Sattva Master Teacher · Psychologist · Sattva Tuscany Director
Francesca Maria Salerno is a Sattva Master Teacher, psychologist, and meditation guide with over 20 years of experience in yoga and inner transformation. She spent four formative years living and studying at Sattva Yoga Academy in the Himalayas, immersing herself in the living tradition of Yog-Vedanta and Himalayan Kundalini practices.
She is the founder of Sattva Yoga Roma and Sattva Tuscany, and serves as the Teacher Training Director for Sattva Yoga Academy in Italy. Through her work, Francesca bridges ancient yogic wisdom with modern psychological insight, offering teachings that are deeply rooted in tradition while profoundly relevant to contemporary life.
Her classes integrate kriya, meditation, mantra, subtle energetics, and self-inquiry, guiding students toward direct experience rather than conceptual understanding. Alongside teaching, she is devoted to community building, teacher mentorship, and transformational retreats.
At the heart of Francesca’s work is a passion for creating spaces where individuals can reconnect with their authentic nature and step into leadership rooted in awareness, integrity, and love.
Yoga is the continuous remembering of who we truly are. It is not something I practice, it is the field of awareness I return to in every aspect of life.
Silent seated meditation with breath awareness and subtle mantra. Simplicity reveals everything.
To soften without losing strength. To lead without controlling. To trust the intelligence of life more deeply each day.
Awareness first. Always.
Direct experience is the only real knowledge. Everything else is borrowed.
A shift from thinking to being. A remembrance of their inner power. A deep, embodied connection to something vast, intimate, and real.
Your purpose here is to evolve, to transform, to experience your radical aliveness, to awaken to your true nature. You are the path. The path is you. The time is now.
