Gianni Valenti
Beyond postures, Gianni feels a deepening love for learning the wisdom weaved into the ancient texts of yoga. Understanding that yoga is a way of life, not merely just a physical exercise, is the source of his passion for sharing this Indic school of thought. Yoga turned Gianni’s suit-and-tie finance life downside up, and now his special blend for the spiritual practice of yoga and the methodical reasoning of the corporate world creates a unique offering: distilling ancient wisdom into practical tools for the modern mind.
Since beginning his journey, Gianni has served as an Assistant Yoga Teacher Trainer, facilitator, and yoga teacher all along the eastern coast of Australia, helping inspire new teachers and students alike.
Getting to know the Zenko Team
Do you have a mantra/quote that you often turn to?
“Do what you love, and love will find you” “Everything on the mat is a metaphor for life”
How do you fill up your love tank?
Finding balance between play and rest.
What advice would you give someone wondering whether to try yoga for the first time?
Don’t worry about what happens within the 4 corners of your mat. Treat each class like you’re at school always asking yourself “how can I apply this teaching to my daily life?”. Yoga is not supposed to make you better at yoga. It makes you better at life.
