Ciao! My name is Daniela. I’m a Level 2 Navakaraṇa instructor from Italy. I completed Module 1 and Module 2 in Fuerteventura in June 2023 and January 2024, followed by Modules 3 and 4 in Barcelona in February and June 2025 with Dario Calvaruso.

Coming from a family of physical education teachers, I’ve always been deeply connected to movement. My background in dance, languages, arts, and various philosophical traditions eventually led me to a Buddhist centre in London, where I studied yoga and meditation with monks.

Fluent in Italian, English, and Spanish, I’ve travelled extensively in search of meaningful practices. My journey took me to India for my first teacher training, motivated by the intention to find a methodology that could unify my diverse interests into a single, coherent art form.

Open to non-conventional approaches and creative experimentation, I discovered Navakaraṇa in 2022 and immediately felt a strong connection to its philosophy and practice.

I’m currently organising retreats on the Italian island of Ischia, hosted at the world’s oldest spa. I’m open to teaching classes, leading retreats, and collaborating on projects that align with my values and vision.
