Natalia Garlippe YogA
international yoga instructor In Varese, Italy
I'm Natalia, an international yoga teacher 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 15 years, I have had the privilege of teaching internationally while living in Singapore, France, Brazil 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.

About Me
Teaching Styles
Vinyasa flow, Yin, Hatha, meditation, yoga Terapy
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa refers to the alignment of movement with the breath. Each practice flows from one pose to the next, guided by inhalation and exhalation. The beauty of Vinyasa Yoga is its variety. There is no fixed sequence, so the style, pace and intensity can adapt to the needs and experience of each practitioner.
Learning how to breathe and deepen the breath is an important part of the yogic tradition. It helps the mind settle, brings awareness inward and allows you to become fully present in the practice.
In my sessions, you can expect to move, deepen your breath, explore your body’s strength and mobility, and reconnect with yourself through mindful movement. Every practice encourages you to listen to your body, respect your own limits and cultivate Ahimsa, the yogic principle of non-violence.
Yoga Therapy
I also offer one-to-one Yoga Therapy sessions, tailored to each individual and their specific needs. These personalised practices may incorporate movement, breathwork, relaxation and traditional yogic techniques to support greater balance, body awareness and overall wellbeing.
Meditation, Breathwork & Other Practices
Alongside Vinyasa Flow, I offer Hatha and Yin Yoga, meditation and breathwork, creating practices that can be dynamic and energising, or slow, restorative and deeply calming. Each session is thoughtfully adapted to the individual, creating space to connect with the body, calm the mind and cultivate a deeper sense of wellbeing.
