Stefania Maria Machado Moreno

Stefania’s work is guided by an intention of healing and liberation, rooted in the remembering of our innermost essence — the place within that is whole, unbroken and One. Everything she offers arises from this orientation. She weaves embodied practice with awareness&compassion, both on and off the mat. With clarity and a therapeutically grounded perspective, she supports people on an inward path where joy, peace, and authentic connection can emerge. Her journey is shaped by years of dedicated study and practice. Introduced to meditation and pranayama in childhood by S. Yesudian, she trained in Bikram Yoga. Further studies in Medical Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa Yoga, as well as Pranayama and philosophy with O.P. Tiwari deepened her understanding. Over many years Doug Keller has been a central influence in yoga-therapy. Seeking refinement, she turned to Buddhist wisdom and completed a 3-year-training in Essential Psychotherapy/Buddhist Psychology. Stefania offers psychological counseling.
