01 The practice
What is Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga Yoga is a meditation in movement: a deep dialogue between breath, body and mind, built on precise sequences and on consistency.
Breath
Movement and breath go together. Every transition is a vinyasa: the practice becomes meditation in action.
Sequence
A precise order of postures (asanas) that builds strength, flexibility and concentration, with gradual progression.
Discipline
Practising consistently builds inner discipline and deep well-being, day after day.

04 Testimonials
What they say about me
Francesca is an intelligent and self-deprecating woman, which are important qualities in a teacher. Her free spirit leads her to experiment, yet she always returns to Ashtanga Yoga, which she teaches with great passion in Maremma.
I met Francesca through her blog, rich in historical and philosophical content about yoga. This summer I returned to Ashtanga after 4 years and, thanks to her lessons, I discovered fundamental details of the practice. Even from a distance she manages to correct my breathing and guide me with precision. She has become a true point of reference for me!
I immediately sensed her great humility, despite her many years of experience as both a practitioner and a teacher. Her continuous evolution, research and constant study make her one of the best-prepared teachers I know.
Francesca is an extremely well-prepared teacher. Thanks to her I was able to build and improve my practice, both physically and mentally. I would recommend her to anyone for her dedication and competence.
Francesca is a fantastic teacher. She manages to convey the deep and beautiful essence of yoga, encouraging practitioners to improve and to create their own physical and mental harmony.
05 Frequently asked questions
Before you begin
Answers to the questions I am asked most often. If you don’t find yours, write to me.
Ashtanga Yoga is a dynamic and powerful method of yoga, originating in Mysore, India, developed by Sri T. Krishnamacharya and codified by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. It is based on precise sequences of postures (asanas) linked by fluid transitions (vinyasa), which join movement and breath in a meditation in action.
It is a group practice in which each student follows their own rhythm, in an atmosphere of silence, while the teacher offers personal corrections and suggestions. In a calm and respectful environment you develop awareness, strength and concentration, supported by the shared energy of the room.
Yes. Ashtanga suits beginners, experienced practitioners and anyone looking for a structured yet adaptable approach. Each lesson is a gradual path, intense but always gentle and respectful of everyone’s pace.
