TOIA

A bit about me

I am Victoria Scaffino, aka Toia, and since I was a child, I have been passionate about body movement. I instinctively knew it had a positive impact on my health and wellbeing and gave me great confidence to achieve my goals in life. Guided by that calling I explored many forms of movement and when I discovered Pilates at the age of 26 I understood that this was my path.

​

I was also very attracted to the ocean, beach life and traveling and little by little I made my way towards a life by the sea doing and sharing what I love most.

​

I'm a Social Communicator, a graduate of the University of Salvador in Buenos Aires, and after a brief foray into the world of fashion and advertising, I discovered that my deepest calling was related to the body, not from the outside, but from within. That's where my journey of exploration into the world of movement began. I am certified in Pilates (Stott Pilates®), Hatha Yoga (Anusara School of Hatha Yoga®), Yin Yoga (Yoga Yin®), Thai Massage, and the PSP® Method (Viviana Pereyra).

​

I have an adventurous and curious soul, and I am very drawn to different and distant cultures, which led me to live and work in countries like Egypt, Indonesia, Hawaii, Australia, Sri Lanka, and India, learning different ways of living and thinking.

​

Also, at the same time I started studying Pilates, I started surfing as well, and so, without realizing it, over time I developed a synergistic methodology that includes not only my knowledge in the different disciplines I trained in, but also my experience as a surfer, my work with people of different nationalities, my travels around the world, and my optimistic outlook on life.

​

They say my teaching style is entertaining and dynamic, fun and humorous, and that I explain things very well ;)

​

Alo Toia -A lo Toia- literally means “like "Toia does it" and it's my way of sharing the movement that gives me strength, health, well-being and happiness.
