Fabio Fabbri
I left Italy to travel the world. Over twelve years, the many cultures and people I encountered fostered in me a great respect for individuality as well as for the ancient traditions. Along the way, I discovered Yoga, dedicating myself daily to the practice. I also found my life partner Natalia and together, we created our family. I teach from my practice, a continuous well of wisdom. On the mat, I connect both with the ancients, the Yogis, and with my body, my system and how it responds to the work. This passion that I have for Yoga has led me to lecture at Nature Care College, as well as on numerous Yoga Teacher Training programs in Sydney. These led me to eventually write and deliver my own 500 hour Teacher Training, based on the 5 Elements and always in connection with the power of Nature. I opened Guringai Yoga Shala in 2015 to realise my long-held dream of creating a space where I could share my love of classical Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa where movement meets breath and is experienced as a flowing meditation. I also uphold in my classes the principles of the path that take place 'off the mat', that I believe are essential for a more authentic way of life and can contribute to a greater sense of self-awareness. I have also undergone formal training in Outdoor Education to help me facilitate more Nature based activities within my Yoga events. I am deeply passionate about fostering an appreciation of health and wellness in people as well as a reverence for the natural world that we live in. I seek to create beautiful, positive experiences for people to be nourished and inspired to grow. I am happy to offer mentoring sessions, design individual practices and share a deeper experience of Yoga with you, either in private consultation, in a group class or on our regular international retreats. |

For as far back as I remember, I felt and understood things deeply. As a child, I loved three things: people, magic or mysticism and drawing, I studied complex 'languages' and world views such as Yoga, Ayurveda, Gestalt, and Shamanic Psychotherapy. I make a good therapist as my work is a culmination of my own personal and interesting experiments, which I am able to set aside in order to be fully present and client-centred in the session, and I operate with much intuition. Oh and I have a few relevant qualifications, and a few irrelevant ones too. I genuinely enjoy people, and am nourished by meaningful encounters. I am passionate about humanist values in the world. My open curiosity around the human experience has led me to work with homeless women in a red light district refuge, as an intern doctor in an Ayurvedic hospital in Kerala, India, as a teacher on various Yoga Teacher Trainings, as a lecturer at Nature Care College, and as a writer for the New York Spirit Magazine. Still to this day, I write, I teach Ayurveda and applied Spiritual Psychology, lead corporate Mindfulness programs for staff wellbeing and see clients in my private practice, either for their physical or mental health or both. When I am not working, I love hanging at home as a family, walking the dog, finding a joyful outlet for 'my flow', playing how I like to play; writing, drawing...
