15 Things to Do in Pisa Beyond the Leaning Tower
Stefania Gobbi
I'm Stefania, a certified Yoga teacher (YTT Jason Crandell Yoga Method) and a Yoga Alliance member. I'm based in the Tuscan hills near Pisa. I've been practicing different styles of yoga for more than 23 years and I can now say that my passion lies in Vinyasa yoga — I'm fascinated by how the physical discipline interweaves with its meditative essence, creating a practice that nurtures both body and mind. As an avid traveller myself, I understand what it means to seek balance while exploring new places. I'm fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, and also speak French — so we can practice in whichever language feels most natural to you. I'm also an AIS certified sommelier and I'm happy to recommend the perfect local wine to complement your Tuscan experience. I also offer professional interpreting services for visitors to Tuscany.
