My name is Federica (but feel free to call me Fede!). I’m an Italian NYC-based E-RYT 500hr Vinyasa and Prenatal Yoga Teacher with 10 years of teaching experience. I’m also a Certified Pilates Instructor, Full Spectrum Doula, and Lactation Counselor. I’m married to a French man, and we have four wonderful sons.

Originally from Milan, my family roots extend to Sicily (from my dad) and Tuscany (from my mom). After working in fashion for several years, yoga transformed my life, leading me to become a teacher with a mission to help others live healthier and happier lives. My Vinyasa Yoga training includes studies in Chinese medicine, seasonal practices, and Ayurveda, and I love creating sequences that align with the natural rhythms of each season while paying close attention to breath and alignment. I offer mindful adjustments to help my students deepen their practice and relax into each posture.

When my first son was born, I developed a deep passion for pregnancy and birth, which led me to become a Full Spectrum Doula. I provide emotional, physical, and educational support throughout the entire pregnancy journey, including conception, miscarriage, abortion, birth, and postpartum.
