Scaravelli-inspired Yoga Workshops

I offer yoga workshops that blend evidence-based movement science with Scaravelli-inspired principles, drawing from over two decades of teaching experience. These workshops invite you to explore how your unique neurological makeup and skeletal structure shape movement. Moving beyond traditional pose-based practices, I focus on functional movement and modern body mechanics while honouring Vanda Scaravelli’s transformative insights into the body’s natural intelligence. Through mindful practice, engaging discussions, and hands-on exploration, I create a space for sustainable, holistic growth that makes yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical ability.

Why Do Some Yoga Practices Feel Effortless While Others Feel Strained?

If you’ve ever felt like some poses just don’t feel right, you’re not alone. Many yoga students experience:

  • Tension or discomfort in certain postures, without understanding why.
  • Feeling stuck in repetitive movements without real progress.
  • Confusion over whether they’re doing a pose ‘right.’
  • Injury or strain from pushing beyond their limits.
  • Frustration with rigid instructions that don’t work for their body type.
  • Why some movements feel good, others not so.

Yoga’s journey is one of innovation and adaptation—from Indian visionaries like Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda, who introduced yoga to the West, to the Mysuru Asana revival of the 1920s and 30s, which shaped modern postural yoga. Today, our evolving understanding of movement and anatomy continues to influence how we practice. Read more.

“Yoga is not about discipline or obligation—it’s an invitation to play. To twist, stretch, and move for the sheer joy of it. A body holiday, a meeting of earth and sky in the same moment.” — Inspired by Vanda Scaravelli.
