I started yoga in 1987, took Introductory Certificate in 1992 and Intermediate 3 Certificate in 2003. I have been teaching yoga in Edinburgh and Rome for the last 23 years. I moved from Rome to Edinburgh in the late 1980s and in many ways the Edinburgh Iyengar Yoga Centre became my adoptive home. There I found the friendly support and the warmth I was missing from Italy. I am very grateful to have met and studied there with so many talented and inspiring teachers. I could hardly function without yoga and my lovely daughter Chiara, as they both give me roots, meaning and purpose of life.
