The heart is not just a mere pump. In my PhD studies in Medical Biotechnology Neuroscience, there was a lot of importance given to the brain as the Emperor of the body. It turns out in the last 20 years science has been discovering that the heart has its own intrinsic nervous system. And that the heart is sending up to the brain more information with the vagus nervus than the brain is sending down.

The heart also has a magnetic field that is 20 times more intense than the brain.

What does it mean in practice?

It means that the heart is not "just" keeping us alive by jumping blood. It is the first perceiver, collects information, explores the world with wonder and keep the brain informed, so that it can decide if something feels safe or if we might be in danger. The brain's job is our survival, not our happiness.

All of this to say that I am obsessed with this new discoveries. I value every time that research and ancient philosophies and ancient philosophies converge. As a matter of fact, Traditional Chinese Medicine defines the heart as the Emperor of the body, and the seat of our consciousness and life energy. And so does yoga, where the seat of consciousness is centered in the heart.

Dropping in the heart means taking in beauty, breath deeply, taking time to rest and take the world in. This is why everything I teach has its center in the heart.

I am going to launch very soon a free offering that is just this. That wants to feel like a long exhale.

Follow as something to drop into your heart is coming soon! DM me if you are curious!

Something tender is growing. 🌸

As a neuroscientist and a sensitive soul, I know that for sensitives rest and homecoming to the self isn’t a luxury, it’s a physiological necessity. But so often, the tools out there feel too fast, too loud, or too much. The invite us to do more, and function in a way that is just not aligned with who we are.

I’ve been whispering a new project into life: The Mini Bloom Kit.

It’s a free, 3-day journey designed specifically for highly sensitive nervous systems. No “pushing,” no performative movement. Just a soft place to land and research and sensitivity aware rituals to help you find your way back to your heart.

Stay tuned. We begin our “homecoming” very soon.

I have been feeling very overwhelmed by almost everything this week.

Health issues, conflicts, the state of the world and the almost impossible pressure I tend to place on myself to do it all.

And today I stopped and noticed the white poppies and for a second felt a big exhale like feeling in the body.

I am preparing something for you that feels just like that. Short and sweet mini rituals to find micro moments of peace.

Are you going to join me? Stay tuned!

Did you know your heart has its own intricate nervous system? This fascinating organ truly acts as the first perceiver, sending more information to the brain than it receives in return. By embracing your heart space, you invite a deeper sense of relaxation and well-being. Let’s honor our sensitivity and nurture that vital connection to promote emotional and mental health. It’s essential to listen to what your heart has to say. ❤️

As sensitives, we hear a lot that we should have a "thicker skin" or we should keep the vibes up. We should just be "normal", should we not?

I spent all my life trying to fit in, and make myself acceptable, more like "everybody else". I justified my feelings and the core of my way of being for so long. I also accepted to be told that I should be different.

Everything changed when I understood and learnt more about being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). And when I learnt what was truly helpful to tend to my sensitive heart. Soft lights, low volume sounds, being in presence of people that are not judging but welcome who I am with delight. Yoga, and in particular Yoga Nidra, have been key for me to start companioning my feelings, and my often overwhelmed body and mind.

I hope you are being tender to yourself this Sunday, everything going on in our collective is very overwhelming. And still, the world needs your joy, you unique ability to feel and wear your heart on your sleeve.

Reclaim sovereignty on your inner world, as deep, complex, contradictory it may be.

How can you find a moment for you to be in your sanctuary today? A mini ritual: perhaps a bath or a song listened while you lay down on something soft. Maybe it's just one breath, with a long ahhhhh exhale.

When I started teaching, I had a vision: creating a container rooted in tenderness so that people could breathe, rest and feel seen.

I am so happy and proud that I focused on creating and sharing offerings so very aligned with this vision. Even when this is not what usually "sells", or what is considered "mainstream" yoga.

it turns out that these practices are what the world needs to most today, especially sensitives and deep feelers.

Your words mean the world to me, thank you for your trust, support and love. It is what is keeping me going.

Today is one of those days…
Not even the time or bandwidth to put make up on. Body feels tired, brain overwhelmed, heart heavy and spent.

I think there is no reason why anything different than what we feel or how we truly are should be displayed on social media.

I wanted to pop in to check in and let you know that this Friday there will be a beautiful yoga Nidra retreat @constellation_ville. The coziest of the entire year!

Join me on Friday March 6th at 6.15p to be guided into that healing space between awake life and sleep. That is the outmost healing of all!

Twenty minutes of yoga Nidra have the same benefits than 2 hours of sleep. You just need to show up and tuck in. I’ll handle the rest ❤️

It might be very unpopular to say that you should NOT conceal your feelings, regulate your nervous system, manage your emotions.

These words have become buzz words that are used by everybody on social media, even people who completely lack credentials.

I am not saying that we should not aim to connect and express our feelings in a healthy way, or know our mind more so that we can understand how it works and how to pursue a balanced life.

Yoga is at this core this, an invaluable tool to find balance, to rise above the apparent contradictions of our human experience.

What I am quite frankly done with is hearing other people tell you what you should feel, or what feelings you should banish. And judging emotions like something that should be reframed, denied, tucked in somewhere so that other people can be more comfortable.

And this doesn’t mean that I think we should allow emotions to drag us down forever in a black hole, or occupy all our being. I stand by the belief that nobody should ever decide what is right for us to feel.

There is so much our minds and hearts are processing right now, every day we ache and we feel disoriented. Especially if you’re a deep feeler.

This is my open door for you: anything you’re feeling right now, I am there with you.

Gone are the day for me personally where I fit and customize my feelings according to what is expected or what norm prescribes.

A very key component of being sensitives is the ability to feel very deeply on both end of the spectrum: sorrow and joy.

My invite for you this week is to welcome the word ALLOWING.

If you find a micro moment of joy, allow it. The world needs your joy.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it is so absolutely understandable. It doesn’t feel good, and you might desire it goes away. Still, you’re not wrong or weird.

Your feelings are sacred and the expression of your humanity. I call this sovereignty of our inner world.

I created a micro practice around this, signup for my Inner Bloom Circle newsletter if you would like to receive it! Link in BIO.

Finding the ground, when everything around is going too fast. When certainties crumble, the world is in chaos.

The illusion of control slips from under of our fingers.

Are you feeling this way too?

As a Highly Sensitive Person, I learnt that finding a connection with the ground helps me move through my intense feelings.

Couple of moments to move in a slow, intentional way. Imagining that when you breath in your belly you are making so much space that you can breath beyond the edged of your body.

This is not a quick fix, something that will change the problems you feel in the world. it doesn't aim to change how are feeling, because your feelings are valid.

This can help you moving through the storm, feeling maybe a little bit lighter, and little bit more here.

This is the power of mini rituals. What I call micro moments of bloom.

If this resonates, sign up for my Inner Bloom Circle newsletter. I share inspirations and practices for sensitive hearts, like yours.

As sensitive, we have a sacred mission that is to feel and see and know, sometimes before others, sometimes even without us knowing why and how.

Take 3 minutes for yourself to move your sweet body and heart.

This little baby moss held my whole attention: how it gathers water, holds it, and slowly returns it to the forest. For sensitive hearts, moss is a kind teacher: receive, hold, and let what you need drop in.

Nature is the Sanctuary, slowing us down. Welcoming all that is.

Try a tiny practice now: place a hand on your heart, one on your belly. Inhale for 4, pause, and exhale for 6. Repeat three times and whisper: “I am nourished, I am protected in my Sanctuary of Tranquillity” 🌸

If this felt like a small homecoming, sign up to be part of the Inner Bloom Circle mailing list! Link in bio.

I am preparing something special, just for you. Sign up if you want to be the first to know.

With tenderness, Federica 💗

I’ve been dreaming of mossy forests lately, quiet teachers for sensitive hearts. 🌿

Today I shared a tiny “moss cave” practice: 2 minutes to rest, breathe, and feel held in your sanctuary of tranquillity.

Close your eyes, place hands on belly + heart, inhale 4 / exhale 6, and whisper, “I am nourished. I am protected in my Sanctuary of Tranquillity" 💚

Welcome to Tender Flower Yoga!

My name is Federica, and I proudly founded Tender Flower Yoga (TFY) as a Sanctuary for the Sensitive Hearts.

If you identify yourself as a highly sensitive person (HSP), empath or if you have been hearing over and over that you feel too much, you are too much…

You landed in the right place. This is the place for you.

TFY is a gentle, trauma and sensitivity aware space for sensitives like you who are tired of being told they need to “push harder” or “feel less”. Here you’ll find a soft space where I blend research-aware practices with gentle yoga, yoga Nidra, healing Mudras, restorative movement and Reiki. And you’ll be able to receive them from wherever you are.

Yes but… you might ask, who am I?

I am a PhD scientist in Biotechnology and Neuroscience, turned into a burnt out leader in the software biotech world, turned into a full time yoga teacher.

And as like you, I am a highly sensitive person. I undertook a long journey before even realizing that I am an HSP, and I am not neurotypical. All my life I thought I was too much, and that clearly I had a problem because other people seemed to keep it together better than me. I get overwhelmed by overstimulation, by long time in social settings. I experience joy and sadness very deeply.

I have been accepting to be told I was too much for such a long time. Till I understood more and integrated what it means to be sensitives. We feel different because our way of processing and feeling is deeper, and this is a gift like a blooming flower that needs some loving tending.

I still experience deep feelings and overwhelm at times, what it’s different for me after all these explorations is that I now know what care my sensitive heart and body need, and how these needs might be very different than most people.

So no, you will not find a quick fix here because there is nothing to fix. You are perfect as you are.

We can journey together to get to soft spaces where our mind, body and spirit can take a big exhale. And we can meet other sensitives, as kindred spirits in this life experience.

REST, BE SEEN and BLOOM. Want to come along?

This week in our culture is considered the week of Love. Often times, it is a romantic love, with flowers and chocolates that gets displayed as the paramount form and love.

And it is a beautiful one. But Love comes in many forms.

From my studies of ancient Greek I love that there are many words for Love:
💖 STORGE : familial, rooting love
💖 PRAGMA : practical love: support and presence
💖 EROS : sensorial and sensual love (not limited to sexuality)
💖 AGAPE : devotional love for humanity
💖 PHILIA : the sweet love of friendship
💖 XENIA : love for those who are different from us

When we notice all these shapes and forms, we see we’re often wrapped in a blanket of love not only from people, but from all living beings and the world around us. We are a beautiful fabric made by threads of LOVE. Each of us is a thread of LOVE.

What is the next loving thing you can give yourself this week?

Welcome to Tender Tuesdays @constellation_ville! On Tuesdays at 10am to 11a.

Starting on January 20th we will be gathering for a class meant to be a soft and mindful cozy pause. To connect to the true heart of wintering, we will share a practice that reflects what is needed.

You can expect a combination of gentle yoga and restorative yoga, a lot of rest and a sprinkle of Yoga Nidra guided meditations … as needed!

Constellation is such an intimate and special nest, I’m honored to be able to bring this offering and share heart centered practices with you all!

As I love to say, if there is one gift I have is to tuck people in and make them relax deeply. 🙏🏻

With love,
Federica

Always so touched by the trust and love that is holding me like a warm blanket! The sweetest feedback I could receive 💗

Thank you to all the people who are showing up, for the space we share, for the roots we intertwine. These practices, this gathering together is what gives me life and also how we can walk TOGETHER through the chaotic and divisive world around us.

Thank you for every word, smile. For showing up in light days and heavy days. You all matter to me more than you think.

With love,
Federica

Hello friends!

Come and join me for our January 2026 Yoga Nidra gatherings @lotus_yoga_studios!

If you are new to this workshop, we usually start with a restorative yoga practice followed by a Yoga Nidra meditation where we travel to wonderful places while we rest and deeply relax. And you don’t even have to pack! 🧳

Yoga Nidra is a wonderful mindfulness meditation that allows us to travel through the five layers of our being or Koshas. While our nervous system deeply relaxes, healing and restoration can take place. 20 mins of Yoga Nidra bring the same restoration as 2 hours of sleep!

This month Yoga Nidra Journey will bring us to a magical pristine snow landscape under the Northern Lights. And there is a special gift for you as a keepsake for the New Year 💗

Don’t miss this wonderful journey we can share on:

⭐️ FRIDAY January 16th 7.30p - @lotus_yoga_studios ARLINGTON

⭐️ FRIDAY January 30th 7.30p @lotus_yoga_studios - SOMERVILLE

From my heart to yours, I hope to see you and share the wonderful gifts of Yoga Nidra with you!

A sweet practice for belonging and homecoming this week for our #innerbloommondays.

We start with calling back all that belongs to us, our energy, concern, care. We call it back so that we can soak in all that is ours.

And only then we send roots to connect to other living things, and feel we belong to the net of life, to the earth.

Earthy practices are so important while wintering. Finding connection to the steady Earth while we go through shorter days. Learning that the works around is not dead, the landscape is just sleeping and resting.

Give this practice a try, let me know how it feels.

With love,
Fede

Such an intimate and powerful gathering tonight under the Nee Moon in Sagittarius and getting close to the Winter Solstice.

Such a blessing to gather with new and old friends, and travel to our inner light.

If there is one thing I’m grateful for in this very hard year, is all the people that have showed up for me and shared practice. The presence, appreciation and trust I have been given has been absolutely incredible.

And thank you to @jennpfalk and her space @constellation_ville for creating such a perfect nest for our nervous system to rest and heal.

And just like that this IMMENSE round of Advanced Divine Yoga Nidra teacher training has come to completion.

I couldn’t be more grateful to @jenniferreisyoga for the deep learnings that have impacted not only my practice, but also how I write my journeys and how I unleash my imagination.

It has been incredibly transformative, and I will bring in my heart the sweet time spent together with this amazing group of teachers.

Love to you all, my heart is full 💗

Over the last year I received so many words of support and appreciation, and always felt shy to share.

Thank you Meghan J. For the sweetest feedback, and for showing up to class with the biggest smile and words of appreciation.

As I step with more confidence in what I have to offer and this new way of being, I will be sharing periodically testimonials and feedback from the yogis who are on the receiving end of my offerings.

Before the end of the year, let’s harvest what went well and the love we gave and received. Let’s use that as wood for the flame of the new year in front of us.

With my eternal gratitude to all the yogis who showed up for me and with me, who shared space, words and energy. You mean to me more than you can imagine.

Let’s hand in hand walk through this path is this chaotic world, knowing we can be community and connection for each others.

For this #innerbloommondays we bring in the card “Grace Follows Awkward” from Wild Chorus deck from @abacuscorvus.

This card is about doing it anyways, not expecting to be perfect at something to start having fun. Just joining the dance before we know the steps.

And… we forgive ourselves for being learners, for needing to live and experience things to build that confidence. When the expectation of picture perfect does from within, it ripples out as we help others too to joins their own dance.

Is there something in your life you feel a newbie at? An upcoming change that seems challenging? Try this practice out and let me know int he comments how it feels!

Join me on Friday December 19th 6.30p @constellation_ville for my official last yoga Nidra workshop of the year!

This month we will gather for a special journey edition called the “Sailing towards the light: Winter Solstice and New Moon in Sagittarius Nidra”. 🛥️🌑🕯️❄️

We have so much going on in that week from a celestial standpoint! The Winter Solstice is my favorite, these days are called in the Celtic calendar the “darkest depths”, but this is also the season of light that will come back more and more after the Solstice.

Why should you join? I’m glad you asked!

Yoga Nidra is a mindfulness meditation that allows us to travel across the five layers of our being (Koshas), and reach deep states of relaxation and healing.

Plus we get to go to very wonderful places as one key part of the meditation includes a Journey.

This one will really allow us to explore the dark skies of a New Moon Night, the adventurous sailing towards the horizon to find the light of the Solstice, and a special encounter with a snow owl!🦉I mean what more can we ask for?

This one will be special, only few spots are available book yours! Link in stories.

So very proud for completing the first step of the advanced Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra training with @jenniferreisyoga 💗

I learnt so much on how we can bring the hearts intention and healing in a Yoga Nidra journey so that we can connect deeply with our inner layers!

November has been busy, still working on completing the second advanced training by the end of December.

Yoga Nidra is an absolute gift, and practice is teaching me day after day that we can truly travel within our inner layers and find some moments of healing and peace.

As always so thankful to @jenniferreisyoga for the heartfelt guidance, and fun and joy that she brings to the world. So proud of calling her my teacher!

For this #innerbloommonday I am bringing a practice about taking our own time and aligning ourselves to the life of a seed, flower, fruit.

All happens in divine and right timing in Nature. We are asked to be productive in every season, blossoming fruiting with no rest, no hibernation.

And so in this new month of December (one of my favorites!) let’s bring and infuse some of this no rush essence.

When I don’t rush, I have time and space to enjoy my gardens.

Try it out and let me know how it feels! Do you also struggle with rushing through life?

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.

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.

Are you ready for a cozy and intimate Yoga Nidra experience @constellation_ville?

Join me on Friday November 21 for a special Yoga Nidra guided journey inspired to the New Moon in Scorpio! 🌑♏️🦂

🌊We will travel to the deep waters of the Ocean, finding connection with our heart and deep feelings. There will be some bioluminescent light magic in the journey and as always… some surprise encounters we will make.

🗓️I hope you can join me on November 21st at 6.30p @constellation_ville in Somerville.

🫂November can be an intense month and an intense season. Let’s gather together and find some connection with the New Moon.

🌑 New Moons are all about starting with a blank slate and planting seeds and intentions. And this one is a lot about transformation and welcoming where we are, and be loved for it.

You can find links in BIO and stories. We have limited space for this event, sign up to secure your spot!

Love from the heart of hearts,
Fede

💓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.
