Your Facilitators

Alessandra Pecorella

Second generation Yogini and electronic engineer, Alessandra is a Senior Yoga Teacher, founder and director of Aditya Yoga School for Conscious Living, based in West Hampstead London. She discovered yoga at a very early age from her mum and has been on this path ever since.

She has had the honour to study and spend time with some of the foremost swamis and teachers from both the East and the West. She is a direct student of Swami Kriyananda from the Kriya tradition and Shiva Rea, creatrix of Prana Vinyasa® – or Prana Flow®.

She passionately facilitates yoga classes, workshops, events, training and retreats to enrich, inspire and motivate other fellow humans to live a life of Intention.

She works with a kaleidoscope of techniques, from asanas, meditation, chanting, breath work, introspection to ecstatic dancing, threading seamlessly the Wisdom of the Yoga Tradition with Modern Science.

Daria Germondari

Certified Yoga Teacher, Advanced Thai Massage Therapist and Artist. Daria’s teaching is built around the principles of yoga psychology; cultivating personal intention that translates into healing fluid asana to help generate awareness, emotional growth and a connection with Spirit. She comes from a creative Vinyasa background influenced by Shiva Rea, Julie Martin, Susanne Lahusen and her primary teacher Alessandra Pecorella! Her signature flow includes working with the energetic body, creative and somatic movement, exploration of pulsations, and free form yoga (sometimes taking you off the mat). Daria loves to integrate elements of Thai Yoga massage with healing touch and hands-on assists helping to open the body and encourage the freeflow of energy around the body’s energetic pathways.

Daria identifies with the softness and fluidity of Yin flow practices; she is pure flowing Water! She can’t wait to juxtapose this with Alessandra’s passionate Fire! She will also be leading a unique Thai Yoga massage workshop which perfectly exemplifies the dance between Yin & Yang as you take on both roles of the idle receiver, and the dynamic giver of this ancient healing practice.
