About

Annamaria Sacco

I started practicing yoga age 21, when I came to Scotland, as a way out of pain from a car crash on a motorway years before. I was very lucky with the teachers I met (I believe that to be the case for my whole life).I studied in the Iyengar system until reaching senior level in the system. I worked remedially with patients since 2006. I noticed that the more I grew in my experience, the more complex and emotionally demanding were the 1:1 that were arriving, so I kept noticing and studying to verify and go further. I started using my Core Process Psychotherapy sessions for supervision we noticed. That was around 2011. In 2003, after my son was born, craniosacral therapy came into my life and I was a client for 13 years, before deciding to train out of pure love for the practice in 2016 at CCST London. In the world of Yoga, I met Firooza Ali Razvi in 2004, in Mumbai, and her teaching touched me so deeply I followed her everywhere she taught for a month everyday, and when I bought the garage that became my yoga studio for 19 years, I invited her over to the UK every year and for 19 years we weaved together beautiful courses and retreats for teachers, which I organised and she taught. In 2020 I left IY UK to allow the teaching voice in me to have space to transform and include more of the experience that life and craniosacral therapy as well as yoga had given me. Other things about me: I studied the Foundational year or Core Process Psychotherapy. In 2024 I completed the 5 years journey of IBT training with Matthew Appleton in pre and perinatal birth imprints. In 2020-2021 in the midst of the pandemic I went to Leith School of Art, and was awarded the drawing award for the year. I have since found the courage to have two solos exhibitions and self publish a poetry collection called Meanderings. I am a dancer, i am a writer, I adore nature and it is my biggest inspiration and resource. I love movement as process and keep that as my own practice which I am keen to share more of. Last but not least, I am a supervisor in training with CSTD London.
