Adriana Gianolio

Adriana is our Italian senior yoga teacher. She lives the cold months in Milan, where she teaches in her yoga school, and the warm months near her Floripa’s friends, where she offers Vinyasa, Ashtanga and Yin Yoga classes.

A lover of nature, animals, land and sea sports, beauty understood as inner and outer harmony, Adriana began teaching fitness in the 80s and has never left the classes since then.

The philosophy of yoga is for her the greatest challenge, but also the most rewarding. It is the missing link that enriches her healthy lifestyle with the wisdom of the ancient masters.

Passionate about anatomy, her approach to yoga is physical, but only in appearance. The physical is intended as a tool to open up to listening, acceptance and respect for oneself and for others.

She has more than 1000 hours of training (RYT 500 certified) but she keeps on studying because she says “Yoga is not like going to school, you don’t learn by taking a diploma, but it is a journey that has a beginning, but never an end. “

with Floripa Yoga Academy

In the Training was a great balance of personality and way of practicing yoga with different teachers. Eva, thanks for having created such a safe place. Clear lectures, it is amazing that you took the time to check on us, and how we were feeling at different points of the training. All lectures of Adri were very organized and clear. I love your Ashtanga classes! Nikol, you have a great hands-on adjustment. Also the class about bandhas as I could generally understand better. Rob' s lectures are very clear, it is nice that we can access the online course one year after the Training.

Lea, France

I liked the welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, and the strong community feeling, which was created so fast. I haven ’t experienced that before. The three weeks were so intense, but I liked to live in the bubble with amazing teachers, whom I learned so much from, and all my fellow yogis. It was the best decision and money spent. I think about it almost every day, and I wish I could do more yoga, not only asanas, but also pranayama, and study the philosophy of yoga. To refresh everything, you taught me. It was such an amazing experience, so eye- opening.
