About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hi everyone, I am Ivan, I am Italian and I am a sports trainer and martial arts instructor. I have been doing kick boxing for 10 years, 7 capoeira, 3 jiujitsu. I attended the University of Exercise Sciences in Milan and now I am the second university in osteopathy. What I love most about my job is achieving my clients' goals and improving their lifestyle with a workout routine. My method is to combine fitness and kickboxing. The result is to train yourself by learning how to fight and have fun.
I have a lot of training tools that I share to improve and change each workout: gloves, small and large pao pads, the cobra, and everything you need for a workout, at your home or in your garden. / Park. Coach in private, well-being at home. See you soon

Pilates
It is a program to rebalance the muscles of the body, focusing on the main muscles involved in the balance, and the maintenance of the spine. By exercises, we try to strengthen the weak muscles and to relax the muscles too tight, taking into account the rhythm of the breathing during the execution of the movements, the good alignment of the column as well as the maintenance of a good general posture.

Sports and Professional Coaching
The DeRose Method is for business leaders, executives and high-level athletes who want to improve their quality of life and achieve high levels of performance. Its fundamental aspect is the search for the well-being of the practitioner. In order to achieve this goal, we use a very comprehensive practice that includes breathing, strength, flexibility, relaxation and concentration techniques. The foundations of this cultural proposal were designed more than 50 years ago. Over time, this method has turned into much more than just a course, it has become a culture, a lifestyle. As the student becomes familiar with this Method, he will begin to deepen the conceptual part such as healthy eating, good human relations or ethics to gradually integrate them into his daily life. This Life Style Coaching has been developed and is particularly suitable for young adults from 18 to 58 years old. It is practiced in Switzerland, France, England, Scotland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the United States, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

Just 90 minutes of mindful movement and mental clarity from the comfort of your home. 🌿 What to Expect This is a slow-paced Hatha Yoga class with deep focus on mental clarity, emotional balance, and body awareness. With careful, step-by-step guidance and attention to alignment, this session is designed to help you: ✨ Release tension ✨ Reconnect with your breath ✨ Feel grounded and calm ✨ Improve your focus through mindful movement ❓Is Hatha Yoga for Me? If you're looking for a calm, unhurried class that helps you listen to your body, yes—this is for you. Hatha Yoga is practiced slowly, with an emphasis on alignment and awareness. This style is especially supportive for beginners and anyone who wants to build a safer, more intentional practice. You’ll learn to move with mindfulness, which not only prevents injury but also sharpens your concentration and connects you to your inner stillness.dent said after class, “It felt like my spine could breathe again. 🌿 About Myself Hi, I'm Daphne — a passionate yogini, certified RYT 200 since 2016. My background is in Hatha yoga, and these days, I'm deeply immersed in the alignment-focused practice of Iyengar yoga. I offer online/offline yoga classes that are gentle yet powerful, focusing on precision, posture, and healing. I’m Austrian, grew up in Japan, and now live in Malta with my two young children. I speak English, German, and Japanese. Daily meditation (Triratna style) is an essential part of my life and deeply influences my teaching. I believe yoga is a journey inward, not a performance. 🌿 My Journey with Yoga I discovered yoga not once, but twice — each time in a way that transformed my life. 🧭 The First Discovery — Yoga as a Way of Life In my late twenties, while backpacking through North India, I found myself in Rishikesh — not knowing it was one of the world’s most sacred places for yoga. There, I trained with inspiring teachers in Hatha and Iyengar yoga, including Ashish Sharma. I joined a retreat at the Yoga-Gang Centre in Old Rajpur, and for the first time, truly understood yoga as more than physical movement — it was a philosophical, mindful approach to life. 🩺 The Second Discovery — Yoga as Healing Years later, after giving birth, I suffered from intense postnatal back pain. I couldn’t even do basic poses. After seeing a chiropractor, I slowly returned to my mat. With consistent Iyengar practice, within a few months, my pain was gone. This experience showed me the therapeutic power of yoga — how it can heal and restore the body from within.
