Paola Lucchesi
I was born and raised in Italy. In 1995 I moved to Marseille, France where I graduated with a degree in Human resources management. In 1998 I moved to San Diego with my husband Anton, and here I fell in love with both Yoga and Pilates. I enjoyed practicing both disciplines as a client for 5 years. When I moved back to Milan in 2002, I decided to engage the path of becoming a Pilates instructor. I was first certified as a Pilates Mat instructor through the Italian Covatech Pilates in 2003 and then in 2005 through the American Polestar Pilates school.
I taught in a health club center for a period of 3 years and then in my home studio.
In 2008 my family and I moved back to San Diego. Here I felt the need to re-explore the Yoga world in a much deeper way. I then attended and got certified as a Vinyasa and Anusara Yoga instructor through the Prana yoga Center in La Jolla in April 2009.
In the same year I also became a Pilates Studio instructor certified by Polestar Pilates.
My teaching skills have highly been enhanced through the combination of Pilates and Yoga principles and poses. Passion is what drives me to teach and to share my love for a healthy and serene lifestyle.
