Davide Felicella

Certified Rocket® Vinyasa Teacher

Keeping the body active has been fundamental for Davide since he was 12 years old and he started break-dancing for the first time. The life changing effect of the stamina that it gave to his physical body developed into a visceral understanding of the importance of the physical=psychological/mental health connection. At that early stage of his life, he became aware of the role that the connection between body, mind and spirit plays for the well being of the individual.

 

Following a knee injury in 2015, he decided to expand his interests and dedicated himself to the study of Yoga, manual therapies, physical movement, anatomy and physiology. Since then he has experimented with a variety of disciplines, sports and styles in the realm of physical movement.

 

His current yoga practice is based on the Progressive Ashtanga Vinyasa

(aka Rocket System) and Yin Yoga. Both practices are essential to him as

he appreciates the value of the dynamic and non-dogmatic approach of Rocket yoga and the importance of alternating this fast practice with a slow and rejuvenating Yin yoga session.

Among the beautiful souls he has met on his path, David Swenson, David Kyle, Leon London and Norman Blair have been his main references over the past years and they continue to inspire him today along with other incredible teachers.

Manual therapy has also played an important role in his experience as it is an alternative approach for him to help people improve their well-being through the healing effect that physical touch provides.
