About

Simona Fontanella

Hello lovely human!

I'm Simona, a yoga teacher based in Zurich, Switzerland. I teach Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga on the mat, Aerial Yoga in the silk, and Yoga Nidra.

My yoga journey started rather casually around 10 years ago, as a way to move, try something new, and connect with people. Through its ups and downs, the practice became much more than that. I've discovered new strengths, challenged my boundaries, and learned to appreciate what my body can offer each day. One of the most valuable lessons yoga continues to teach me is that perfection isn't the goal: every practice is different, and that's exactly how it should be.

Curiosity is at the heart of both my personal practice and my teaching. I see myself as an explorer, always learning and experimenting, and I bring that same spirit into my classes. Sometimes that means playful sequences and opportunities to challenge yourself; other times, slowing down, turning your attention inward, and noticing what happens in stillness. There's room for strength, rest, and everything in between, without pressure to perform or get everything right.

Music has always been a big part of my life, and it naturally finds its way into my teaching. I put almost as much thought into my playlists as I do into my sequences, choosing music that supports the intention and feeling of each class. And there's usually a little humour along the way!

There's no single right way to experience yoga. I encourage you to listen to yourself, make choices, and find your own way through the practice. My hope is that you leave with something that stays with you beyond the mat, whether that's a fresh perspective, a little more confidence, or a kinder attitude towards yourself.

I look forward to exploring together, on the mat, in the silk, and in stillness!
