Piera Polo

I move between light and stillness, with a camera in one hand and a yoga mat under the other. My work is rooted in human connection: through the lens, breath and thread. As a freelance photographer, I specialize in capturing people as they are, unpolished, powerful, present. I focus on portraits, personal branding, and family photography, my approach is intuitive, playful, and slow, not staged, but discovered. I don’t ask people to smile; I wait for them to remember something worth smiling for. In parallel, I teach Hatha Yoga and meditation, guiding others through the discovery of the body and mind. My teaching is gentle and grounded in real life, not acrobatics, but presence. I’m currently specializing in adaptive yoga for those living with chronic illness or navigating cancer. My offerings extend beyond the mat and the studio. I design personalized online classes for individuals seeking a more intimate, way to practice, no matter where they are. And for a full immersion experience, I can host yoga retreats on the island of El Hierro, a quiet, volcanic corner of the Canaries where nature does most of the teaching, a place to reconnect body, breath, and soul. I also create with my hands: macramé wall hangings, jewelry, and textile accessories,pieces crafted slowly. Born in Italy, I now live in the Canary Islands. I speak Italian, Spanish, and English. Whether behind the camera, on the mat, or at the workbench, I offer the same thing: a space to pause, to feel, to be seen.
