I'm Stefania, a certified Yoga teacher (YTT Jason Crandell Yoga Method) and a Yoga Alliance member. I'm based in the Tuscan hills near Pisa. I've been practicing different styles of yoga for more than 23 years and I can now say that my passion lies in Vinyasa yoga — I'm fascinated by how the physical discipline interweaves with its meditative essence, creating a practice that nurtures both body and mind. As an avid traveller myself, I understand what it means to seek balance while exploring new places. I'm fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, so we can practice in whichever language feels most natural to you. I'm also an AIS certified sommelier and I'm happy to recommend the perfect local wine to complement your Tuscan experience. I also offer professional interpreting services for visitors to Tuscany.
