About Me
Hi! My name is Stefania Grappeggia
and I am a postural yoga teacher based in Como and on Youtube. I created the Olis Method: a holistic approach that combines postural yoga, corrective exercise and self-treatment techniques to help those living with back pain, muscle tension and chronic stress rediscover strength, lightness and lasting well-being — in both body and mind.
My core disciplines are: Postural Yoga, Massage Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy and Somato-Emotional Release
My professional journey began after graduating in Biomedical Laboratory Science, when I started working at the IEO — the European Institute of Oncology. It was a deeply fulfilling experience, but over time the intense pace left me with less and less space for myself.
As a naturally sensitive person, I tended to hold onto both physical and emotional tension. At just 24, I was stiff, inflexible, short of breath and easily irritable. On the advice of a colleague, I tried a yoga class — and immediately knew it was my path.
Yoga as a Lifestyle
I noticed people in their 40s around me who were relaxed, joyful and at ease in their bodies. I wanted that too! To reconnect with myself, breathe more slowly, and feel harmony between body and mind. The more I practised, the more my body opened up and my mind became fluid and aware.
I discovered that yoga is a constant inner journey: the deeper you go within yourself, the more clearly you see and understand the world around you.
The Olis Method
After five years, I took a leap of faith: I quit my job and moved to Ireland, stepping out of my comfort zone to start fresh from a blank page.
There I completed my training in Craniosacral Therapy and Upledger Somato-Emotional Release, qualified as a certified yoga teacher, and worked in a medical clinic as a craniosacral therapist — a discipline recognised in Ireland as an independent practice, distinct from osteopathy.
Back in Italy, I established my own private practice and qualified as a Massage Therapist. I continue to attend advanced training in Craniosacral Therapy and work as a simultaneous interpreter for the Upledger Institute.
An effective holistic healing formula that allows women and men who suffer particularly from prolonged stress-related discomfort to regain the physical, emotional and mental energy they have long desired, never to lose it again! Today, I am grateful to life and to Yoga for everything it has given me, and thanks to Postural Yoga with the Olis Method, I have the opportunity to show this path to other people in search of well-being, lightness, and gratitude.
