Somatic Competence® Yoga Teacher and Sex Educator
I am Alessia Baretta, PhD in Bioengineering, graduated in Psychology, Yoga Teacher and Sex Educator, with a deep interest in the link between body, awareness and well-being. Through trauma-informed yoga, I help people rediscover authentic self-listening, creating safe and inclusive spaces where movement becomes a tool for exploration and healing. In 2018 I founded the Somatic Competence® Yoga Training School within the Institute of Integrated Psychosomatics, a training school for yoga teachers that combines yoga practice with neuroscience and trauma psychology, offering tools for more conscious teaching based on somatic listening. In addition, in 2022 I graduated as a Sex Educator at AISPA (Italian Association of Sexology and Applied Psychology), expanding my skills in the field of sexuality education with a scientific and inclusive approach. I am deepening my journey as a sexual consultant in training, to offer increasingly complete tools in the field of sexuality education and the relationship between body and emotions. I offer yoga sessions dedicated to women with problems in the pelvic area, such as chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, muscle tension or difficulties related to body perception. I work with an integrated approach, considering the body as a global system in which every part is interconnected: pelvic well-being does not only concern the specific area, but is profoundly influenced by posture, breathing, emotional state and nervous system. Through gentle movements, relaxation techniques and conscious work on the mind-body connection, I help women rediscover a more harmonious relationship with their bodies, improving comfort, mobility and a sense of inner security.
The first therapeutic yoga encounter is a moment of deep listening and welcome. It's a protected space where you can stop, breathe, tell yourself, carry your story as it is. In this first appointment you can bring what you feel important: bodily experiences, recurring emotions, significant events, any genito-pelvic problems and other therapeutic paths that you are following. You can express your desires and needs, and together we will define the first directions, in full respect of your times, your body language and your boundaries. This meeting is the foundation of a tailor-made journey, which is built step by step, in relationship and with care. It's a time to start inhabiting yourself.
I believe in a kind approach, which respects suffering, scientifically informed and accessible, that allows everyone to feel at home in their body and in their experience.
