Giorgia Bunkofer Sumayya

Movement guide and yin yoga teacher, Giorgia offers grounding presence and deep listening as she holds space for transformation through stillness and creative motion. “Born and raised in Lugano (Switzerland), from a young age I began to nurture a deep interest in inner exploration, in the wisdom of our body and the search for “the Truth”. This led me first to train as medical massage therapist with a federal certificate and then as Yoga teacher

(Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin).

The body is a wonderful vehicle through which we can explore the world around us and at the same time it is the “temple” that hosts us.

Bringing body knowledge into yoga practice allows me to deepen my understanding of asanas from a physical point of view, which goes hand in hand with the spiritual dimension.

Meditation, silence and investigation of the Self are for me the key to transformation and perpetual growth and knowledge of our nature. During the last three years I’ve being magically led into Islamic and Sufi teachings and beauty, this allows me to explore my practices from another perspective and deepen my study and knowledge into a way I can guide yoga and meditation for Muslim ladies’ groups also.

I like to dedicate myself to sharing what I learn with people who cross my path.

Based between Greece, Spain and Switzerland, I offer now different kind of retreats, online, private and group yoga classes and treatments.
