My Story

... When I suffered from depression and anxiety.

I discovered the healing power of yoga in my teens when I suffered from depression and anxiety, as I stumbled upon my first copy of the Bhagavad Gita. That was the beginning of my journey.

.... In the company of gurus, sadhus, mystics and ascetics.

Over the years I have immersed myself in the company of gurus, sadhus, mystics, and ascetics in Thailand, Bali, Nepal, Bhutan, and India.

I have sat in sacred ceremonies, meditated in ancient temples, lived in Ashrams, fasted, prayed, chanted, read, and studied eastern and esoteric traditions from a variety of lineages.

I am passionate about merging my love for the traditions of eastern philosophies and Hindu mythology with the western style and practice of yoga.

Originally from Italy, I moved to the USA in my 20s to begin a career as a flight attendant. After raising four children I left a comfortable life behind and moved to an Indian Ashram to deepen my own spiritual practice.
