About this Retreat
Your Guides
Manuela - Yoga Teacher
Born in Puglia, Italy, Manuela discovered yoga in 2006 during a period of study in Germany. Since then, yoga has been the guiding thread of a journey that led her to practice across different countries, cultures and traditions, under the guidance of international teachers.
Among the many styles explored, it was in Vinyasa and Jivamukti Yoga that she found her home - dynamic and fluid practices that allow the body to move in harmony with the breath turning each sequence into a moving meditation.
in 2014, she moved to Bologna and continued her training with Vinyasa Yoga Bologna, participating in workshop with renowned international teachers. In 2019, she depended her practice with a Teacher Training at Sangye Yoga School in London, led by Cat Alip- Douglas.
