Hey, I'm Alessia!
A Lighthearted Yoga Teacher & Prop Advocate
I am originally from Italy but currently based in Melbourne where I share my passion for alignment yoga and meditation in the vipassana tradition.
My practice, as well as my teachings, are honest and bare; I am not one for "the fluff". Alignment for me is a tool to cultivate mindfulness, impact the nervous system and gain long-lasting benefits from every single practice. I love working with yoga props as they can help students find more space, freedom and stability in each posture, while also providing endless learning opportunities.
Students appreciate my sense of humor and detailed cuing. I am often told my classes are challenging but deeply rewarding and transformative.
Besides yoga I love the outdoors and have a passion for movement, particularly hand balancing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu (I hold a purple belt with Absolute MMA St Kilda).

Absolutely love Alessia’s classes. I always feel so calm, relaxed and grounded. Each week I look forward to something new that is a mixture of simple and tough. Alessia has taught me the importance of mindfulness and creating awareness of the body not only in practise, but in everyday. Highly recommend her classes.”

Alessia's classes are always different and exciting but still balanced with traditional asana. She provides an opportunity to expand our practice by just allowing us to try advanced poses with encouragement We have a few laughs but work hard and that's what makes it fun."
