Gianna Piccardo, R.Y.T. 500

Gianna Piccardo studied Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda in India and brings the true Eastern approach to yoga to the West by working in a one-on-one setting. Together teacher and student together develop a holistic program tailored to the physical or mental/emotional needs of the individual, including yoga, diet and lifestyle.

Gianna works with each client to develop a personal program tailored to their unique needs.  One-on-one sessions include a wellness consultation and the design of a personalized yoga practice that can be done at home. By giving clients the most effective tools specific to their needs, Gianna helps individuals find their own inner path to well-being.  Listening to their needs, she creates with them their unique practice and assists them in integrating this into their lives.

Yoga therapy is effective for healthy individuals as well as those with back and joint pain, scoliosis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, stress, anxiety, depression, and in women's health care for conditions such as menstrual pain, pregnancy or menopause.

Gianna's balanced approach is based upon her studies of yoga in both the East and West.  Her regular practice of yoga developed from a need to channel stress and to find peace while living the life of a busy career woman in the corporate world.  Through much inner work and the gentle encouragement from her teachers and mentors, Gianna eventually chose a new life path dedicated to creating societal change through assisting others in finding their own path to inner peace, health and well-being.
