I'm coming back in the Autumn!
With over two decades as a Senior Yoga Teacher and more than thirty years immersed in Tai Chi and Qigong, I bring a depth of practice and a passion for mind–body wellbeing to every class. My journey has taken me from traditional Hatha roots to advanced trainings recognised by Yoga Alliance (500-hour certification), and—from the oldest training halls in China, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Health Management through to international competition podiums—where I earned Silver and Bronze medals at the highest levels of Tai Chi & Qigong performance.
## A Holistic, Blended Approach
I weave together:
* Classical Hatha Yoga & Alignment-Based Systems
* Gentle Vinyasa Flow with mindful pauses and stillness
* Yin & Restorative Yoga to release tension and calm the nervous system
* Qigong & Tai Chi forms refined under renowned Chinese masters in both China and the USA as part of my continual quest to never stop learning
* Reformer Yogalates, merging Pilates precision with yoga’s breath and flow
This fusion allows me to meet you exactly where you are—whether you seek strength, flexibility, stress relief, or a deeper sense of balance in daily life.
## What You’ll Experience in My Classes
* **Personalized Alignment:** Decades of anatomical study inform clear cues so you build a safe, sustainable practice.
* **Mindful Movement & Stillness:** Each sequence alternates dynamic flow with restorative holds, nourishing both body and mind.
* **Energetic Cultivation:** Qigong breathwork and Tai Chi forms activate internal energy (qi), enhancing vitality and focus.
* **Functional Strength & Core Integration:** Through Yogalates, you develop core stability that carries over into all activities.
* **Holistic Well-Being:** Beyond the mat or reformer, you’ll learn practices to manage stress, improve sleep, and foster resilience.
## Why It Matters
My students often tell me that this integrated style has helped them:
* Break free from chronic tension and aches
* Cultivate calm clarity even in busy lives
* Gain confidence in their bodies and movements
* Discover tools for lifelong health and emotional balance
Whether you’re new to movement practice or looking to deepen an existing routine, I’m committed to guiding you safely and joyfully toward your wellness goals. Join me, and let’s create a practice that supports you—in body, mind, and spirit—every day.
My name is Carmela Rosciano, and I have over 28 years of experience in the fitness world, starting with disciplines such as Children's Aerobics, Spinning, and Tae-bo.
For the past 25 years, I have specialised in the Pilates method, a passion that led me to earn my Master Training Certification at Evolution Academy.
For the past 25 years, I have specialised in the Pilates method, a passion that led me to earn my Master Training Certification at Evolution Academy.
I teach Mat Pilates, Reformer, Classical, Contemporary, Therapeutic, and Prenatal Pilates, always aiming to connect the body and mind, improve flexibility, correct posture, and support rehabilitation processes for various conditions.
Throughout my career, I have worked at Evolution Pilates Studio (Venezuela) and Practike Pilates Studio (Spain). I am currently part of the team at Yogalily Studio, where I continue to share my passion for mindful movement.
I firmly believe that Pilates is an essential tool for daily life: by learning to control our breathing, we can later control our bodies and achieve greater well-being in all areas of life.
My greatest motivation is to help people feel good in their bodies and support them on their journey toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
