembered through yoga
The Early Chapters: Movement and Seeking
Born Italian. I moved restlessly through childhood, drawn to art that lives in space and time. I studied Drama and Theatre Arts at Goldsmiths. As a white European woman, I recognise the privilege of crossing borders, a privilege denied to so many.
After university, I worked in film. Coordinating international shoots felt like success. But I was constructing versions of myself further and further from truth.
It took recognising the unsustainability of that path to see its gift. Every decision, every constructed self, was bringing me closer to what is aligned. Through radical acceptance, not condemnation of that chapter, I became accountable to my own becoming.
The restlessness wasn't a mistake. It was the thread calling me home.
Skill in action is YOGA.
The same thread runs through classical Indian dance, through every culture I've encountered: pranava, the eternal hum beneath all becoming. What anchors me: presence, breath, and the body as a vessel for truth.
As a yoga teacher rooted in the Himalayan Tradition, I create spaces where all bodies are honoured, and all stories matter. I guide students toward integration, not escape, through breath, asana, and the radical act of showing up as you are.
The Long Wandering: Folding Into Humility.
I moved through Milano, Iceland, and the Canary Islands, seeking a life anchored in slowness. But when financial hardship arrived, I found myself folding clothes in a shop. The ego resisted. The friction was heavy.
Yet, stripped of titles and constructed identities, the practice demanded something else. Returning to the mat was no longer about seeking peace; it became a necessary discipline. The mat is the training ground where we forge a sacred relationship with sacrifice and devotion.
In the humbling, quiet repetition of folding clothes, the breath returned. Not as a grand awakening, but as an act of surrender, a devotion to doing the work, exactly as it is.
These teachings aim to unveil the veils of avidya (ignorance) and return to the truth already within. Yoga is the point of contact between inner world and embodied life.
Following Patañjali's invitation to curious investigation rather than striving, asana becomes a mirror, not a destination.
Whether the body reaches the feet in paschimottanasana or simply the thighs, the practice asks: where can concentration turn inward? This inquiry dissolves the strain and frustration that arise when chasing an "end goal.".
Philosophy & Vision: Coming Home to What Already Exists
Through hatha, mantra, bhakti, and Ayurveda, we practice ahimsa toward ourselves and our conditioning. We study the kleshas that obscure our nature. We listen, especially to voices too often silenced in yoga spaces.
What is offered: a deepening relationship with the breath as a gateway to innate intelligence, where wholeness unfolds.
Established in steady wisdom, one moves beyond attachment to both success and failure. Therefore, remain rooted in yoga, for yoga is the art of skillful action.
Skill in action is YOGA.
- Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 50
The Essence of This Life
I am still a wanderer, but I've learned to wander consciously. I've lived many lives, held many identities, chased many versions of success. Each was a lesson.
But none of it matters except this: the breath. That eternal vibration beneath all becoming.
In learning to listen to it, I learned to listen to you. In learning to trust it, I learned to trust the sacred space we share when we practice together.
The journey continues. Now I walk at times awake, at times conditioned, yet present, humble before the mystery, authentic in surrendering to joy.
