Yoga was a discovery. She studied Vinyasa and Hot Vinyasa in New York, where she lives and teaches. She loves to create sequences and playlists that can make each practice unique and useful for anyone. Through her classes she hopes to convey a deep connection between mind and body as well as the realisation that it is a privilege to be able to move and that wherever we are right now, physically and mentally, it is OK.
It depends on the day, sometimes almond milk with cereal, sometimes hot milk or tea with biscuits.
A little stretching in bed. I stretch my feet and hands as far as I can and take a big breath.
"Hands at the helm and eyes to the stars". A phrase that has become my motto since my second mum said it to me!
Reading and walking. Sometimes I take the bike, put on the music, and sing the songs I loved when I was 12.
Being able to do what I love and sharing my days with those I love.
About how important mental health is in my field. I am an actress and a scriptwriter: having psychological support and a strong passion, like yoga is for me, has helped me a lot in giving me time to reach my goals as an artist.
The ring game, this one is really silly but I think it really works. It consists of taking a ring, preferably a wedding ring, putting it on a chain and moving it in a specific way on a person's palm. It will tell you how many children you will have and what sex they will be. Please don't judge me!
Goodness and curiosity.
Patti Smith because she taught me, through her book Just Kids, what love is. Marina Abramović because she is not afraid to push boundaries. Viola Davis because she is an actress I respect immensely.
Courage always (and sometimes I'm wrong!)
Criminal lawyer.
Too many!!! Right now I'm listening to episodes of Festival Della Mente. I also really love Modern Love, I Weight by Jameela Jamil and all the works of Pablo Trincia.
Fun, mind-body, accessible.
