Where are you from/where do you live?
I am Italian based in Oslo, Norway.
How did yoga come into your life?
I started practicing yoga for the first time when I was 15, back when I was studying dance in London. Since then, no matter where I’ve been in the world, I’ve always found a studio or a corner to roll out my mat.
But yoga really became part of my life after I got injured and had to stop dancing professionally. I felt like I had lost everything—my path, my identity, my life and job. But in that moment, something inside me just said: practice.
So, I did. And I haven’t stopped since.
It’s been 10 years now. Yoga has been there for me every single day—through change, through healing, through pregnancies and motherhood, through becoming someone new
When did you realize you were hooked on yoga?
I think I got hooked on yoga right away without even realizing it. I just kept going back… and then back again.
But it was when I started practicing daily that something shifted. I noticed how different my day felt without it. Everything felt a little heavier, a little less clear.
Why do you practice?
I practice yoga to feel myself. When I’m on my mat, moving and flowing, everything just makes more sense. Things feel clearer, calmer, lighter.
Movement has always been my language, but yoga gave it depth. Finding my own way to flow made everything more meaningful and real. It’s where I reconnect, reset, and remember who I am.
Why do you teach?
When I got injured and everything felt dark, yoga was what pulled me through. I remember thinking—if I can help even one person feel what this practice made me feel, it will all be worth it.
That’s why I started teaching. And honestly, it’s still why I do it.
Every time a student tells me that a class made their day better, or helped them feel stronger, more free, more at home in their body, that’s everything to me.
I teach to help people feel like the best version of themselves. Because that’s what yoga gave me.
Tell us about your yoga community.
My community honestly amazes me every day. I have a big online following, which still feels surreal to say, and such a warm, connected in-person group.
My students are open, curious, funny… many of them have become some of my closest friends. They show up ready to move, ready to be challenged, and they do it all with a smile.
What really moves me is watching how their practice evolves, how they embody movement in deeper ways as I grow and shift in mine. That reflection is everything.
And something I never expected: even as my style becomes more fluid, more feminine, I still have so many men in class. It’s such a beautiful reminder that strength and softness aren’t opposites; they belong together. That energy feels so refreshing and real.
What’s your favourite yoga pose?
That’s a hard one… but if I had to choose, I’d say spinal waves. I always come back to them. There’s something about the way they move energy and fluid through the body that instantly connects me to myself.
Wild Thing and Low Lunges are close seconds. There’s freedom, strength, and softness in both. But spinal waves… they’re like a reset button for my whole system
