Why go
Stefania Grappeggia is a postural yoga teacher in Como. She created the Olis Method, which blends postural yoga with corrective exercise and self-treatment, to help people with back pain, muscle tension and stress regain strength and ease of movement.
Her path began in a biomedical laboratory, before yoga drew her away. She trained in craniosacral therapy and Somato-Emotional Release in Ireland, then qualified as a massage therapist back in Italy, where she now runs a private practice.
