Meet Your Facilitators


Angelo is from Sicily and he has been teaching yoga for more than nine years. During his university years, he continued his personal practice in both Catania and Turin, where he also studied at the Kuvalayananda Institute. Upon returning to his hometown of Agrigento, he started offering private yoga lessons, gradually expanding to local facilities.
Three years ago, Angelo opened his own yoga studio, Dharana Yoga Studio, a dedicated space where he guides practitioners through various styles of yoga in a calm and welcoming environment.
Angelo completed his teacher training at Sati Yoga in Rimini (Yoga Alliance RYT 200h) and has continued to deepen his knowledge through ongoing study, retreats, and workshops. Over the years, he has explored and taught styles such as Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, and traditional Hatha Yoga.
In addition to teaching regular classes, Angelo is the founder of the Yoga Agrigento platform, through which he organizes and promotes numerous events aimed at bringing yoga into the community and natural surroundings. Some of these include Yoga on the Beach, Yoga at the Museum, Yoga at the Temples, Yoga at the Garden of Kolymbetra, Festival del Mandorlo In Fiore, and Yoga at Icori Park.


Adriana is a teacher, writer, and healer. She is from Sicily but has lived in Dublin and Australia. In 1992, she founded the language school Eurolingue School, which has seven branches in Sicily. She recently earned a PhD in English language didactic and conducts seminars on teaching methodology.
Adriana has been practicing meditation and personal growth since 2004 and began Sumarah meditation with Pamong Laura Romano, whom she followed for several years. She has attended numerous personal growth courses and seminars (Eckhart Tolle, London, UK, 2016), spiritual retreats (Deepak Chopra, Rimini, Italy, May 2016; Palm Springs, California, January 2019; Oliver Niño, Sedona, Arizona, February 2025), and online training events and courses (Unleash the Power Within, Tony Robbins, January 2024).
She is the author of the following novels: Wenu Mapu (KDP, 2022), finalist in the 2021 Odissea competition; La bellezza dell’acqua (Leima, 2016), co-written with L. Lo Bue and A. Bellavia, finalist for the 2017 Kaos Prize; La terra dei liberi sognatori (GEMS, 2015), one of the winners of the IoScrittore literary tournament; Il libro delle vergini imprudenti (Navarra, 2014), a collective novel. She also wrote the play Le regine della croce (2022).
For the past year, Adriana has been following the teachings of Oliver Niño and is certified as a GEO Love Healing Practitioner.
After two decades in high-level roles in the corporate world across the USA, UK, and Angola, Isabel made the courageous decision to shift her life toward deep healing and inner balance.
Originally trained as a computer engineer in Michigan, USA, she spent years leading IT and strategic planning teams in a fast-paced, high-responsibility environment — until her body began asking her to slow down.
That awakening led her on a journey of self-discovery, embodiment, and feminine reconnection.
Today, Isabel is a certified energy healer in the GEO Love Healing Methodology, blending intuition, presence, and energetic practices to support others in releasing emotional blocks and restoring their inner flow.
Her workshops are both grounding and expansive, helping others reconnect with their truth — through simplicity, softness, and soul.

She offers individual and group sessions and also works as a professional supervisor for caregivers.
As a freelance professional consultant for the Universities of Lugano and Milan, she participates in numerous medical conferences and public educational events.

Special Guests
Salvatore’s journey with Yoga began in 2005 at the Yoga Studio in Caltanissetta under the guidance of teacher Luis Fernandez. At the same center, he regularly attended workshops, seminars, and retreats with other teachers as well, such as Tomas Zorzo, Antonio Fushoo, and Gabriele Severini.
In 2011, he participated in a three-day Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga seminar in Milan with David Swenson. In June 2012, he joined a four-day retreat in Castelfiorentino focused on Anusara Yoga and Tantric meditation with Piero Vivarelli and Carlos Pomeda.
Driven by a desire to deepen his practice and obtain official recognition, in August 2013 he attended an intensive residential teacher training course at Hari-Om, Cascina Bellaria, in Sezzadio (AL), where he earned the foundational Yoga Instructor diploma certified by Yoga Alliance (RYS200).
He later obtained the intermediate-level Yoga Instructor diploma at the same school, certified by CONI and Yoga Alliance (RYS300). He went on to attend seminars on Metabolic Syndrome, Nutrition and Yoga, and later also completed Master Trainings in Yoga Therapy, Yin Yoga, and Yoga for Seniors. Eventually, he earned the advanced Yoga Alliance certification.
In 2015, he founded Hamsa Studio Yoga, based in Favara (Agrigento), with the aim of further spreading the knowledge and practice of Yoga in a dedicated and comfortable space. He teaches traditional Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, and Yin Yoga. He also enrolled in a course for Shiatsu and Reiki practitioner at the “Vento di Primavera” center.
His teaching style is not bound to specific methods or traditions—it is a “non-style” that honors tradition while remaining attentive to the rhythms and needs of modern Western life.
Claudia’s interest and love for Eastern disciplines began with a journey she took in 2013 through Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where she first encountered the world of yoga, Ayurveda, and meditation.
During this transformative trip, she also had a remarkable meeting with the spiritual teacher Amma.
In 2015–2016, she attended a year-long training course to become a holistic practitioner at the Myamo center in Syracuse, at the end of which she received her certification.
The tools she uses most frequently in her practice are Ayurvedic treatments (massage) and the sound of Tibetan singing bowls.
In 2017, together with other collaborators, she founded the Fiore di Loto association, a center dedicated to Ayurvedic treatments, Shiatsu, yoga, and meditation.
In 2018, she took part in a 10-day silent Vipassana retreat organized by the Italian center Dhamma Atala.
Over the years, she has also participated in various meditation retreats led by P.G. Caselli.

Claudia Gianquinto


On her path of inner growth, she has discovered within herself precious resources that she now offers to those seeking to rediscover harmony and a deep connection with themselves.
Today, she teaches yoga to both children and adults, conveying respect and love for oneself through the body. She is an Ayurvedic practitioner and a Soul Contact massage therapist, specializing in treatments that promote the proper flow of vital energy in the body through conscious touch.
She discovered the transformative power of laughter, becoming a Laughter Yoga teacher — a practice that stimulates diaphragmatic breathing and the production of endorphins. From there, her interest in play as a tool for awareness was born, leading her to train as a Conscious Playfulness Technician. She now integrates playful moments into her workshops to foster personal growth and social bonding.
Yet she still felt something was missing: a deep connection with nature. She rediscovered it through Nature Therapy, becoming a facilitator of this method, which she now uses to guide groups in immersive outdoor experiences, helping people find themselves through a renewed bond with the Earth.
Completing this rich journey is the Mandala, which emerged from the depths of her soul as a symbol of beauty and life. Chantal organizes creative workshops using the Dot Art technique on various surfaces — canvases, stones, glass, and other materials — offering a space for expression, centering, and wonder.
