‘Curriculum Vitae’ …
In 2008 Maurizio trained and qualified as a traditional Hatha Yoga Instructor at the 'Amrita School of Yoga' in London under the expertise and eclectic guidance of Nigel Gilderson and Chris Gladwell
In 2012 he went to study and assist in the 500 hours Teacher Training in Quantum Yoga with Lara Baumann in Goa.
In 2017 he also completed the Yoga Therapy Diploma Course at Yogacampus
In addition, Maurizio offers Thai Massage which is a great energy-block releaser and has deep effects on the body and mind. He achieved his first training in late 2012 and the Advanced training in 2014, both with Ralf Marzen. Later on he continued training with Pichet Boonthume in Chiang Mai, Thailand
The never-ending process of learning has by far enhanced his skills in giving adjustments and understanding the most subtle yogic tools that can enable anyone to awaken the pranic energies within the body and deeper consciousness at the level of the mind
Openly attracted to new forms of movement, Maurizio delved into several different styles of Asana practices; the classes he teaches are a blend of his experience. Instinctively drawn to more dynamic, vigorous, yang classes, such as Ashtanga, Iyengar, Jivamukti, Dharma Mittra; as well as Kundalini. However, in order to find and maintain that inner sense of balance, he continues to enjoy the challenge of exploring more gentle, introspective forms of practice like restorative, Ying, Yoga Nidra and Meditation
In the course of his sadhana and teaching experience Maurizio has gained the extraordinary opportunity to learn directly from Ashtanga Masters David Swenson and John Scott as well as from London based internationally renown outstanding teachers and long-established members of the yoga community such as Stewart Gilchrist, Georgina Evans, Lara Baumann, Jeff Phenix, Mark Kan, to name a few. All of whom have deeply enriched his understanding of the principles and the practical application of this ancient, empowering and yet accessible science of wellness in daily life
Over the last decade Maurizio has grown a much more holistic approach to yoga. The fruits of his own discipline and seeking spirit has led him to believe that Yoga has the power to transform people's desires, needs and point of views towards life into something magic of the utmost importance. His entire being is committed to exploring and meeting those individual needs and designing practices that are fun and accessible to everyone. As a result, a high percentage of businesses he worked for throughout the past decade and still works for at present are from referrals
Maurizio offers profound gratitude to all his teachers as well as to all the students who keep developing a sincere interest in the pranic awakening practice of yoga, thus increasing a gradual consciousness of the Absolute Reality within and around us
Reviews & recommendations
Throughout the years of practice I’m still learning from Maurizio's insights to breathing and movement, and from his intelligence of the body, that shapes his guidance that joins mind and body.
His teaching is gently challenging, creative and kind, it reliably leaves me feeling cared for and poised. I’m very grateful to Maurizio for offering regular classes online.
- MariaMaurizio’s classes are dynamic, challenging and often surprising — there are few teachers with the ability to revive a tired body and mind in quite the same way that’s different every time. His adjustments are spot on and you always feel as though you’re getting exactly the right dose of mental, physical and spiritual stimulation you need. Can’t recommend him enough!
- AbigailMaurizio’s online yoga classes are a real tonic....he gives clear instructions and I always finish the class feeling better & more grounded.
- YolandaDuring the first lock-down I felt very lucky to attend Maurizio's online yoga classes.
His classes gave me lots of benefit in a really complicated time. Maurizio is a grounding and inspiring yoga teacher. He teaches in a way that makes it accessible for everyone - when I first joined his classes in person ten years ago, I had basic knowledge of yoga - but now with his virtual inspiring sessions and the weekly reflective Newsletters, I feel a better and solid understanding of physical alignment and am generally more aware of the way my own body moves, breathes and how my energy flows.
I have become more aware of my quirks and session after session I feel a step forward in harmony with the realm of my body and my mind.
Thank you Maurizio, you're an amazing yoga teacher in guiding us on how to breath like the ebb and flow of the ocean!
- GraziaI have taken many yoga classes across London and I often dwell on what is it that stays with me after a yoga class. Different teachers give different things, but in my experience what makes Maurizio a truly gifted yoga teacher is the way he empowers his students by cultivating a sense of "you can do it" attitude. And that is a great thing to take away from a yoga class.
- Gabrielle
Maurizio is an extremely skillful, thoughtful and generous yoga teacher, and his classes always provided the grounding and support in the principles of yoga to allow his students to gently progress to greater challenges.
I was so relieved when he moved online at the start of lock-down and I was able to continue learning with him. For nearly two years now his Zoom classes have provided a consistent yet imaginative program of serious, considered yoga, each class building from careful warmups to asana sequences that require, as he teaches us, the steady breath control and focused concentration that make further physical attainment possible.
Maurizio works hard to maintain a connection with his students during the Zoom classes, with individual attention where necessary.
I am really looking forward to getting back into the studio with him, but will also continue to dial in for Zoom lessons for as long as he's offering them
