Aurora Losapio Torino, Italy
Certified to Teach RussaYog Level 2
I was born in Torino in 1968 and before I learned to speak I had existential questions in my mind that nothing in the culture in which I was born was able to explain to me.
Growing up I was always attracted to everything about India and philosophy, feeling well just moving/using my body or painting or playing with my dog or stressing my parents with all my questions :-).
Financial independence is very important for me, so I took an office job.
I always loved yoga, but never found in Torino the right and professional place where to practice it.
When I was 30 I meet a Satyananda method teacher. And I felt at home.
1998-1999 I did intensive yoga teacher course with her, but not to became a teacher, I was to shy to think to can teach..., but just to know more about yoga. So I had my first 2 years full immersion in asana, pranayama, meditation.
This help me a lot in the following period. My mother's cancer... my divorce.... Without yoga I could be not able to survive to such pain and overcome sorrow.
For some kind of coincidences (do coincidences exist???) I became a REAL YOGA TEACHER! and this was an amazing experience that help me to be the REAL ME.
In the next years I took some other diplomas:
But my first love, the Satyananda method, was what I continue to teach from the 1999.
Finally for another series of coicidences (!!!) in the 2005 I meet Yannick and he introduced me (THANK YOU Y!!!) to Teresa and Jasprit Singh.
A new world was open in front of me. And finally I found the way and the opportunity to grow again.
2005 Santa Barbara (CALIFORNIA), Russa Yog summer retreat at Singh Family ashram. With Yannick Smits and Jason Blackman.
For somebody that grow up in such a "normal/traditional" Italian culture was not easy let my dream growing up, my search... but this is strong in me and I cannot stop it, everything could happen in my life.
I'm lucky in such a kind of material world (also in yoga business) to meet some honest and lovefull people as Jasprit, Teresa, Yannick and (last but not least) Jason, and during the last year, all the staff of the ayurvedic centre

where I teach yoga. They always stay connected with my heart/soul and give me the force.
