Marzia Bendotti is born in Italy. She lives in Milan with her family. She has three children,
three cats and a dog. Marzia fell in love with yoga in her childhood. She initially
approached intense and dynamic practices such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga. Sporty
and passionate, she started working with children as a swimming teacher throughout the
university.
During her first pregnancy she changed the way of practicing yoga. She discovered all
benefits of Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, Meditation and Mindfulness. She experienced how
yoga could benefit in every single phase of life. This idea turned into a belief when she
became mother for the third time.
For many years Marzia concentrated on raising her three children. Meanwhile, she worked
as a consultant for a genetics laboratory. The mission of this company is to
divulge prenatal screening tests, preconception and genetic tests to prevent female reproductive system neoplasms. The woman, the mother and her
future child are the center of Marzia’s daily work.
Her professional studies, together with her studies in naturopathy, have led her over the years
to look for a holistic discipline that could lead to the prevention of illness and to a general
well-being of the person. In Yoga practice she has found the right combination between
working on physical body, energetic body and mind.
Marzia is a passionate reader and dedicates all her free time studying and training. She
becomes a certified yoga teacher. Today yoga has become a lifestyle for her. She is a full-
time yoga teacher and co-director of a yoga studio. The yoga studio has more than 300
students. She teaches yoga in Kindergartens, primary and secondary schools.
Her approach to teaching yoga to children and teens is educational; she strongly believes
that yoga can help them to become adults with self awareness, responsability, respect of
them selves, other people and our planet.
Her teaching method is the summary of her long experience working with children and
adolescents.
