The classes integrate all aspects of a traditional yoga class such as breath awareness, postures, sun salutations, and some creative flowing sequences. Both dynamic and relaxing my classes have been described as strong yet meditative. I have recently been volunteering teaching yoga at a hospital for people with mental health challenges, the transformation on the ward through yoga has been so amazing to watch and I'm really proud to have been part of such a rewarding project. I teach from the heart and can adjust to different types of people/levels.
In my spare time, I'm usually attending gong baths, hiking up hills and mountains, teaching at yoga retreats, traveling the world, om-ing it out at yoga festivals, dancing around to music and studying the astrological stars.

Letizia Ghisletta
Teaching in 2019 from 5th October to 19th.
I am a 500hr certified Yoga teacher (200hr Vinyasa Flow in 2014 with Mollie Morris McClelland and 300hr Traditional Hatha Yoga in 2018 with Ayuryoga Ashram in Mysore. I teach both Vinyasa flow & Hatha with a particular focus on the power of the breath. My classes include elements of philosophy, pranayama, kriyas, meditation as well as chanting. As a student of Yoga I am constantly studying and developing and I have just finished a 40hr teacher training with Suzanne Faith.
My way of teaching Yoga has been inspired by many teachers over the years from different traditions: Krishnamacharya, Ashtanga, Tantra and Sivananda. Besides focusing on studying Hatha Yoga (as in asana, pranayama, kriyas, meditation), I also started dedicating myself to Bhakti Yoga. I have recently finished my 200hr ‘Learn to lead Kirtan’ Teacher Training with the wonderful Nikki Slade, who deeply transformed me in my practice and enriched me as a teacher.
I am currently on a beautiful self-discovery journey with my mentor Lucy McCarthy and continue attending workshops and training to expand my practice and craft.
Vedic chanting is another passion of mine. I have the privilege to study that with my dear teacher Swami Prabodh Chaithanya.
I am extremely thankful to all my teachers who have been sharing their knowledge and experience with me over the years: Mollie McClelland, Lucy Crisfield, Carl Hargreaves, Lucy McCarthy, Nikki Slade, Swami Prabodh Chaithanya, Vinod Kumar and Suzanne Faith.
Namaste, my name is Letizia (Leti for everyone)!
I earned my 200hr Vinyasa Flow Yoga certification (Yoga Alliance Accredited) with Mollie McClelland Morris in London who helped me expand the experience of Yoga within me. Currently, I am in India where I am attending a 300hr Advanced Teacher training to deepen all aspects of Yoga and I look forward to sharing all the things that I’ll learn.
Over the years I met so many lovely teachers who made me love different aspects and styles of Yoga and taught me to really observe myself and go beyond the limitations of the mind experiencing expansion and getting closer to my Self. Thanks to them I have been expanding my self-practice as well as my teachings, bearing in mind that Yoga is a life-long journey that will never stop to bring wonder, magic, surprise and fulfilment to our life. The path to our Self.
I have been teaching both in London and Switzerland in different contexts: studios, private and public classes, corporates and Drama schools. Some of my present and past clients include: Mountview Academy, ArtsEd, Graze, DWF, Just Giving. Each context deeply connects me to my commitment to sharing Yoga so that everyone has access to this fantastic tradition and practice.
I am passionate about mindful movement and what really works for our body. Our body experiences different phases during our life and I am a big supporter of practicing Yoga in a safe space, where everyone can adapt their postures following their needs and limitations. Yoga is really for everyone, no one left behind.
To get a deeper understanding of the philosophy of Yoga, I have recently started deepening my study of Sanskrit, Yoga philosophy, Vedic chanting, and Mantras and I like integrating these aspects in my classes, to offer a full experience of Yoga. I find people are often looking for more than a physical practice and offering these precious teaching is just a way for me to share what brings me happiness and at the same time create a conversation around some aspects of Yoga that may not always be so popular.
Yoga is much more than just physical practice. It is a way of living, and that is why there is so much joy when I can share this with people of any background.
Another passion of mine is music. Both music and Yoga offer me access to my authentic Self and that is why I spend most of my singing, playing and practicing Yoga.

Federica Rossi
Federica will be teaching a mixed level class at Villa Roca / Pagoda Garden from 29th June to 13th July 2019
I first experienced yoga three years ago. At first, I was just curious and thought I could use it to complement my fitness routine (gym and pole dancing) – I saw it as nothing more than a series of postures and stretching exercises, which could help me develop strength and flexibility and increase muscular length. Because my initial approach was mainly physical, I chose to practice Ashtanga, which I found dynamic and engaging.
The more I practiced, the more I realized that yoga is something else. I learned the importance of breathing, understood the connection between breathing and movement, and discovered that practicing yoga opens our energetic channels as well as our minds, helping us to reach higher levels of consciousness. Physical exercise is just a way in which we access our spiritual dimension.
After practicing for two years, I decided to deepen my knowledge of Ashtanga by spending one month in Goa, India, to study and practice in a yoga school. My training included philosophy, anatomy, alignment, pranayama and meditation techniques. At the end of my month in India, I received the Yoga Alliance 200-hour certificate, which allows me to teach. Following my experience in Goa, yoga has become more than a physical practice for me. It’s become a state of mind, a way of living and interacting with the world.
Even though when I am on my own I practice Ashtanga, which gives me discipline and helps me to stay focused, I usually teach Dynamic Vinyasa flow classes (influenced by Ashtanga). I like Vinyasa Flow because it gives me the opportunity to use my creativity and focus on specific parts of the body.
The goal of my yoga classes is to guide people towards a healthy lifestyle, mental peace and a deeper level of physical fitness. It’s all about developing the body-mind-spirit awareness.
I am based in Milan, Italy, where I teach individuals and groups at both beginner and intermediate levels. For each of my classes, I plan and design integrated and balanced lessons that take into account my students’ experience, physical ability, and specific requests. Of fundamental importance is assisting them in postures, helping to find their perfect pose, always keeping their bodies safe during the practice.

Mascha Kuchejda
Teaching a mixed level ~ 2019 dates are 10th August to 24th. and again from 7th to 21st
September at Villa Roca and Pagoda Garden
To me, Yoga is a philosophy, a way of life and also a healing method for
body, mind, and soul.
I want to offer my students a way to strengthen their bodies, calm their
minds and create healing from within. I teach beginning, intermediate and
advanced students.
My life has brought me to Yoga eight years ago.
Apart from an anatomical focus and correct alignment in the asanas,
becoming more aware and existing in this world with an open heart is what
is important to me. I teach Yoga to communicate awareness and love, instead
of fear. Meditation and mindfulness - instead of hurry and greed.
I understand Yoga in the classic sense oft he Sutras as the interaction of all
the eight limbs and have been studying the yogic literature for a long time
now. I have been teaching Yoga in Milan, India, and California.
Recently, I have completed the advanced 500 hours of teacher training in
beautiful Agonda, India, where I could further deepen my teaching
experience in terms of anatomical focuses and connect to the great
spirituality of India.
My teaching styles reach from Vinyasa Flow too Low Flow and Yin. I am
happy to lead workshops both on condition based yoga, teach specific target groups and teach on philosophical and spiritual topics.
