While we often search for the destination, it’s in the journey that we learn so my journey, like most, started very different than how I anticipated it would turn out.
I started my professional career as a dancer at the age of twenty then I approached Gyrotonic because of a knee problem in 2007 and to improve flexibility.
I carried on an international performing activity dancing with ensemble of Imperial Russian Ballet, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, National Theater in Belgrade, National Opera of Olomouc, National Theater of Sibiu, etc. touring all over Italy, Spain, Serbia, Germany, Romania, Czech Republic, Japan, South Korea.
In March 2015, after have been practicing the Gyrotonic Method for about 8 years as a client, I started my journey to become a Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis instructor, studying in Rome with Pietro Gagliardi.
At the same time I started deepening my Yoga practice, reading more about body/mind connections and spiritual philosophy.
My enthusiasm, my desire to share these practices with others and the passion for travelling, led me to travel and share my passion in Asia, where I stayed for about a year: I fulfilled another of my childhood dream.
I was a successful Instructor in different fitness and pilates centers in Tokyo but I was unhappy: too much stress, inhumane working hours with the pressure to live in a society where only if you make lot of money you are successful.

While we often search for the destination, it’s in the journey that we learn so my journey, like most, started very different than how I anticipated it would turn out.
Born and raised in southern Italy, I started as a child studying music; because of my insecure character, I never imagined that one day, almost by chance, I would start dancing and that this “meeting” eventually would completely changed my life.
I dropped out of university because I felt this “path” imposed by society was not mine so I suddenly left my hometown, my family and moved to Rome in order to pursue my dream: become a dancer!
I was too determined to succeed, I was “feeling” it somehow; so I started my professional career as a dancer at the age of twenty and carried on an international performing activity dancing with ensemble of National Theater in Belgrade, Imperial Russian Ballet, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Wiener Volksoper, National Opera of Olomouc, National Theater of Sibiu, etc. touring all over Italy, Spain, Serbia, Germany, Austria, Romania, Czech Republic, Japan, South Korea.
I approached GYROTONIC® Method because of a knee problem in 2007 and to improve flexibility, then in 2015, after have been practicing constantly the GYROTONIC® Method for about 8 years, I started my journey to become a GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® instructor, studying in Rome with Master Trainer Pietro Gagliardi, who eventually became my mentor.
At the same time I started deepening my Yoga practice, reading more about body/mind connections and spiritual philosophy.
My enthusiasm, my desire to share these practices with others and the passion for traveling, led me to move and share my passion in Asia, where I stayed for about a year: at the age of 33 I fulfilled another of my childhood dream.
I was a successful instructor in different pilates and fitness centers in Tokyo, I was dancing and teaching ballet, I couldn't complain at all about my earnings and savings, but I was unhappy: too much stress, inhumane working hours with the pressure to live in a society where only if you make lot of money you are successful.
At that time work and money were the only things that matter: I was empty.
