I’m half Italian & half Moroccan, but i’ve never actually ever lived in either…until now.
On August 14 2011 I got on a plane (one-way ticket), destination: Milan, Italy.

I was living in London for 11years working in the media, when made the life-changing decision to move to Italy and focus on turning yoga into my new career.

I have been practicing yoga since 2000…a passionate yogi and traveler, I’ve tried pretty much all types of yoga – from Bikram & Hot yoga, to Kundalini, Hatha, Anusara, Restorative, Jivamukti, Iyengar, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vinyasa Flow, Aerial Yoga, Yin, Dharma & lastly, Rocket Yoga!

I enjoy the calming and relaxing side of yoga as much as the challenging side and firmly believe that it should be fun and done with a smile.

I began my yogic journey 21 years ago when i first stepped into a yoga class at a Fitness First taught by Swami Nirmal – she inspired me and can be considered as the initiator of my deep love for yoga. I was later a student of Alexa Kho and went to her Anusara classes and workshops. I then realized that i needed to do my teacher training course, a course that i had put off since 2000. And that is when i met the lovely and amazing Rebecca Ffrench, the Boss at YogaLondon. Who i later found out, also to be a student of Larry Schultz’s!!!!

After my teacher training, i knew !

Over the past years i have had the honor to meet and attend various workshops hosted by some world renown teachers such as Stewart Gilchrist, Shiva Rea, John Scott, Sharath Jois, Danny Paradise,  Lino Miele, Kino MacGregor, Yogi Kamal Singh, Sri V. Sheshadri, Rolf & Marci Naujokat, Eddie Stern, Chuck Miller, David Swenson, Meghan Currie, Shana Mayerson, M S Viswanath (Masterji), Ramesh Sheety, Day Christensen, Vinay Kumar, Celest Pereira, Ambra Vallo, Tamara Campos, Carmen Aguilar, Petri Räsäinen, Patrick Beach, Carson Clay Calhoun & Talia Sutra just to name a few.

All of these experiences led me on an eagerly awaited trip to India, taking part in a 200hr Ashtanga Vinyasa TTC with Yogi Kamal Singh at “Tattvaa Yogashala” in Rishikesh, India. At the end of the course, my journey took me to Mysore & Goa where i practiced Shri V. Sheshadri  & with Rolf e Marci Naujokat, respectively.

The fast pace nature of Vinyasa Flow & Ashtanga led me to discover the amazing world of Rocket Yoga taking part in over 10 TTCs with David C Kyle, (assisting 12 TTs, and hosting 4 TTs in Milan) achieving the title of Rocket Teacher Level 3 e Rocket Mentor. I now teach my own Rocket Yoga TTCs in Italian all over Italy (Rome, Milan, Reggio Emilia), as well as travel around Italy to teach workshops & retreats. I have dedicated the past 8 years in slowly building & creating our very own little Italian Rocket Yoga community, and continue to do so with the help of my students and theirs.

My exploration and love for yoga in all of its forms continues with regular trips to india where i practice with Vijay Kumar (Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga) & his older brother Vinay Kumar (pranayama).

At the end of 2019 i met what is now my Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher, Marcello Leoni who is guiding me through the Advanced Series A. Forever grateful for his knowledge & understanding of the practice, experience & nature.

I’d like to thank all of my past, present & future teachers, for i wouldn’t be where i am now.

Jai!
