Tanja Iovene Yoga

Empowering you to improve your health and well-being through the practice of Therapeutic Yoga. Namaste,

Tanja �

I’m a 200-hour alignment-based yoga teacher, pre-and postnatal yoga teacher, and a lifelong student of yoga who’s currently studying towards a 500-hour therapeutic yoga teacher certificate with Yoga Medicine. I’ve studied pre -and postnatal yoga with Birthlight both in Finland and Switzerland and did my 200-hour teacher training with Purna Yoga Helsinki. Yoga came into my life for the first time i

n 2010 and it’s been an important part of my life ever since. I’ve been assisting my teacher Tove Palmgren twice at her annual yoga retreat in Spain and will be there assisting her and learning from her in 2022 as well. I also take private yoga and meditation classes with her once a week to deepen my own practice of yoga and through that, better serve my own students. I’m also a wife, a mother of two, and a nature lover who loves running, hiking and just spending time outdoors as much as possible. I’m passionate about cooking and spreading the joy of preparing simple homemade meals. In my blog, I share the recipes of my yummiest plant-based recipes along with topics related to yoga, motherhood, outdoor adventures. I love Young Living essential oils, their toxin-free products, and how these little bottles of plant power have made it possible for me to create a healthier and more uplifting environment for my family to live in. If this is something that interests you, I am more than happy to share what I’ve learned over the years so that you can benefit from these products the way I have. I’m originally from Finland and have been living in Switzerland since 2017 with my Italian husband and our two children. To me, yoga is a way of living and goes far beyond the physical exercise done on the mat. I embrace all aspects of yoga and strive to make every day a joyful journey. In order to truly be able to shine and feel alive, you need to take care of yourself on many levels. Daily meditation,

healthy & organic food,

applying the wisdoms of yogic philosophy into day-to-day life and

practicing asana & pranayama
are the key principles of creating a meaningful, joyful, and healthy life. My passion is to help people find the joy and importance of daily movement, freedom of breath, and calmness of the mind through yoga poses, breathwork, and meditation. As a mother myself, I feel a deep desire to help other women in their pregnancy and postnatal journeys by offering them a welcoming space and safe yet effective yoga practice that supports their wellbeing during these transformative times in their lives. I am so happy & grateful to have you here in my virtual space and I hope this to be an inspiring place that helps you to transform your life in a way that you can live it to your greatest potential. I’m here to support you so if you have any questions or would like to share a piece of yourself with me just drop me a message and I’ll be happy to get back to you soon!

Da questa settimana riprendono le mie lezioni di yoga a Bellinzona e, dal 10 settembre, si aggiunge una nuova lezione durante la pausa pranzo.

YOGA DEL MATTINO
Ogni mercoledì, 9:00–10:30
Una pratica di 90 minuti che lascia il tempo per muoversi con attenzione, esplorare l’allineamento e lavorare su mobilità, forza, equilibrio e consapevolezza del corpo.

YOGA A PRANZO
Ogni giovedì, 12:15–13:15
Un’ora per interrompere il ritmo della giornata, muovere il corpo e ritornare alle attività del pomeriggio un po’ più presenti e meno tesi.

Entrambe le lezioni sono pratiche di Hatha Yoga basate sull’allineamento, aperte a tutti i livelli.

Federica Dubbini
Piazza Nosetto 3, Bellinzona

A reminder for those of us who find effort easier than rest. 🤍

One thing I have been very consistent with over the years is creating new strength programmes. Following any one of them for long enough to make progress… well, that was another matter. 🙈

It wasn’t that I didn’t know why I wanted to strength train. I wanted to build full-body strength to support my running, yoga practice and long-term health. What I was missing was a programme I trusted enough to follow consistently.

So, while I was in Helsinki, I finally booked a 1:1 session with a personal trainer/osteopath. After assessing how I move, she created a programme tailored to my body, my goals and the equipment I have at home. We went through all the exercises together, and she even challenged me to use heavier weights than I would have chosen for myself.

I came home knowing which exercises to do, how to do them, which weights to use and how to progress. No more second-guessing everything (or constantly changing half of the programme). Having that clarity has also given strength training a much more defined place alongside my running and yoga.

So now my weeks include strength training at home twice a week—or at least I’m doing my best to make that happen. I think I now have a pretty great combination of running, strength training and yoga. Each offers me something different, and I don’t expect any one of them to provide everything my body needs. I see them as complementary rather than competing practices.

Have you ever had a training programme created specifically for you? And did it change the way you trained?

Very happy to be back teaching yoga after a long summer break!

Private classes resumed this week, and group classes will follow soon.

The Federica Dubbini studio also had a little refresh during the break. Some of the furniture was removed, a few new decorative details were added, and we now have much more space to practise. The studio looks even more beautiful than before, and I’m really looking forward to welcoming everyone back.

This autumn, you can practise with me in:

Thalwil at MALAYOGA | Dina De Paola
Fridays, 9:30–11:00 am (starting 21.08.)

Bellinzona at Federica Dubbini
Wednesdays, 9:00–10:30 am (starting 02.09.)

Private yoga is also available in Thalwil, Bellinzona and online.

Whether you would like to return to a regular yoga practice, receive more individual guidance or work on something specific, you are very welcome to join me.

Send me a message if you would like more information about the classes.

One of countless examples of making a pose work for you instead of forcing yourself to fit the pose.

Urdhva Dhanurasana has never been one of my favourite yoga poses, and it may never be. But difficult poses often show us where our limitations are and give us ideas about what we might want to explore in our practice. If I only practised what already felt easy, I wouldn’t learn nearly as much about my body.

Placing blocks under my hands reduces the mobility demand on my shoulders and gives my chest and upper back more space to move. It allows me to practise the actions of the pose without forcing myself into a shape my body cannot currently make comfortably.

A pose isn’t successful because it looks a certain way. Our proportions, mobility, injury history, and anatomy are all different.

The goal isn’t to make your body fit the pose.

The goal is to make the pose fit your body.
