ABOUT ME

The Art of Transforming Your Life

Yoga with Emma was born from my personal journey to create positive change after overcoming challenging physical, emotional, and mental experiences. Driven by curiosity, my yoga practice focuses on the creative transformation of your life, starting with the mat. Through mindful movement, we purify and detoxify the mind-body system, helping you regain energy, vitality, mental clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. I teach from the heart, guiding you to achieve emotional balance, personal growth, and a deeper connection with yourself. Whether you’re seeking healing or empowerment, my approach supports your holistic transformation.

The Toolbox: Tools for change

I offer the same tools that helped me find strength and motivation. A true toolbox that includes:

  • Yoga andMeditation
  • Ayurvedic Massages
  • Family and Systemic Constellations
  • Somatic Intuition: Somatic Release and Inner Tuning

In this space, everything is felt and lived intensly. There’s a chemical reaction, an alchemy, where hard times become fertile ground for changing. The mind calms down, tensions melt away and the released energy becomes strong will and consistency.

Human Mandala and Heart Over Head

My path of Spiritual Growth began in 2011, thanks to my first teacher, Roberta Pagliani, who passed on to me her love forAnusara Yoga andTraditional Hatha Yoga of Tantric tradition. In 2014, under her guidance, I met Dr. Marco Massignan and Elena Dell’Orto, with whom I completed the training in Family and Systemic Constellations. Questo approccio sistemico integra pratiche di risoluzione dei traumi attraverso il rilascio corporeo.

Later, I continued my training at Hari-Om International School of Yoga and Mixed Martial Arts, where besides my two years yoga teacher training I learned from Rossella Pluda, how to adapt yoga practices for children, making yoga accessible and engaging for young practitioners. During my own journey into motherhood, under the guidance of Federica Saguatti and Elisa Fantini, I gained skills to create inclusive practices tailored for individuals with limited mobility as well as for women in prenatal and postpartum stages, ensuring accessibility and support for a diverse range of physical abilities and needs.

Emanuela Genesio introduced me to QiYoga, while Max Monti (a direct student of Osho) ignited in me an enthusiasm for meditation in all its forms. My passion for Natural Movement and inversions was born thanks to Tiziano Dimattia and Emanuela Romano.

I found joy of life and love in movement withAcroyoga thanks to Paola Stropeni and Jason Crandell guided me in the art of Vinyasa Sequencing. Da From Uma Dinsmore-Tuli I learned how to respect and live in harmony with the Feminine Cycles, while with Tina Massariello I delved into the practice of conscious cyclicality and the awakening of feminine spirituality, exploring how to align with natural rhythms and honor the cycles within the body and mind. This journey allowed me to embrace and support the unique phases of feminine energy, deepening my understanding of cyclical wisdom and intuitive practices that nurture self-connection and empowerment.

I deeply believe that we are breath, we are change, we are Nature in constant motion. In times of joy and difficulty, especially after childbirth, Nature, Lake Garda, tuning in with my body and breath, meditation, and trust in a bigger picture have sustained me and continue to do so.

Over time, my practice has become slower, my meditation deeper, and my soul-searching has intensified. My message of light stems from the belief that, after each practice, we are like a Human Mandala: each of us radiates our own light and rays, which expand to others and to the world. On this journey, the discovery ofsomatic intuition – that deep listening of our inner essence – gives us clarity, guidance and a sense of belonging to the Whole.

Samadhi, the ultimate goal of yoga and spiritual practices, invites us to return to our center, find our true identity and align with ourselves. This Human Mandala, this radiating of light and hope, is what I bring to the mat every day and share with anyone who chooses to take this path.

"YOU CANNOT CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL YOUR REACTIONS TO WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU."

Brian Tracy

I have a dedicated focus on supporting women, including new mothers, individuals with reduced mobility, and caregivers who devote themselves to others. If you’re navigating a challenging time or caring for someone in need of constant attention, reach out to me. I offer inclusive, compassionate spaces designed to provide relief, support, and restoration for those facing unique physical or emotional challenges.

Tell me about yourself and let’s breathe!

Movement starts from within, from the breath, teaches you to listen and align with Self, strengthens your willpower and concentration, helps you develop discipline and self-control. We explore on the mat and then bring into everyday life our full potential, in the possibilities of our current range of motion and time beyond.

In this journey, we uncover new inner resources, gaining a deeper awareness of our vast potential. We come to recognize how profoundly cyclical and interconnected we all are, and it becomes a true gift to experience ourselves as part of this expansive, universal rhythm together.

"WITH THE PRACTICE OF MEDITATION YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT YOU HAVE A PORTABLE PARADISE IN YOUR HEART."

Cyclicality

CONSCIOUS CYCLICALITY

This journey is about all of us; as humans, we are deeply interconnected with everything around us. We are part of a vast, cyclical matrix that encompasses every being on this planet—and beyond. We are living ecosystems, open to the world, attuned to the rhythms of Nature within and around us. We flow with the cycles of the seasons, the transitions in the wheel of the year, the movements of the Earth, Moon, and planets. For women, this connection extends to the four phases of the menstrual cycle, mirroring the rhythms of the lunar cycle.
