Florencia Faiatt shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Florencia, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
I’m proudest of building something that doesn’t always show on the outside: discipline, patience, and the small daily acts that create a better life. What nobody sees are the early mornings of practice, the hours of study, and the quiet commitment behind every class I teach. It’s not about perfection, but about showing up consistently – because real change comes from those little steps we repeat day after day.
Another thing I hold close to my heart is that I learned how to relax. Growing up, I didn’t know how to give myself that gift. I carried tension, responsibility, and the belief that I had to always be ‘doing’ to be worthy. Through yoga and psychology, I discovered that relaxation is not laziness, it’s wisdom — it’s giving the nervous system permission to restore. That’s something I wish I had known as a child, and today it’s one of the most precious things I share with others.
So, while people might see the classes, the online programs, or the community, what I’m most proud of is invisible: the discipline of practice, the choice to pause, and the atmosphere of safety and kindness that allow others to experience the same relief and transformation. For me, that’s the real success — helping people feel at home in their own body and mind.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Florencia Faiatt and I’m both a psychologist and a yoga teacher. I founded MyYogaFlower as a way of bringing together science, movement and mindfulness in a language that feels simple and welcoming. Over the years I’ve developed programs on posture, shoulder health, meditation for beginners, and small everyday tools for wellbeing — all designed to help people move with less pain, breathe more freely and feel calmer in their day-to-day life.
What makes my work unique is that it’s grounded in both psychology and neuroscience but taught in a very human, gentle way. I know from my own journey how powerful it is to learn small, practical practices that change how you feel from the inside out. That’s the heart of MyYogaFlower: helping people cultivate self-awareness, self-care and resilience through movement, breath and mindset.
Right now I’m expanding my online courses and creating new resources so that anyone, anywhere, can access this blend of knowledge and practice. My hope is that each class or program feels like a safe, inspiring space where people can reconnect with themselves.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
Becoming a mother was the first big turning point. It made everything I had studied about development, stress and emotions suddenly very real and personal. I wanted to model presence, calm and self-care for my child, not just talk about them. That experience deepened my compassion and showed me how powerful it is to learn — and teach — simple ways of regulating the nervous system from an early age.
Another defining thread has been my studies. Psychology, neuroscience, yoga and also sexology gave me a much broader view of the human experience. Working with pain — physical and emotional — taught me that people can learn to live with much less suffering, and that small, consistent practices often make the biggest difference.
These disciplines gave me the language and tools to understand what happens inside us under stress and how simple, consistent practices can reshape our nervous system. That realisation — that we’re not stuck, that we can build small habits that change the way we feel and relate to life — completely shifted how I see people’s potential.
All of this has transformed my own life too. Today my relationships are healthy and nourishing, I understand my own limits and needs better, and I’m able to pass on that balance to my students. These experiences together shaped my view of the world: that wellbeing isn’t about perfection or big gestures, but about small, conscious choices, repeated with kindness, that ripple out into our bodies, our emotions and our connections with others. That’s the spirit behind my work today — creating safe, practical, science-based spaces where people can access the same relief and sense of possibility.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
There wasn’t one single dramatic day — it was a gradual awakening. For a long time I thought that to be strong I had to keep my pain private, push through, stay ‘productive.’ Motherhood, my own experiences with physical and emotional pain, and my studies in psychology, yoga and sexology slowly taught me otherwise.
I began to see that pain isn’t a weakness to be hidden; it’s information. It tells us where we’re out of alignment, what needs care, and what boundaries we’re crossing. When I learned to pause, breathe and look at my own discomfort with curiosity instead of shame, it became a source of empathy and clarity.
That shift allowed me not only to heal but to create. Today the very things I once tried to hide fuel my work — designing programs that help others relieve pain, understand their nervous system, and build tiny daily practices that give them back a sense of safety and power. Turning pain into power, for me, meant choosing honesty, self-compassion and consistent action, and that’s what I try to pass on to everyone who practices with me.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes. What you see publicly is truly who I am — as natural and spontaneous as I can be. I didn’t arrive here overnight; it’s the result of years of inner work, study and small daily choices. Today I feel at ease showing my humanity, my vulnerability and my sensitivity, because I know that’s what makes connection possible.
People often tell me they identify with me because I’m not trying to project a perfect image. I share what I teach from a place of lived experience — the struggles, the lessons and the simple practices that have helped me — not from a desire for recognition but from a genuine wish to contribute.
That authenticity is at the heart of my work. The classes, programs and posts are just expressions of a deeper commitment: to live what I teach, to keep learning, and to create spaces where others feel safe enough to be real too. For me, success isn’t about being admired, it’s about sparking a moment of relief, self-compassion or possibility in someone else’s day. That’s the version of me you see publicly, and it’s also the truest version of myself.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace in the quiet, simple moments — when I’m fully present in my body and breath. Sometimes that’s on my mat, moving slowly or sitting in meditation before dawn. Other times it’s when I’m with my child, walking in nature, or sharing a genuine conversation with someone I love.
Years of studying psychology, neuroscience, yoga and sexology taught me that peace isn’t something that just happens; it’s something we can cultivate through small, consistent practices. Each time I pause to breathe, stretch, or soften my nervous system I’m reminding myself that safety and calm can be rebuilt, even on a stressful day.
Paradoxically, I also feel at peace when I’m teaching. Guiding others through movement and breath creates a sense of shared presence that’s deeply grounding. Seeing someone’s face soften, or their shoulders drop a little, is a quiet moment of grace.
All these experiences have shaped my understanding of peace: it’s not a perfect environment but a state we can return to, again and again, through awareness, kindness and simple rituals. That’s what I try to embody in my own life and to pass on through MyYogaFlower — that peace is always available, in the middle of ordinary life, one conscious breath at a time.
