Alessandra Castelli
Founder
After a master degree in food culture and a ten-year career with the University of Gastronomic Sciences, I am now delighted to direct my skills and passions towards serving individual well-being.
I think I was born an explorer, of both places and tastes. As a little kid, my curiosity drove me to climb every tree in my yard, to peer at their branches and lichens and insects, and to chew on the bitter olives they produced—until my stomach rebelled. (Olives remain my favorite food to this day, despite their early uncomfortable effects!)
In parallel to my professional experiences, yoga became part of my life in 2012, a point of contact for listening to the self, being in movement, and sustaining a body that moves a lot! In 2018, I became an instructor (RYS 200 – Yoga Alliance), and started leading classes at the Studio YOGA – ARYA asd in Alba.
In 2014, I founded Menscorpore with my brother, Nicola. Our objective is to share practices related to well-being, through food, healthy relationships, and physical activity.
MensCorpore Experiences specifically address those businesses and organizations that want to take care of their people. My aim is to create (and sometimes lead) learning experiences that are based in mindfulness, and which valorize the natural and gastronomic resources of the regions in which our programs are offered.
