Born in Italy and raised in Southern California, Arianna discovered yoga in the late 1990s, quickly realizing that this unique healing modality would be a lifelong journey. Due to health complications, yoga became a primary tool for healing, which quickly evolved into a passion that she hoped to share with the world. Arianna’s love for yoga inspired her to train in Hot Yoga with the founder of this traditional hatha practice and beyond to Pune, India, where she landed on BKS Iyengar’s Yoga Institute doorstep. She was honored with acceptance and admitted into the institute to learn from the entire Iyengar family.

Further studies include various studies in Vinyasa and Yin Yoga and achieving E-RYT500 credentialing with the Yoga Alliance. Arianna soon built and operated Chesapeake Hot Yoga in Virginia, teaching 200 and 500-hour RYT courses, Yin Yoga workshops, and certification courses.

Arianna is thrilled to accept Black Sheep Yoga Studio into her continuing story and is looking forward to keeping up the spirit of this iconic studio in beautiful Oceanside.
