Shanti Christina Ruozi was born in Reggio Emilia and now lives in Rimini. She is an authroized Ananda Yoga teacher and teaches in her own Yoga school, Ananda Yoga Ahimsa.

“I have practiced yoga since 1995, beginning by studying the B.K.S Iyangar method. I also studied under other teachers (Piero Vivarelli, Willy Van Lysebet, Dieves Lopez), but when I discovered the teachings of Ananda Yoga, their depth led me to follow the Ananda path with love and enthusiasm—a love and enthusiasm especially communicated by Ananda Yoga School director Jayadev.

I have dedicated many years to spiritual seeking and to the study of psychology, participating in seminars by Umberto Zizzola (a student of Ron Yong and Daskalos) and Claudio Rainville. I also studied macrobiotic cooking, natural herbal medicine, and the Bach Flower Remedies, at the Riza Institute in Milan.

I graduated from Dr. Virginia Cool's school of Manual Lymphatic drainage, which I practice when I have time from her busy schedule of yoga classes. Recently, I have begun to teach courses on how to integrate a healthy diet and yoga. I still attend seminars for yoga teachers, as I feels I will always be a student and never finish growing.

Last, but not least, I am the mother of two lovely children and wife of a wonderful husband who for 20 years has supported me on her path.

I thank the Ananda Yoga Academy for the trust that has been given to me—yoga is always a divine service to share!”
