ABOUT THE TEACHERS

Daniela Novati

 

Hi, I’m Daniela. With over 25 years of experience, I bring depth, care, and anatomical expertise to every class I teach. After a serious car accident in my late 20s, I deepened my studies in anatomy and functional alignment to help myself—and now others—practice safely and mindfully.
My teaching blends the Hatha Yoga tradition with mindful movement and therapeutic alignment.. Breathwork, personal adjustments, and modifications are important parts of my approach.
I also lead Yoga Teacher Training programs, where I guide aspiring teachers to grow their practice and confidence.

I’d love for you to join me on the mat—to discover more about yourself, explore your body, honor your journey, and find strength and ease in your practice, toward a happier life.

Annasofia Padua

Hi, I’m Annasofia and I was born in San Juan Puerto Rico. My yoga and mindfulness journey began in college, primarily with the practice of meditation. Shortly after, a friend took me to my first yoga class. What I already understood through sitting meditation combined with mindful movement, transformed my life and has allowed me to re-discover the power of stillness during difficult times. In 2022, I completed a 200hr Vinyasa yoga teacher training at Hanu Yoga Miami. Since then, I have completed a 100hr Hatha training and plan to continue expanding my knowledge of anatomy and yogic philosophy. My classes are rooted in the exploration of awareness of mind, body and spirit. I see them as opportunities for self-connection, whether that is through the stillness of yin or the fluidity of vinyasa, I want to help students access a path to their center.
