This training allows you to learn about the concepts of emotional intelligence & empathy with the aim of better recognizing and understanding your own emotions and those of others. Being aware of emotions allows better management of behavior in human relationships, both in the professional, private, entrepreneurial framework (...). For example, as a key to management, it makes it possible to:

• Measure the impact of emotions in team management.
• Analyze your own mode of operation to get the most out of it.
• To be able to put in place strategies to regulate his own emotions and those of his collaborators.
• Know how to approach delicate interviews taking into account the emotional factor.
• To be able to understand, recognize and name his own emotions as well as those of his collaborators.
• Discover the emotional process.
• Manage the team (the impact of emotions on communication and decision making), the emotional quotient and
leadership styles.
• Motivate and mobilize its employees over the long term, and in particular in the context of interviews "to
strong emotional potential "(reframing, motivation, problem solving, tense sessions, conflicts etc).

Emotional intelligence is a process of personal development over time. This training allows you to initiate the process, with concrete tools that can be applied on a daily basis. This training combines group activities, individual reflections, videos and scenarios.

From theory to practice with simulations. It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to achieve the objectives set together and overcome the blockages initially defined.

Controlled, the techniques allow:

• to rely on emotional intelligence and capitalize on the empathy communicated to better ensure that his message is better received his message or being.

• improve credibility, self-confidence and ease (verbal-bodily) with public speaking and a more fluid sense of repartee.

• defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / safety zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, effective and lasting way, for example through NVC (Non Violent Communication).

• better manage negotiation situations (contrary to the stereotypes conveyed, negotiation is not only financial, but it can be small everyday events).

• Match the content and form of your message while improving the use of your emotional intelligence.

What you will get out of it:
• Better control of emotions and therefore of your way of communicating
• Better understanding of the feelings of others and the ability to lead them successfully
• Better relationships in personal and professional life thanks to superior emotional intelligence
• Less stress thanks to a better understanding of one's emotions and those of others
• Greater determination and results-oriented mindset
• Ways to develop and apply emotional intelligence in the workplace

Movement is fundamental to every human being. Every single action requires the use of various muscle groups, whether consciously or unconsciously. The practice of sports is not limited to a small segment of the population; rather, it encompasses people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities who share a common goal: improving their quality of life. As a personal trainer, following an initial assessment—which includes an analysis of physical fitness and the client's specific goals—my objective is to create a customized training program tailored to the athlete's needs, aimed at both improving and maintaining muscle tone.

As a native Italian speaker with a great passion for sharing knowledge, I also offer courses for those who wish to learn the basics of the language or improve their existing skills. After a careful analysis of the student's level, I develop a study plan suited to their individual needs, focusing on the improvement of grammar, speaking, or writing. Engaging and light assignments are provided to the student to consistently stimulate their curiosity.

I offer gentle, dynamic or hybrid yoga classes, online, at home or in a location agreed upon together, according to your preferences and objectives.

The sessions can focus on relaxation, recovery, and calming, or conversely, on mobility, tone, stability, and energy. I teach both Yin and Yang practices, as well as formats that blend the two in a single session to offer a more complete and balanced experience.

I also incorporate breathing exercises and, where appropriate, elements of meditation, in order to work on the body, breath, and quality of presence in a single class. My approach remains clear, progressive, and accessible, regardless of your level.

Each session is tailored to your body type, experience, current fitness level, and goals. I can offer gentler or more challenging variations, without performance pressure, with the aim of building a beneficial, sustainable, and realistic practice.

The courses can be general or geared towards a particular need: stress management, mobility, recovery, refocusing, getting back into motion, better body awareness or simply the need to take quality time for oneself.

A unique experience - More than a walking course

We take time for ourselves. We connect or reconnect with our femininity. We do an activity that stimulates the body and gets energy flowing. Through gentle exercises, we strengthen the abdominal muscles, back muscles, as well as the muscles of the legs and thighs.
Our approach

Awaken the expression of the feminine
Our approach is based on our vision of woman as an intrinsically beautiful, graceful, and unique being. We don't impose a way of walking. We share tools and techniques that each woman can adopt to express the full essence of who she is.
