Yes, this was pretty darn cool….i had a photographer call me on Monday asking if i was free to take some pix whilst doing yoga for a story they were running nationwide on the Corriere della Sera newspaper (Italy’s biggest newspaper, page 36).
So on Tuesday another teacher friend, Maria Cristina Scarpa & i met up with the photographer, Duilio Piaggesi, at l’Arco della Pace, in Sempione Park and proceeded to doing a few sun salutes and asanas that we felt would work well and look good….a few days later the journalist, Stefano Landi, called me and asked me a few questions about teaching yoga in the park.
And the pic above is the end result.
So yes, with the arrival of Summer, longer & warmer days, the yoga summer sessions will soon be back! This will be the 3rd year i will be teaching yoga in different parks around Milan, making the most of the green spaces, trying to escape the urban setting and reconnecting with nature and ourselves š
Stay tuned for more info on start dates, times and locations….all will soon be revealed! š
Enjoy!

About ctyoga
Christiane has been practicing yoga for over 10 years. Her yogic journey began in 2000 as a student of Swami Nirmal (now at the Satyananda Centre in London) at the Fitness First gym in Kensal Rise, London. She experienced various teachers in different Fitness Firsts in Central London and around Clapham Junction before changing gyms and meeting Alexa Kho at LA FItness in Piccadilly Circus, London. Christiane attended Alexa's Anusara classes as well as her workshops.
In January 2011 she enrolls in a 200hr Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training course with Rebecca Ffrench at YogaLondon. Vinyasa Flow is a modern form of yoga that comes from Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and follows Sri K Pattabhi Jois. She quickly become passionate of this discipline and wants to deepen her knowledge; this brings her to meet and attend many workshops with Stewart Gilchrist, Shiva Rea, John Scott, Danny Paradise...all very famous teachers around the world. Being in the presence of such teachers is a significant experience for Christiane, in terms of her yogic journey, personal transformation and growth as well as understanding of yoga.
After 11years in London, she moves to Milan to deepen and continue her journey. In Milan she teaches privately (1:1 and group classes) as well as in various yoga and dance centers. Milan is where her love for Ashtanga Vinyasa deepens and grows, bringing her to attend workshops with Lino Miele, Sharath Jois and most recently Kino MacGregor...all original students of Guruji, Sri K Pattabhi Jois. All of this culminates with a long awaited and long overdue trip to India, the birthplace of Yoga. Here Christiane deepens her practice and knowledge of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga by doing a 200hr Ashtanga Vinyasa TTC with Yogi Kamal Singh at Tattvaa Yogashala in Rishikesh India. After the monthlong course, her travels take her around India practicing with various other world renown teachers, namely with Sri V. Sheshadri in Mysore and with Rolf and Marci Naujokat in Goa.
In 2013 Christiane decides to embark on yet another yoga adventure, this time in Aerial Yoga! The course was divided into two weekends: level I in April and level II in June, after which she becomes a qualified Aerial Yoga teacher.
