Coach

I discovered my first Pilates lessons at the age of 16 during some workshops, while I was studying classical dance. Later, Pilates was introduced among my regular classes, and I began studying it at 20 while dancing in a company.
Fascinated by the Pilates method, I started my training with FIF (Italian Fitness Federation) in Ravenna to become an instructor, and at 25 I began teaching — something I have now been doing for 11 years!

What draws me to this discipline, and defines my approach, is the awareness that develops through practice. It’s like a form of meditation: there’s no time to think about anything else — you are completely focused, every movement must be performed with precision. The motion is intentional, never random, in order to be truly effective and deliver visible results.

It’s the perfect union of mind and body — it develops the body in a balanced way, strengthens the core, improves spinal alignment, corrects poor posture, and revitalizes both spirit and mind.

Pilates is suitable for everyone! I love observing my students and understanding which exercises to emphasize in order to correct imbalances or focus on what they most need to feel better.

I teach Pilates, Pilates Barre, and Dance at the following studios: Zodiac, Studio Danza Shana, Klab, and Fisiolab (formerly Urban Gym).

Coach

Born in 1970. After earning my diploma as a tourism expert with three languages, I worked for years in the tourism and fashion industries. However, my true passion has always been the study of body movement. After studying dance in many of its forms—from classical to jazz, modern, and Caribbean— in 2010 I began studying Hatha Yoga and later Ashtanga Yoga with Alessandro Ciaurri.

My formal training began with the study of Integral Yoga and meditation. I am a qualified Integral Yoga teacher with a specialization in Anukalana Yoga and meditation, certified by the Samadhi Yoga School in Florence. I hold a 500 RYT certification with a 250 RYT specialization in the Anukalana approach, recognized by Yoga Alliance, C.S.E.N., A.S.I., and U.I.S.P.

I also obtained a diploma at Samadhi under teacher Laura Mencherini in Thai Yoga Massage Level I, following the northern Thai tradition. My training is constantly evolving through the many workshops I attend.

My yoga classes are a meeting of souls, and it is with this spirit that I guide my students.
