Gloria was born in Italy, and for the past 11 years she has been working in London as a midwife.In 2018, unable anymore to find happiness on her daily life, going through periods of highs and lows, she decided to give Yoga a go and went on a Yoga&Meditation retreat in Cambodia: well, that was love at first sight. The encounter was so transformational for her that since then, she made yoga and meditation her new way of living.
Being a former gymnastic meant for Gloria to see a very fast improvements on her physical practice: initially she tried all the different yoga styles, but her energy was particularly resonating with the Rocket practice.
Trained initially in Vinyasa and Ashtanga, Gloria finally got into her first Rocket Training in 2022 (both trainings had to wait for 2 years to happen due to the pandemic)
Seeing the positive impact that Yoga had in her life, made Gloria wanting to share her knowledge to transform lives, one person at a time.
Since then, the learning process never stopped, eager to acquire new skills and deepening her own practice: the idea behind this quest is simple, “Support the community with the tools you have, release good energy into the World, support its healing, and by doing that, receive positivity and good energies in return”
With this philosophy in mind, she started dipping her toes into different healing modalities. Gloria is an Alchemy of Touch practitioners, trained in Deep tissue, fascia and visceral massage, to bind massage with yoga and bring a new energy into her classes.
She also recently qualified as Sound Healing Practitioner.
Soon to certify in Yin Yoga and Pregnancy yoga, given her background as a midwife.
