Carolina Inda (Sagara)

Background
Carolina Inda is a teacher with a broad and deep training, on a path that brings together Eastern disciplines, holistic practices and an ongoing inner search.
After an early life of economics studies and open-sea voyages, in 2011 she began a process of transformation that led her to live in Costa Rica, where she discovered yoga, raw food and shamanic practices. Back in Italy, she trained as a holistic practitioner and deepened her study of Taiji Quan and Qi Gong under Master Jiajingquan, a direct disciple of Chen Xiaowang.
In 2017 she qualified as a Taiji and Qi Gong instructor and flew to China, to the village of Chenjiagou, where she studied Chen style at the school of Chen Xiaoxing, taking part in competitions and winning two gold medals. Back in Italy, she began a new training path with Master Marcello Sidoti, a direct disciple of Wang Xian. She became the regional head for Campania of the Wang Xian Taiji Italy school, where she still studies today, with regular refresher courses and ongoing training.
In 2025 she obtained her diploma as a Dao Yin instructor with Master Fabio Smolari, following the method of Professor Zhang Guangde.
Over the years she has broadened her training in integrated well-being: she earned a second diploma in Kruchik-method Foot Reflexology, and trained in traditional Indonesian massage in Bali and in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi at Osho Afroz.
In 2023 she completed her training in Harmonic Sound Massage (MSA) with Albert Rabenstein, a therapist with over 40 years of experience in sound therapy, and is now listed among the certified practitioners on Suono Armonico.
For over 10 years she has cultivated the practice of meditation and woven it into her daily life and her programmes, from Transcendental Meditation and Vipassana to Osho Active Meditations. Since 2022 she has been following Prashantam’s I.T.S. MY LIFE programme, dedicated to personal growth and to leading personal-growth groups.
