Emanuela Selva’s yoga classes are amazing. I started taking her classes 6 months ago, 2 to 3 times a week. I remember my first class feeling totally out of alignment, not in flow and an amateur at pretty much all the poses. I hadn’t taken yoga since the pandemic and wanted to get back into it. I was lucky to have found her classes at LA Fitness. She synchronizes breath and movement seamlessly. Between her Hatha and Vinyasa flow classes, she puts together a perfect choreography of movements. Each class is unique to its goal, and she curates the best music that plays to your movement and flow. She is a yoga teacher that clearly loves what she does, and it shows in her energy and how she conducts her class. It’s a perfect symphony. Six months later I can do poses I never thought were possible, I have more mobility and flexibility. And most importantly, I can connect and go within in a flow state guided by her verbal, visual cues and the music. It’s become such an important part of my weekly routine. It’s a gift and I highly recommend her classes.

“Best Private Yoga Instructor in Los Angeles is Emanuela Selva! Emanuela Selva’s skills, talent and intuition are unparalleled. She tailored my yoga study to fit me, my body goals, timeline and my personality. She effortlessly knocked down any negative voices in my head and instilled me with an “I can” spirit. And her choice of music – Brava! Emanuela’s yoga music is exemplary, allowing me to thoroughly concentrate on my practice for maximum results. I immediately saw a positive shift in the way I looked after one session. After one week of practice, I lost 4 pounds and looked significantly fitter, more vibrant and healthy. Moreover, Emanuela taught me confidence. I look forward to every session with her and continue to keep looking and feeling better. I am achieving my physical goal and having the greatest time. Thank you, Emanuela, for making the discipline of yoga so fun and accessible! I highly recommend Emanuela Selva as a personal yoga instructor. If you are fortunate enough to be accepted as her student it will be a very uplifting, positive and rewarding experience.”

“Emanuela has helped me refocus and get back into yoga. Being a caregiver to my family, I found that I was putting myself last, and not taking any time for me. Emanuela reminded me that I am important, valuable, and that I deserve to feel great again. I have experienced some injuries that have slowed me down; Emanuela has tailored my lessons to accommodate where I am now, and as I progress, we add more poses and I am regaining my flexibility. The breath work and meditation has helped reduce my stress levels too! I am grateful that I found Emanuela, she really cares about helping people feel their best! Thanks Emy!”
– Vicki Susan (Los Angeles, CA)
“During her classes, Emanuela creates an intimate yoga experience that helps students to feel comfortable in their study, and to explore their limitations and strengths. Her directions are to the point, accurate, and able to meet any practitioner’s needs, so that her lessons can have a great positive impact in both novice and more advanced practitioners. As a martial arts instructor myself, with more than a decade of experience in both martial arts and yoga, I can tell Emanuela’s knowledge is well rounded in whole yoga aspects, from breathing techniques to more dynamic asanas. The subtle use of music she does, helps getting the students into the right mindset, and her adjustments and corrections never interfere with the flow of asanas. In addition, she is extremely passionate, driven, and willing to improve her student’s yoga practice in order to achieve a healthy mind and body condition while moving at their own pace.”
– Giacomo Nobile (Martial Arts Instructor- Los Angeles, CA)
“I am so pleased with the education Emanuela has provided to me for my private yoga practice. She has helped me achieve new strength and agility in only a few weeks! I was a bit nervous because I had fallen out of yoga for about 15 years, and now I have a renewed confidence and emotional grounding that has been gently stirred from a deep slumber. She reminds me that the practice is not a competition of who can do it better, but of setting your own intentions and respecting your limitations as you feel them approach. And it is ok! I highly recommend Emanuela for anyone who is feeling fatigued, uninspired or perhaps a bit unhealthy or seeking calm and connectivity. My results are growing each week and it is a constant new beginning. Namaste!”
– Stacey Wilson (Producer- Los Angeles, CA)
“I had the pleasure of taking Yoga classes with Emanuela Selva over the last 3 months. I had never done Yoga before so she started out very slow and easy for me. Then, as time went on she pushed me and I did not want to let her down so I did it! After every class I felt so good! She is an excellent instructor. She is so calm and she is also very informative as she teaches. She has a lot of positive energy and is very supportive. I lost a total of 10 lbs and my body feels so much better. I have tried some online yoga with other instructors but she is still the best in my book! You will not be disappointed.”
