In 2009, after years of seminars in Milan, Lino Miele decided to open here, in Viale Caldara 9, the second Ashtanga Yoga School in Italy after Rome, together with some students including Pinuccia Buscaglia and Sandra Mazzucchelli, who trained under his guidance and have been with him for years.
The mission of the School is to teach and spread the practice and philosophy of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in its traditional form, as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.

Lino Miele is widely renowned as one of the most authoritative teachers of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga internationally. His initial interest in yoga dates back to the early 1980s when he began traveling to India in search of a guru. In January 1988, he met Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (“Guruji”), marking the beginning of a long-term teacher-student relationship and becoming a devoted Ashtanga yoga student.
In 1993, under the guidance of Guruji, Lino published his first book, “Astanga Yoga,” which provides a clear understanding of the methods for the first and second series. In 1994, Lino, along with very few other students, was certified by Guruji to teach Ashtanga Yoga.
With Guruji’s approval, Lino established traditional Ashtanga Yoga schools in Finland, Denmark, Argentina, and Italy, including Rome and Milan. In 2000, he opened the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Rome, and in 2009, he expanded his reach to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In 2012, he published “Astanga Yoga Book – The Yoga of Breath,” which contains descriptions of the primary series, the intermediate series, and the advanced A and B series, also known as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series.
Lino Miele regularly holds workshops and retreats in Italy and around the world.

In early 1999, Pinuccia enrolled in an Ashtanga Yoga class in an attempt to seek balance in her hectic manager life. Six months later, she meets Lino Miele in one of his workshops and, little by little, his life begins to change.

In 2001 she starts to assist Lino and by the end of 2002, she left her job to devote herself to the study of Ashtanga Yoga. She assists Lino in Kovalam during his winter retreat and joins him in Mysore to practice with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 2004.

She then started teaching in Milan and in 2009 she was one of the founders of the Ashtanga Yoga School in Milan, where she teaches every day. Sweet, but firm, she won’t let you pass one.

When Sandra meets Ashtanga Yoga in the 90s, she is already in mature age. Thanks to the incredible energy and well-being that practice gives her, she right away understands that she is at a turning point in her life.
She constantly follows his teacher, Lino Miele, in his workshops both in Europe and in India.
A few years later, Lino himself encouraged her to teach in Milan with Pinuccia Buscaglia, it was 2004.

In 2009, her dream finally came true: together with other Lino’s students, she founded the Ashtanga Yoga School in Milan.

Globetrotter, she lived first in London than in Miami, always passionate about fitness, Nadia met yoga in 2006, after a long experience both as a practitioner and as a bodybuilding teacher. However, the meeting with Lino Miele two years later will make her make the definitive leap.

Ashtanga becomes her daily practice, a long and continuous path of inner transformation, and a few years later she leaves the gyms to teach in the shala.

In 2011 she was authorized to teach Ashtanga yoga by the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Rome.

Lella was practically born into yoga and fitness. She met Ashtanga in 2005 after twenty-five years of practicing and teaching Hatha yoga and other physical disciplines. She immediately senses that the energy, awareness and inner balance that Ashtanga transmits to her have a strong impact on her life.
She, therefore, decides to devote herself entirely to this discipline, while continuing her research path in Eastern philosophies.
She follows Lino Miele in his workshops in Italy and abroad and in 2008 she begins to assist Pinuccia Buscaglia and Sandra Mazzucchelli.

In 2011 she was authorized to teach Ashtanga yoga by the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Rome.

Iacopo has always been interested and fascinated by concentration techniques to observe phenomena; and along its inner search that he met and started his daily Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practice in 2018. He immediately found in this practise a tool for psycho-physical balance and a deep support to face the daily difficulties. Lino Miele became his teacher and a guide to accompany him in his personal development, together with the teachers of the School.

In 2019, he completed a Master’s degree in Cooperation and Development Project Management. The following year, he left the financial world to work for non-governmental organisations and began teaching yoga with the desire to give back the benefits he received through his own practise.
