She leaves Rome and moves to the middle of a forest in Umbria with her son Teodoro and her partner. She writes poetry and paints. She has been practicing yoga since she was 18 and her practices are fluid and dynamic. What is fundamental to them is the breath, which is combined with the movement in search of physiological alignment that is beneficial to both the body and the mind. Each sequence becomes a meditation in movement.
A teaspoon of ghee butter and a glass of water and lemon. I don't like eating in the morning and for a long time I practised intermittent fasting so I didn't eat breakfast.
I live in the countryside and I love taking walks with my dog very early in the morning. Morning walks for me are moving meditations. I often sit in a meadow or in the woods or wherever I feel there is a good energy and do Pranayama exercises. Or I just stop and listen.
Take your eyes off your phone! Look at the beauty of the sky today!
Practising yoga every day helps me a lot.
Waking up every morning and being happy with your life.
About the importance of choosing vegetarianism or a more conscious diet.
I believe that one day we will all be 'forced' either by personal choice or by the natural course of events to become vegetarians. Violence always generates more violence. A world where people don't kill for food is an evolved world.
Goodness of spirit.
Fedor Dostoevsky because he is one of my favourite writers of whom I have read almost everything: he had a full and also quite hallucinatory life, he was even sentenced to death and at the gallows he was granted a pardon. I would say that already this could be a good topic for dinner conversation. Jiddu Krishnamurti, Indian philosopher, an absolutely brilliant and enlightening person from whom I would be afraid to even ask a question, as he punctually asks you questions and without you realising it makes you analyse yourself and the meaning of your life. Chet Baker, a jazz artist who I love madly and to hear him live would be indescribable.
When I realise that I am entering moments of comfort I look for the courage to get out of them.
I would have always wished to become a doctor. My life, however, has taken other directions from the very beginning. I believe that somehow teaching yoga helps me to help people and this makes me, at this point in my life, happy for the choices I have made.
