Lucia Margherita Rizzi
Motivation for Yoga:
I have held a profound fascination for all things related to the holistic world for as long as I can remember.  My journey took a significant turn when I discovered an illness more than two decades ago. This pivotal moment led me to embark on a path of self-healing and exploration to uncover its true spiritual or consciousness-related roots. As my condition worsened, I reached a point where it threatened my very existence.

I have held a profound fascination for all things related to the holistic world for as long as I can remember.  My journey took a significant turn when I discovered an illness more than two decades ago. This pivotal moment led me to embark on a path of self-healing and exploration to uncover its true spiritual or consciousness-related roots. As my condition worsened, I reached a point where it threatened my very existence.
However, I made the conscious choice to veer away from Western medicine's chemical-based treatments and opted for an alternative path. It was during this challenging period that I had the privilege of crossing paths with Master Amadio Bianchi. His inner light and energy illuminated my world.
Following his profound experience in the realms of yoga and Ayurveda, despite my desperate situation, I experienced a physical, mental, and spiritual rebirth within a matter of months. My path subsequently led me to study under Swami Amadio Bianchi and other esteemed teachers in the fields of yoga and Ayurveda.
The foundation of my teaching philosophy is rooted in the desire to impart this profound experience to others, enabling them to become aware of their own potential as spiritual beings. My teaching approach involves small groups of a maximum of three individuals. This deliberate choice allows me to transcend the boundaries of physical practice and engage in meaningful dialogues with my students. It also grants me the opportunity to provide guidance in other facets related to naturopathy and Ayurveda.
My mission is to empower individuals on their spiritual journeys and support them in realizing their innate potential. I believe that through sharing our experiences, we can help others find their own path to enlightenment.
Work Experience:
My primary work experience has revolved around teaching yoga and providing Ayurvedic and naturopathic consultations. I conducted these activities primarily from my home, where I have a dedicated space for yoga practice, as well as at local tourist facilities in the area..

Milena De Matteis
Yoga student
She has taken up yoga with the intent of improving her strength, flexibility and breathing and she is now in her second year of a course conducted by Gisa Franceschelli (Sattva Yoga) in Ostia (Rome). She struggles with remembering the names of the asana, but ... "A failure is only a step on the way to your success." Yogi Bahjan

She has worked for years as a secretary in different international environments and has a passion for the art of photography, which, in a way, is a form of meditation. She is also very fond of nature, which has a soothing effect on her soul.

Since I started the Yogascuola training course, I have added some yoga to my daily routine and to my English lessons.


Gabriella Porro
English Teacher
I was born on September 1955 in Addis Abeba  (Ethiopia) where I lived till the age of sixteen.
In Addis I attended an English School, Nazareth School, where, among the teachers, I had the pleasure of having Indian teachers and classmates too.
It is funny but, I remember when I was in 6th grade, my teacher, Mrs Black, used to talk to us students about the importance of conscious breathing! Since then my interest headed in learning more on the topic.

I am so grateful for the peaceful joy I receive, in return , from Yoga that guides me on the path of  ‘’ union of the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness ‘’ .
My objective is to find peace and wellness for my body, mind and spirit in line with the laws of the Universe and serve people willing to sharing happiness and wellbeing.
Only for further information, I lately achieved a Master Degree on NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

Elisabetta Zambon (Amritdev Kaur)
Yoga Kundalini Teacher
I am a second level Teacher and Teacher trainer of Kundalini Yoga. Within the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) I specialized in Asana Yoga, Counseling and in the science of the mind for Leadership & Success, becoming a tutor in the Antervidya programs.
My passion for Yoga and for the art,  that uses the body as matter through the physical expression of movement to raise the state of consciousness and the manifestation of the self, led me to specialize in the first and second levels of Shakti Dance .
I believe that the life of every human being has the right to evolve in consciousness. For this reason I trained as a Yoga Teacher for Pregnancy and postpartum, so that Yoga can be a help and support for every mother in establishing a deep and joyful relationship with her child.
I deepen my skills as a Vinyasa Flow teacher by training under the guidance of international teachers.
