that's me
Get to know me
My passion for Yoga began even before I had a name for it. While living in India, I learned a form of Meditation called 'Trataka': fixing the gaze on a candle's flame, which provides a focal point to help clear the mind and find a sense of peace, connection and beyond. At the time all I knew was that it helped me relax as I felt so overwhelmed by living in a foreign country.
Many years later, Yoga found me again when I was not looking and experiencing a huge shift in my life, both personally and professionally, My yoga mat became my sanctuary where I would move, cry, explore and press pause and find myself again. By pure chance I was asked to lead a one-day retreat, and that's how the teacher in me emerged.
A passion for the natural world and the need to live more in harmony with it, is at the very heart of all my yoga offerings.

"I really like how Patrizia brings the seasons, reflections and intentions into the classes really building on the sense of connection between your body your mind and your environment. The classes are always calm non-judgmental open positive spaces and I always feel mentally, spiritually, and physically better for having attended."
"A passionate teacher who cares about wellbeing and supports you on your yoga journey. She encourages you all the time and gives you different options of doing the same pose, to adapt to your body. She is a generous person who really loves her calling and is always bringing mindfulness and positive energies with her. I started yoga with Patrizia a little over a year ago, and I love the impact it has into my life."
- Ana N.
"Patrizia supports all participants i her classes: people with disabilities, past injuries and older members like myself, to gain more movement in their joints to enable them in everyday life.
Throughout the class, Patrizia advises everyone to practice yoga to their own limitations and not to exerts themselves in case of injury.
Patrizia has a very caring, respectful personality, injected with a good sense of humour."
- Mrs n.
"I had told Patrizia I would attend her Spring Yoga Workshop but that morning I woke up with the start of a migraine.. I went, thinking to go back to bed afterwards. The yoga session was beautiful. Patrizia's calming voice and the lovely poses and mindfulness transformed the way I was feeling and I left completely re-energised and healthy. My mind, body and spirit uplifted and I continued my day. not in bed, but going for a lovely walk with my husband and dogs. The weekly classes are very precious and make me feel so much better."
