attended courses for the teaching of hatha yoga and specialistic courses held by Masters
of international fame such as D. Holleman, R. Turla, B. Baleotti, L. Miele and F. Berlette.
Since 1996 she has been the founding partner and teacher of yoga at the apolitical and

study of the philosophy and practice of yoga
She holds courses of therapeutic yoga working closely with the local council at a centre
for the elderly, courses for nursery school teachers and courses for children of developing
years at the primary school.
Considering that over the centuries yoga has evolved into various different areas,
producing different methods, and the experience matured by years of teaching, Valeria
has developed her own personal interpretation: she has paid particular attention to
the form of Iyengar, for the perfection and the harmony of the asanas, of Pattaby Jois
Ashtanga, for the strength and beauty of the seguence, and of Kundalini yoga, that
through the perception of the chakra we are lead to concentration and meditation.
It is her conviction that yoga must be a ‘second skin’ to the person who practices the
discipline, therefore it is important that the personality, the inclination, the place of birth,
the culture received and the society from which the person comes from play an important
role in directing him or her on the most suitable yoga path.
