Welcome to yoga with Margherita:

Yoga has been a constant part of her life for the last 14 years. She has been actively practising in the UK and Italy and has been exposed to Bhakty, Kriya, and Hatha Yoga. The main influences on her style of Hatha yoga are Vinyasa, Iyengar, Yin/Yang, Anusara and Parayoga® . She has studied with many of the world's leading yoga teachers doing workshops, retreats and trainings with the likes of Jivamukti, Shiva Rae, Donna Farhi, Adhil Palkhivalha, Richard Freeman, Tias Little, Sarah Powers and Doug Keller. She has been studying for several years with Rod Stryker and she consider him her main teacher. *

Drawing from the resources of different traditions, Margherita has a gentle yet powerful approach to yoga supporting the need of each individual. She enjoys being creative and experimental with her classes, working with a variety of themes, different sequences and a range of postures to help students deepen their practice and understanding.

Her style is a holistic approach to yoga that treats the whole person: body, mind and spirit, not only on the mat but in daily life. she incorporates asana (postures), pranayama (breath work), bandha (locks), mudras (body positions or attitudes of practice), kriya (internalization of energy to purify consciousness, laya (dissolving unwanted patterns of behavior), chakras (energy centers), kundalini (awakening dormant energy), visualization, self-reflection, chanting, meditation and mantra (sacred word). Under this style, a teacher is necessary as a guide to accelerate the journey. Her approach offers personal meditation practices designed to overcome life obstacles and bring about individual clarity and vitality. The centre of the practice is “Agni,” connection to the internal sacred fire that purifies the body and mind and grows power and capacity.

Margherita believes that everyone can benefit from yoga. Her yoga classes are designed for students of all ages and abilities, from those wanting to strengthen and stabilize to those needing relaxation, stress reduction and peace of mind. There are students who need to learn to breathe properly and those who are spiritual seekers. She believes that if you can breathe, you can do yoga and benefit from it.

Margherita teaches yoga classes at a number of venues in London and health clubs, renowned yoga centres such Alchemy (Chalk Farm), the Life Centre (in Notting hill and the first yoga centre in London!), she covers regularly at Triyoga Soho, and teaches privately. She mentors yoga teachers in training at Yoga Campus Teacher Training programme.  Margherita leads yoga retreats in the U.K & Italy and throughout the world.
