Cristina Chiummo

Cristina is the founder of Ashtanga Shala Sicilia, a growing centre dedicated to teaching traditional Ashtanga Yoga in Sicily. Devotedly following the teachings of Guruji Sharath Jois, Cristina brings authenticity, rigour and passion to her teaching, the result of years of study in India and with renowned teachers around the world.
Her practice focuses on the therapeutic and healing effects of yoga, understood as a tool for profound transformation on a physical, energetic and emotional level. During adjustments, Cristina integrates Reiki energy, channelling it to promote the correct flow of the muscular structure and energy channels, thus offering an experience of integrated care and awareness.
Her goal is to share the benefits of traditional yoga in a safe, welcoming environment focused on personal growth and individual well-being.

Meals are prepared mainly with the ingredients of our gardens and with products of local producers to offer maximum freshness and bioavailability.

During the preparation of our meals we aim to go beyond the concept of ‘good’ and ‘typical’: a diet that is tasty but also and above all healthy, making natural, light and balanced recipes.

Good and healthy for us must be synonymous: this is our starting point. Information
