If you know me, you know how much I am in love with Iceland! I have been wanting to write a Yoga Nidra journey under a dancing aurora borealis for so long!

And now it’s here! Join us @lotus_yoga_studios in Somerville on Friday December 12, 7p for our Yoga Nidra journey under the Northern Lights Yoga!

As always, we will start with a grounding restorative practice followed by a Yoga Nidra guided meditation that will bring us in dreamy landscapes under the dancing lights!

Beware, I am just coming from in depth trainings with the one and only @jenniferreisyoga where I learnt and experienced so much with my imagination!!! We might visit some wonderland!

Don’t miss this workshop as it’s the last yoga Nidra for the year @lotus_yoga_studios before the holidays break.

Let’s gather to find deep relaxation and some wonder to close this year in beauty and playfulness.

Find the link in bio and stories!

Love from heart of hearts,
Fede

Such a luminous time we had! Every single Yoga Nidra gathering is special in its own way. This time we played with shooting stars and healing spirals of lights. And awakened our inner jewel, our true self.

It’s such a blessing to witness the glow after practice and the shared relaxed energy that flows in the room.

We can see each other next @lotus_yoga_studios in Somerville on December 12th, for a special journey under the dancing aurora borealis!

Don’t miss the last Yoga Nidra gathering of 2025! Stay tuned for info on this event soon.

Love to you all and be well,
Fede

Throw back to last year when I have been featured as Artist of the Month by @supermoss!

You can read more here: https://www.supermoss.com/natures-palette-the-mossy-artistry-of-federica-torri/

Posting this on @tenderfloweryoga because of the gratitude I feel towards @constellation_ville and @jennpfalk for hosting my creations in the last 6 months. It really has reignited my passion for moss painting.

And also a BIG thank you for all of the people who have been purchasing my creations and asking about my passion for moss art. Thank you for your support! Yes, I’m looking at you!

I am starting the process of making the house a moss wonderland. I’ll be creating paintings, ornaments and jewelry boxes. If you are interested, contact me and stay tuned!

Inner Bloom Mondays is back!

Let it goo, let it gooooo! Elsa would agree with us that letting go its not easy, she had to run all alone and build an ice castle after she grew up concealing her powers.

Every time in a yoga practice I hear “just let it go” I have a gut reaction, a voice inside that says yeah like if it was easy. And of course nothing is easy, but also placing pressure on peoples ability to just let go of anxiety, sadness or anything really just creates a sense of “I’m clearly not doing it well enough”.

The truth that comes from what we know about trauma and difficult emotions is that they just ask to be felt. And feeling them sometimes seems like unbearable.

So letting go it’s not a pure act of volition, it’s a process for our body and mind. And we can start just with a seed intention to let go of something, even a very small habit.

In the practices I teach I talk about about this seed intention as the catalyst of the process.

Give a try to the practice in this reel and let me know how it feels!

This week was a powerful one! Some of the yogis in classes reminded me that I should create more beauty. That my moss paintings are just something that makes them happy to look at!

And so today I started to gather what I need to create some pieces for the holidays: ornaments, moss paintings, jewelry boxex, rainbow moss paintings… and so much more!

If you want to give a special gift to someone you love and you want to support a very very small business (me myself) stay tuned!

And follow me @laphern. I’ll post updates and also where you can find my pieces. Couple of pieces from my 2025 collection are @constellation_ville 💗.

As always, love to you all beautiful spiritual community you don’t know how much you mean to me and way of a difference you make in my life!

📝 DM me if you want to book any pieces in advance, I will have a limited inventory this Holidays season.

You can also DM me if you want something custom!💗 or visit my Etsy shop www.laphern.com.

💓What is Yoga Nidra?
💓Why should I try it?
💓What are the benefits of yoga Nidra?

Check out this video where I got through all the reasons why Yoga Nidra should be your friend!

Yoga Nidra has ancient roots in the yogic philosophy, and is a guided meditation that brings us on a journey through all the layers of our being or Koshas.

I have been struggling for most of my life with chronic pain and fatigue, and Yoga Nidra has been a life saver for me.

If you are local, come and try it out at one of my workshops! Links in BIO and on my website.

Otherwise stay tuned for more offerings where we can be together in this beautiful practice… wherever you are 💓🫂

Have you ever tried Yoga Nidra? Are you ready to try? Drop any comments or questions, or DM me.

I am very proud to share that I completed my @yogarenew Yin Yoga Teacher training with @kate.lombardo! Even more proud because I managed to do it in months defined by physical injury and sickness. 🥹😭🤕

With my wholehearted passion for gentle practices, I have been wanting to know more about Yin Yoga since a while.

It was fascinating to learn how Yin Yoga is focused on creating tension in our connective tissue and fascia, trying to remove muscle activation from the equation as much as possible.

I am looking forward to practicing more, and to share with you all what I learnt.

Learning is my love language, and I’m also learning that there needs to be time for integration. 💗💓

Have you ever practiced Yin Yoga? How did it make you feel?

Welcome to Inner Bloom Mondays!

Emerging from being sick, I felt this calling to start the week with you all sharing practices that can help us navigating our weeks TOGETHER.

I am keeping the videos short so that you can get a taste of the practice and then bring it with you during the weeks, and practice it for how long you have time for.

💗This week I want to share with you the CIRCLE OF LOVE meditation.

With this meditation we connec with all the beings that have inspired you for their love and kindness… people, animals, plants any living being. Maybe they’re alive and you met them in real life, maybe you read about them.

Maybe it’s that teacher who believed in you. That poet that wrote words that seemed to just read inside your soul.

Welcome your circle of love, the circle of benevolent allies gathering around you, and you’re at the center. The recipient of their love and kindness.

How does it feel to be inside this cocoon of love and protection? Where do you feel a sensation in your body?

If you find a sensation, can you spread it from that point in your body to all your body, like if you had a magic paintbrush. All your body being a body of love and kindness.

You can stay her as long as you would like, soaking in this bath of benevolent energy.

When you feel read to transition, let’s bring one had to the heart and the other one on top, and let’s send ourselves words of love and kindness.

“May I be happy, may I be safe and may I be living with ease this week”.

Slowly open your eyes.

Drop me a message if you got to try it.

As I always say, everything I share is like a fall leaf on a river. If it resonates pick it up and make it yours, otherwise just let it pass by.

We are all here to experience and try things as we live.

Love to you all,
Fede

Such a delightful group gathering for our “Rainbow Forest” Yoga Nidra @lotus_yoga_studios Somerville tonight.

This journey was a Chakra Healing one, where we nourished ourselves with the qualities of the chakras and the colors of the fall leaves. Did I say there was a river and a waterfall???

People who joined said it was absolutely magical! Curious?

Join me next Friday 7.30p @lotus_yoga_studios in Arlington!

How to regain innocence when life can get shattered by unjust and incomprehensible events?

I surely don’t know the perfect recipe, but I’m finding inspiration in connections and Nature. In the Sacred Spaces.

For each of us it would be somewhere or something different. Those places are the ones we can soften in, and let us be found. In sacred rest.

“To return to an alert innocence is not so much an effort,like moving a pile of bricks from here to there as it is standing still long enough to let the spirit find you.it is said that all you’re seeking is seeking you, that if you lie still, sit still, it will find you. It has been waiting for you for a long time. Once it is there, don’t move away. Rest. See what happens next.”

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

May we all be safe, may we all be happy, may we all be healthy.

💓 What is Restorative Yoga and why I am in absolute love with it?

Restorative yoga is about accepting support from the props. Can be done anywhere, you just need cushions and blanket and maybe books!

It is not about stretching harder. It’s about starting to accept the idea that we can release the grip of tension and control, and trust that we are held.

And this is not easy at the beginning. But as everything, it is matter of practicing and showing up is enough.

💓 How do I teach Restorative Yoga?

In my restorative yoga practice and classes I start with some rest on the ground, and then follow work some dynamic stretches to prepare the joints and the body to stillness.

I also bring Mudras, that are truly yoga for our hands! These shapes come to us from ancient wisdom and carry meanings and qualities that we explore in class.

We usually explore few shapes in stillness and with the support of the props, and end with a blissful Savasana with me sometimes playing chimes for a little sound bath love.

I love to give Reiki (hands on or off) at the end of class to each of the participants if they have interest and consent. Reiki is a cosmic hug, benevolent energy that a practitioner is able to channel to our body and mind.

Would you like to soak in deserved rest and have some time to slow down and heal? Follow me and I would love to meet you for a group or private practice.

Till then, may you all be well dear ones.

Following up to my previous reflection on this transition of season.

I wanted to share the Letting Go practice from the book “I AM HER TRIBE” by Danielle Doby.

“My strength is not determined by the heaviness I choose to carry.

When I loosen my grip on what once was, I allow myself to experience the fullness of what is now.

When I release what no longer serves me, I return to the natural rythm of my widest Self.

To be connected to Self is to be connected to the very ground I stand on - the foundation where all arises from.

My past doesn’t not define all the I am, it waters my roots and prepares me for where I’m going.”
💗

This is such a beautiful passage. I intuitively very much felt connected to this idea that surrender happens in connection, happens in rooting versus a free fall.

For me the care of everything in roots is of utmost relevance right now.

Does it resonate with you?

Following up to my previous reflection on this transition of season.

I wanted to share the Letting Go practice from the book “I AM HER TRIBE” by Danielle Doby.

“My strength is not determined by the heaviness I choose to carry.

When I loosen my grip on what once was, I allow myself to experience the fullness of what is now.

When I release what no longer serves me, I return to the natural rythm of my widest Self.

To be connected to Self is to be connected to the very ground I stand on - the foundation where all arises from.

My past doesn’t not define all the I am, it waters my roots and prepares me for where I’m going.”

Some reflections on this week of the autumn equinox. About liminal spaces, about the apparent contradiction between harvesting and stocking up resources in preparation for the winter

AND

Letting go of what no longer serves us.

The leaves might be dancing in the air. But the roots are still there.

One thing I want to say about letting and go and surrender. I find that often times it becomes easy to hear in yoga classes that now we just let go, we just surrender.

My personal view point is that this creates pressure and if we don’t feel lighter in that moment we might feel we are failing at the practice.

I like to think that all starts with the intention of letting go. Like a little seed we store waiting for the spring.

Maybe nothing happens today, maybe nothing happens for a year. It doesn’t mean there is no progress, it means that we start a process that will unfold with a sacred timeline.

I say this for personal experience. When we hold heavy things for our life or the life of the world, we might feel we should be better at letting go. It should be faster.

Truth is, it will take the time it needs to take.

In Nature there are a trees that retain their leaves longer than others, they have their own personal timeline.

What would you like to harvest and bring with you from the precious season?

What would you like to set an intention to let go of?

Coming next up a video of a beautiful poem about the practice of Letting Go.

The last of the Niyamas is Ishvara Pranidhana, surrender, wholehearted devotion. Offering the fruits of our actions to something greater.

This sutras is about Bhakti, this concept of surrendering into the arms of something greater.

And this can be an act of faith. I like to think at surrendering at something that happens in connection versus in a state of being unthethered. Something that happens in our roots.

Feeling part of nature, humankind and all beings as our kin can help us build a beautiful network of roots, an intelligent mycelium. And from this connection through the roots we can then look at the sky, and offer knowing that we belong.

As I connect with Nature, all beings and humankind I find peace.

The fourth of the Niyamas is Svadhyaya, self study.

We are used to think that knowledge comes from sources outside of ourselves. I am definitely a very passionate lover of learning, and always look at the best thing to learn even while I’m learning other 1000 things!

Svadhyaya is about turning our eyes inward, considering our inner landscape worth being explored. We are worthy of curiosity.

And our yoga practice can become a bountiful experience when we are curious about how a shape feels, what thoughts feelings sensations are flowing thru us.

When I am curious about myself, my inner light can shine brighter.

We become curious when we travel up to the fourth of the koshas, Vijnanamaya Kosha the witness. The loving mother that has a wide vision, the intelligence of the heart where the is no right or wrong. It just is.

To get there, we need to connect and relax our Physical Body (Annamaya Kosha), Breath Energy body (Pranamaya Kosha) and our Mental Emotional body (Manomaya Kosha).

The key is noticing the body, our breath and thoughts and feelings. Yoga gives us many tools to embark on this journey.

Can you be curious about something within yourself? Can you come back in your sense and notice?

In this fall Equinox 🍁and new moon 🌑, honoring my ancestral roots. With all that comes with it.

My ancestors didn’t have an easy life. I don’t come from abundance. I come from a lineage that didn’t have a lot of means, that had to be focused a lot on survival. I come from a lineage of very strong women, that stepped up to roles that at some times in history were filled by man.

I come from pain, struggle, fierceness. I come from the stories told about the war, about struggling to put bread on the table. About rebuilding with nothing available to do so.

I come from bold choices made to support the survival needs of children. From hard physical work. From the absence of space and luxury to do what they wanted. There was no time even to fathom that question.

From fear and desire of protection for family and values.

And I come from two parents who didn’t have anything easy, but they built and built and built. Relentlessly. And always wanted the absolute best for me. And always supported me, every day support me.

In that field that Rumi says is beyond what is labeled as good and bad, right or wrong … I meet all my ancestors there. All my story across lifetimes.

I was born with this innate yearn for finding my home. I left my roots, crossed oceans. Always split in two, between wanting to fly and being grounded. Being close to my roots and not finding my place there or anywhere.

To discover that HOME is not a place, is something inside the heart. Is where the effort of escaping ceases.

I might have not found it yet, or I might not find it ever. Maybe my journey is the way, the soul contract for me is to travel across contradictions.

This week I honor the roots and the sky, the balance between being rooted and rising.

The roots never stop loving and thinking about their flowers.

For them,
With them
Because I am them.

On shanti shanti shanti.

The third of the Niyamas is Tapas, the Inner purifying fire.

In the Sutras we read that by living with zeal and dedication our inner flame of passion ignites, so that our inner light and true self can reveal itself.

Tapas is a lot also about cutting cords with what disperses our energy, and find focus.

And yes sometimes it means DOING LESS. I struggle with this a whole lot, and then when spread thin I don’t even remember where is my passion. Maybe sometimes end up going to the motions to just survive.

Is there one little thing you can decide not to do today?

Let me know your thoughts and experiences with Tapas!

Love to all!

Tonight’s @lotus_yoga_studios was something special!

Thank you to the so many lovely humans who showed up to share our journey to the treehouse of our inner sanctuary 🌳

It meant so much to me to hear people sharing their experience, and also to send everybody home with a little heart shaped leaf 💗 with the wish that that leaf can remind us of our connection to all that is.

Especially in these times.

See you next month! I will share soon where the Nidra magic will bring us next! If you have any idea you want to share, DM or comment here!

The second of the Niyamas is Santosha, or contentment.

Contentment is not about fireworks and fleeting joy. It doesn’t have that fleeting and spiking aspects of feelings. Contentment is more cooling, steady.

It is about being content beside external factors and events and oh boy, we all know how hard it is.

For me Santosha is a lot about the inner lake of peace. That place in the body and mind that we can replenish via any practice that soothe us, that grounds us.

I am content right here, right now.

There is a special type of lightness that comes with not having to worry about past and future.

And even if we taste it for just one second, that’s the first step in the path to Santosha.

The first of the Niyamas is Saucha. It translates as cleanliness and simplicity.

I loved reading about Saucha as the celebration of a simple way of life, of it being about lightness of being.

I think we can all agree that we are not navigating at all light times, and we might even be feeling guilty about being light with all the suffering we live and witness.

But, the world still needs joy. Still needs lightness bubble to ripple.

Let’s explore Saucha with this first acknowledgement of what feels heavy. May we, like trees bearing fruits or plants bearing seeds, let them go back to earth? And then evoke something that gives us unencumbered joy.

How does that feel in the body? Can we expand those sensation to the rest of the body like if we were painting over it?

We can just be curious of these feelings and sensations of lightness even if they visit us for few moments.

We need them. The world needs them.

Till the next time we meet , take good care of yourself. You’re doing the best you can, all the time.

And it’s the time for the last of the Yamas, Aparigraha or not grasping.

I like the positive translation of this Yama as acknowledging abundance and blessings in anything I do, we get a closer taste of the purpose of our earthly life.

The moment that all is a blessing, there is no comparison, there is no wanting more or clinging. I like a quote I read that says “ I want to love not with closed fists of who is gripping, but with the open hands of who is giving”.

Let’s start here then: what are you wealthy in? What currency is your heart full right now? This is the first step.

And then as Rumi says “As you start to walk on the way the way appears”.

This is a Yama I personally have a LOT of work to do. Coming from a very performance oriented career and life, I need to embody every day what are my wealths beyond material possessions and achievements.

What is your reflection?

Brahmacharya is the fourth of the Yamas. We read in the Sutras that by living in moderation and balance our life energy becomes BOUNDLESS… who doesn’t want that?💗

In the Sutras we also read that the asanas or physical shapes and practice of yoga are a balance between Sukha and Sthira, Ease and Effort.

Brahmacharya invites us to not live in a debt of energy, but manage our life in a way where we fill the well before we empty it. In the past humans used to live more according to the balance of seasons, efforting during the summer time and resting during winter time.

What our way of living asks us is to be on and in bloom 24/7 and 365 days a year. But as part of nature, it just doesn’t work like that for us humans.

Can we think about a situation or even little thing where the scale went towards access of efforting leading to burnout? Or excess of ease leading to disengagement and boredom?

Can we just bring balance back, finding the blessed Middle Way?

Ready for some deep relaxation and deep healing? Then a Reiki Healing session is what you didn’t know you needed.

Some info on Reiki:

💗 It is a Japanese energy healing technique

💗 Restores the body’s natural ability to heal itself by removing energy blockages and promoting overall well-being.

💗In an in person session the practitioner is placing their hands on or near the body to facilitate energy flow and address imbalances.

💗 It can be administered with or without physical touch, depending on your comfort level.

💗 It helps with overall wellbeing, pain management, stress reduction, anxiety relief, and improved sleep.

Ready to try Reiki?

I will be @lotus_yoga_studios in Arlington on Wednesdays at 3p.

Book your spot at the link in Bio and Linktree.

Asteya is the third of the Yamas. In the sutras we read “abiding to generosity, spiritual and material wealth is bestowed”.

Asteya is was more than not stealing. It is an about giving, about generosity and conscious use of resources.

And the first cup to replenish is ours if we want to be able to give to others.

Just play around with this question: how can I give a flower to myself today, this week, this season?

What comes up for you? Let me know int he comments, and see you soon on the mat 🌸

You gave us feedback and we listened! 💗

Starting this month you will have double opportunity to practice Yoga Nidra together at both Lotus Yoga Studio locations. In these chaotic times, Yoga Nidra can truly be an ally in finding peace and rest, a cocoon of peace.

I’m so excited to announce our August Yoga Nidra journey! 🛶🌅🌠✨

Get ready to dive deep into the Lake of Inner Peace, where we’ll discover profound healing and a beautiful sense of belonging to the natural world around us.

We will be journeying in the waters of a calm mountain lake, in that twilight magical time between sunlight and moonlight. To then meet the starlit night, in awe.

Join me for this incredible practice on August 22 at the wonderful Lotus Yoga Somerville, and on August 29 in Arlington.

I can’t wait to share this with you! 💖

The Ease of Truth

Rooted in Satya, the second of the Yamas, we cultivate truthfulness—both on and off the mat. The Yoga Sutras teach us that when we are truly aligned with Satya, the fruit of our actions flows with ease.

To explore this, find your soothing sanctuary, that place where you feel completely at home and calm. In that stillness, ask yourself:

💗 What is my deepest desire?
💗 What does my heart truly want?
💗 Who am I truly, and who am I not anymore?

This inquiry into our authentic selves applies to every breath on the mat and every moment in life. When we live in truth, our path unfolds with a beautiful, natural ease.

The peace of Non Harm

Let’s talk about Ahimsa – the first of the Yamas and principle of non-harm. This isn’t just about what we do, but also what we think and what we say.

The Yoga sutras teach us that a person rooted in Ahimsa brings a positive influence everywhere they go, at the point that people around just release their animosity for the mere fact of being around them. So what we coltivate writhing has indeed ripples all around us.

Everything we practice has ripples all around us. We can be agent of peace, even from the mat and in our day to day life.

Ahimsa invites us to consider the impact of our thoughts, words, and actions on ourselves and others.

Non harm applies first and foremost to ourselves, and it can be as simple as listening to our body and maybe schedule some rest, and not get ourselves to exhaustion.

A powerful question to guide your journey with Ahimsa:

💗What would I see if I looked with my heart?
💗 How might your perspective shift?

Let these question sink in, and look with your 💗 especially at yourself.

What came up for you?

Digging deep into the roots of our yoga tree! 🌳

The Yamas, as Joseph Le Page beautifully illustrates in his “Mudras for Healing and Transformation” book, are the essential foundation.

They’re not just rules, but guiding universal principles for how we interact with the world and ourselves.

🌱 Ahimsa (Non-harming): Cultivating kindness and compassion in thought, word, and deed.

🌱 Satya (Truthfulness): Speaking and living our truth, with integrity.

🌱 Asteya (Non-stealing): Honoring what is ours, and not taking what isn’t.

🌱 Brahmacharya (Wise Use of Energy): Directing our vital energy towards higher pursuits.

🌱 Aparigraha (Non-possessiveness): Releasing attachment and embracing abundance.

Which Yama resonates most with you today? Share below! 👇

Have you ever considered yoga as a magnificent tree?🌿

I was inspired by Joseph Le Page’s “Mudra for Healing and Transformation” and wanted to share this wonderful metaphor for the 8 Limbs of Yoga.

It beautifully illustrates how yoga is so much more than just physical postures.

Imagine:

* The deep Yamas as the roots, grounding our ethics and universal values.

* The strong Niyamas as the trunk, supporting our inner practices.

* Asanas as the diverse branches, expanding our physical form.

* Pranayama as the leaves, vital for life’s breath.

* Pratyahara as the budding awareness, turning inwards.

* Dharana as the focused energy of the blossom.

* Dhyana as the fragrant scent of profound meditation.

* And Samadhi as the sweet, ripe fruit of enlightenment.

This imagery truly brings to life the interconnectedness of all the limbs.

Apologies for the mess, the loud AC … but maybe sorry not sorry!

This week I feel very inspired to slow down, and to live instead of learning and doing. I felt in the last couple of weeks I overrode my capacity multiple times, and the result was utter exhaustion. And being unable to show up as I want to be able to for the people around me.

Last week it has also been the last week of Earth Angel School with @asiasuler. I can’t even put in words how transformative, and deep this three months path has been for me. Learning about working with guides, using somatic tools to know as highly sensitive people what is going on inside of us. Learn how to open our wings, cutting cords and to truly generating miracles.

One miracle in my life is that for the first time EVER I feel a strong desire to just BE and LIVE, instead of performing or receiving validation from my accomplishments.

I had many in the past and happiness was not there, because happiness is a constellation of feelings - like @asiasuler says - that is not playing one note, is a state of being.

And for me today is to surrender in stillness, giving myself what I love to give to others when we gather for our practices.

It is about stopping to over ride my capacity, and listen inside.

It is about AHIMSA, the first of the Yamas or ethical principle that are one of the 8 limbs of Yoga described by Patanjali.

This week we will connect with AHIMSA, in practices that are tender and listening IN more than perform OUT. Check out my schedule ln my website, link in BIO!

This week I will also start my 1:1 Reiki treatments at @lotus_yoga_studios at 3 pm on Wednesdays! PM me or check link in BIO to book your slot!

More on everything soon!
