My conversation with Michela Maltoni was so delightful as we spoke about how different types of yoga align with people’s different rhythms, and how yoga is a mirror, a reflection of our daily life. We also talked about how yoga can heal a destroyed body, and how flexibility of mind a necessary element for yoga teachers everywhere— especially in these unique times! If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about the yoga practice on and off the mat, then this is the conversation for you. Tell me more about Michela Maltoni Michela Maltoni started her career as a professional dancer, and then worked in Italian TV and with theater companies around the country, including international shows in America and on cruise ships like Royal Caribbean. During her career as a dancer, she trained as a Personal Trainer and a Pilates instructor, and then, yoga finally arrived. After years of practicing, Michela became a yoga teacher, and in January 2020 she founded my online yoga school called: Let it Yoga, a digital platform with over 350 lessons, in which she regularly holds lessons live and on demand. She is certified in Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Prenatal and Postnatal yoga and lives in Rome, Italy. What to expect in the Yoga In Italy episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast With a life spent as a dancer, Michela Maltoni she suffered from sciatica for years and was in a lot of pain. She tried everything, and when she finally tried yoga she didn’t like it. She found it too slow and boring. When her body was destroyed and had nothing else to turn to, she found vinyasa yoga— a dynamic style that she hadn’t tried before, and she fell in love. Vinyasa yoga was her therapy. It helped her body to heal. As Michela says, “Yoga was a necessity.” Michela believes that yoga is a mirror, a reflection of our daily life. And she strives to meet her students exactly where they are and to develop a relationship with them so that she can guide them through everything that comes up on and off the mat.
