Vanda Scaravelli

    Vanda Scaravelli discovered yoga later in life, finding in it a path to what she termed 'allegrezza,' the intelligent heart. Her teaching, deeply influenced by her studies with B. K. S. Iyengar and T. K. V. Desikachar, centered on the profound connection between breath, gravity, and the spine. Scaravelli developed a distinctive approach to yoga that emphasizes the natural intelligence of the body and effortless movement. Her seminal work, Awakening the Spine, continues to inspire practitioners and teachers globally.
