It has been quite a journey for me to discover my purpose in life. For years, I was constantly on the move—seeking new adventures, eager to meet new people, and explore different places. Yet, no matter where I went, and what I did, I carried an unshakable emptiness within me. A void I couldn’t seem to fill. I could feel it, quietly pulsing beneath the surface.

Everything began to shift when I committed to daily meditation and pranayama. Through consistent practice, I found clarity and a deep, lasting calm that slowly became the foundation of my daily life. I came to understand that no matter the circumstances, there was a peace within me that could not be touched.

Then came COVID-19. The world paused—and for me, it became an opportunity to go even deeper. I felt a growing urge to expand my knowledge of these ancient practices. In September 2020, I enrolled in an intensive 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course at YogaMea School in Misano Adriatico, Italy. That experience is etched in my heart. I’ll never forget the beautiful souls I met, the incredible teachers, and our guide, Timi—a light of inspiration for us all.

For an entire month, we lived like true yogis. We ate sattvic food, woke at dawn, and practiced meditation, pranayama, and asanas. We studied yoga philosophy and anatomy, learning not just about the physical body but how to support our future students with presence and care. It was a transformative time. When I returned to Rome, I felt completely changed—both empowered and humbled. I knew then that my journey with yoga was only beginning.

Soon after, I began sharing what I had learned. I started teaching yoga to friends and family, and eventually expanded to offering online and in-person classes. It brings me deep joy to see people connect with the practice, and fall in love with it.

As a teacher, I feel a continuous responsibility to grow, both personally and professionally. That’s why I chose to continue my education with a 50-hour YIN Yoga Teacher Training, which opened my eyes to the subtle layers of the body—the fascia, the connective tissues—and how, through stillness, we can release both physical and emotional tension.

Most recently, I had the immense honor of completing an advanced 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India—the spiritual heart of yoga—under the direct guidance of Swami Ji, Swami Sachidanand. This deeply immersive training enriched not only my teaching skills but also my inner connection to the path of yoga as a way of life. The experience was both humbling and expansive, and it marked another powerful turning point in my evolution as a practitioner and a teacher.

With all of this said, I want to end with something simple, but true: Yoga revealed that I wasn’t lacking anything—only a connection to my own heart.

Every day is a chance to start anew, to better understand yourself, and to learn how your body and mind operate. So, why not explore these beautiful and comprehensive tools of yoga that can assist you in this journey called life?
