A LITTLE ABOUT SILVANA

benvenuti.

My lifelong fascination with wellness and self-discovery has been a guiding force in my life.

I am an eternal student, wellness facilitator, and international teacher, constantly contemplating life's complexities and the human heart.

Guided by endless curiosity, I explore the multifaceted nature of yoga: inward glow, outward practice with movement, stillness with breath and meditation, and introspection through study.

Sharing any space with you is truly an honor. Om, shanti!

words of love...

  • I had the pleasure of attending two yoga retreats with Silvana. Silvana is warm, kind, and caring. She is intuitive and attends to the needs of people around her, both on and off the yoga mat. Her yin yoga class on the retreat was exceptional. I especially enjoyed learning facial yoga techniques from her, based on principles of anatomy of the lymphatic system. She is knowledgeable and a master of her craft. I’ve incorporated yoga practice I learned from Silvana into my daily life. I’m very grateful to have crossed paths with her.

    - Mara Renold

  • Silvana is such a ray of giving light. She provides a truly open and warm space for any practice and teaches with grace. Silvana has such an open heart and her facial yoga practices have truly changed my daily routine - starting and ending my day with intention and gratitude. I cannot wait to continue my movement, breath and facial yoga practices with her far into the future!

    - Madison M

  • Silvana is a representation of being a guardian of the sacred in human form. Her presence is grounding in a way that it allows you to show up on your mat with curiosity and trust in your body and to allow the rest of the practice to unfold however it may be. She has forever changed the way I view yoga but also has been an alchemist for the way I view life. I am soul grateful for Silvana and the teachings she shares!

    - Abigail Savitz

  • La presencia de Silvana en el yoga no solo inspira, sino que te lleva a un lugar de introspección profunda. Me ha ayudado a entender mejor mi cuerpo y mi mente, siempre desde una energía suave, pero poderosa.

    - Juan P.

  • To share a space with Silvana is a sacred experience, she leads boldly and vibrantly offering her students a unique experience of being simultaneously held and empowered

    - Marci Hohner

  • Silvana tiene una energía que irradia calma y transmite amor cada vez que tengo el privilegio de compartir tiempo con ella. Ya sea a través de su yoga facial o de su curaduría en playlists, cada experiencia con ella llena el corazón. Su presencia transforma cualquier espacio en un refugio de paz y bienestar.

    - Rebeca Guerra

  • I have had the pleasure of being in many classes with Silvana, ranging from slow flow and rocket yoga, to breathwork and meditation classes. Silvana's calm, confident, authentic presence makes her an amazing teacher and example for someone like me who is trying to cultivate these qualities in themselves even more. Her focus on play and discovery makes her classes feel as fun and lighthearted as they are healthy and grounding. Thank you Silvana for sharing your experience and light with us!

    - Michaela Markels

  • Practicar con Silvana ha cambiado mi percepción del yoga. Como hombre, a veces me costaba encontrar espacios en los que me sintiera completamente aceptado y a gusto, pero su energía es tan inclusiva y auténtica que me permitió abrirme más.

    - Anónimo

  • Silvana is more than just a yoga teacher—she’s a true guide in life, both inside and outside the classroom. Her kindness, strength, and patience are like a refreshing breeze to everyone fortunate enough to know her. I’ve learned so much from her, not just about yoga, but about holistic living and personal growth. Thank you, Silvana, for being such an important part of my journey and for teaching me invaluable lessons in this holistic awakening.

    - Fernanda Lacayo

  • Silvana es una facilitadora increíblemente intuitiva y siempre está atenta a las necesidades de las personas, tanto dentro como fuera del mat. Tiene un profundo conocimiento y es una verdadera maestra en su arte. He incorporado las prácticas que aprendí con Silvana en mi vida diaria, y me siento muy agradecido de haber coincidido con ella.

    - EC.

  • Silvana's personalized 1:1 sessions and yoga classes are tailored to my unique needs, helping me feel more focused and grounded, even at work. I’ve learned how to breathe properly and create space around me, even during hectic meetings. I’m better equipped to manage stress and anger, and I’ve experienced a significant reduction in pain in my lower back, chest, and joints. My flexibility has improved, I feel less stiff, and my posture is much better. In just three months with Silvana, I’ve discovered a love for yoga that has taught me to embrace and love myself. It’s truly a beautiful feeling!

    - Megan

  • Silvana es una persona y profesora de yoga excepcional. Su dedicación a su práctica personal y a sus estudiantes se refleja en la guía que ofrece a través de sus enseñanzas. Disfruto profundamente su conocimiento de la filosofía tradicional del yoga, no solo en sus clases, sino también en nuestras conversaciones sobre la importancia del autoestudio, tanto dentro como fuera del mat. Su devoción por enseñar las raíces fundamentales del yoga me ha ayudado enormemente a comprender el verdadero significado del yoga, cómo une mente y cuerpo, y por qué la filosofía detrás de la práctica es tan esencial.

    - Yogi Apacionado

  • I've had the pleasure of both practicing and teaching alongside Silvana, and her student mindset truly makes her an exceptional and authentic teacher. Her profound knowledge is deeply intertwined with her daily life and practice. Silvana is approachable, light-hearted, and has a fantastic sense of humor, making every interaction enjoyable. I always walk away having learned something valuable from her presence.

    - MG

  • Yoga with Silvana is always such a treat! I appreciate the various breathwork techniques she weaves in and her knowledge on mobility. She creates a really nourishing space with beautiful playlists and her own energy! Gracias, Silvana

    - Kathleen Brenn

  • Silvana ha sido una guía, maestra y fuente de inspiración en mi vida. Desde hace varios años, he tenido la dicha de aprender de ella y nutrirme de su sabiduría y creatividad. Su energía, enfoque y profesionalismo me han permitido disfrutar más de las prácticas de bienestar que compartimos. Estoy infinitamente agradecida por su presencia en mi vida y por todo lo que he aprendido a su lado.

    - Crista Laylle

  • My experience and interaction with Silvana has been nothing short of exceptional. I first had the pleasure of meeting Silvana through The Kula 200hr YTT in Italy March 2024. The level of professionalism and dedication shown was unlike anything I have ever experienced. Silvana has a wonderful manor of teaching and makes you feel at ease the moment you step into one of her classes. She is loving, friendly and a true teacher of life and her magical abilities will forever be in my heart. I couldn’t recommend her more.
