BIO Tania Velez

Tania, born in Colombia, has been a passionate spiritual seeker since childhood, guided by the timeless question, “Who am I?” Her journey began in 1998 through meditation, an encounter that revealed her life’s path. A decade later, she embraced the practice of Hatha Yoga and completed a four-year teacher training with the Italian Yoga Federation.

In pursuit of her calling, Tania left a career in marketing and moved to Rome for love, fully dedicating herself to the study and teaching of yoga. She is now a certified yoga and meditation teacher and the founder of Lighthouse Yoga in Rome — a warm, heart-centered space devoted to building a community guided by the light of practice.

Her teaching honors the classical yoga tradition, while her Colombian roots bring enthusiasm, joy, and vibrant energy to her classes. She encourages her students to cultivate awareness, inner balance, and a personal connection to the practice, always reminding them that, as she says, “The real yoga is what you can’t see.”

Tania’s deepest aspiration is that each of us may leave a gentle trace of kindness on this Earth — an imprint of love, presence, and compassion that radiates far beyond the yoga mat.
