About Me

I'm Natalia, an international yoga teacher originally from Brazil, now based in Northern Italy.

My journey began through movement. I spent many years studying and teaching classical ballet and contemporary dance, where I developed a deep understanding of the body, discipline and mindful movement. But it was yoga that completely transformed my perspective, not only on movement, but on life itself.

In 2013, I travelled to India to complete my Yoga Teacher Training at the Sivananda Ashram, where I immersed myself in the traditional teachings of yoga. It was there that I experienced yoga as it was originally intended: not simply as physical exercise, but as a complete system for living with greater awareness, balance and inner freedom.

This foundation continues to shape everything I teach today.

For me, yoga extends far beyond the practice of asana. My classes weave together movement, breathwork (pranayama), meditation and the timeless philosophy of yoga, creating experiences that nourish both body and mind. Rather than separating these practices, I believe they naturally support one another, allowing students to experience yoga as a holistic path rather than simply a workout.

Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of teaching internationally while living in Brazil, France, Singapore and now Italy. Along the way, I have worked with students from many different cultures, backgrounds and levels of experience. Living abroad has given me a unique perspective, allowing me to bridge Eastern wisdom with Western lifestyles in a way that feels practical, authentic and accessible.

Today, I teach private sessions, group classes, corporate wellness programmes, events and retreats throughout Italy. Whether I'm guiding a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, my intention is always the same: to create a welcoming space where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and discover that yoga is not about performance, but about awareness.

My retreats are a reflection of this philosophy. They combine traditional yoga practices with meaningful moments of connection, nature and authentic Italian experiences, offering space to pause, breathe and return to what truly matters.

Ultimately, I believe yoga is a lifelong journey of remembering who we already are, whole, peaceful and complete.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

What kind of yoga do I teach?
Vinyasa flow, Yin, Hatha, meditation, restorative

The term Vinyasa refers to the alignment of movement with the breath, so although you may hold poses for a few breaths, you’ll move from one pose to the next using inhalation and exhalation.

The beauty of Vinyasa Yoga is its variety. There is no standard sequence in Vinyasa Yoga, so the style, pace and intensity will all vary depending on the teacher and the practitioner.

Learning how to breathe and how to deepen the breath is one of the yogic techniques: it helps the mind to settle and the individual to be completely present in the practice.

In this sessions expect to move, to deepen your breath, to unblock your energetic channels, and to explore your body’s limits and strength, always listening and practicing Ahimsa: the principle of non violence.
