YOGA EXPERIENCE  

Fra's yoga practice started 20 years ago, and it is rooted in the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition. Over time she explored other styles such as Jivamukti, Scaravelli, Integral Yoga, Yin, Yoga Nidra, and Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga Method.

 

These experiences have led to a more fluid and non-dogmatic dimension in both her practice and teaching of Yoga (Asana, Pranayama, Meditation and Yoga Nidra) rooted in her passion for the philosophy and holistic benefits of this ancient discipline. 

​

Fra worked for one of London’s leading Yoga Teacher Training schools, both on RYT-200 and RYT-500 hour courses, where she has also written and delivered advanced modules in Yoga Philosophy, Asana and Yoga Nidra.

LIFE

After practicing Kung-Fu and Tai-chi for years, Fra started the practice of Asthanga Vinyasa Yoga in her late 20’s, where she found her life path, continuing her journey beyond physical practice into self-discovery, on and off the mat.

 

This exploration also informed her creative practice as a photographer as well as her teaching of Art and Design working, for over 15 years, with teenagers excluded from mainstream education and facing challenging circumstances in South East London. Fra moved back to Italy in December 2021 for a new chapter of her life.
