Meet Aroonji — Founder of Yogasole Studio

Born in India, yoga was just the daily PT class at school for me—something I barely tolerated and never truly understood. It wasn’t until my thirties, after years of travel and living across three continents, that I rediscovered the pure joy and deep connection of yoga. My curiosity led me to seek meaning and spirit in every corner of the world.

I spent decades immersed in the Waldorf and anthroposophical communities in India and USA, finding inspiration from Western thinkers like Rudolf Steiner, Karl König, Goethe, and the stoic philosophers. I explored movement in all its forms, from Bothmer gymnastics to eurythmy and martial arts—always drawn to discovering how we connect body, mind, and spirit.

In 2019, my journey brought me to Italy with my wonderful wife Sofia and our three children. We settled in her family’s beautiful home among the olive hills of Fiesole, and I felt called to become a full-time yoga teacher—blending the wisdom of the East and West here in the heart of Tuscany.

My foundation remains in Hatha yoga, but over the years I’ve ventured into Kundalini, yin, dynamic yoga, qi gong, ancient and modern breathwork, tantra, Ayurveda, and life coaching. I’ve even developed new forms, like “Etheric yoga,” that invite deeper exploration and healing.

My goal is always to keep yoga and wellbeing accessible to all. I offer reasonable prices, discounts, and scholarships for those who need support.

Together with my wife, Sofia—an artist, musician, and skilled massage therapist—we run Yogasole Studio, host retreats and workshops, and care for our family olive farm.

We look forward to welcoming you to our humble sanctuary.

Come as you are; let’s discover and grow together at Yogasole.
