For Romana Menegoni, yoga is not just a practice—it’s a life philosophy, a way of reclaiming balance in a world that often asks us to give more than we have. From her early days participating in the Miss California USA Pageant while working with autistic children and yoga foundations in Long Beach, to now shaping healing spaces through movement and music, Romana’s journey has always been rooted in something deeper than ambition—it’s been about purpose.
From Pageants to Purpose: The Journey Begins
Eight years ago, Romana stepped into the world of yoga, not as a career move, but as a calling born from her own quest for healing. Raised amidst the shadows of a war-torn country, she understands firsthand the weight of adversity—the kind that tests your spirit but also forges your strength.
“I don’t give up,” she says, “even when it feels like the darkness is closing in. I keep my chin up to the blue skies and the sunshine.” This mindset has become her trademark, infusing every class she leads, every project she takes on.
Yoga as the Missing Link Between Work and Well-Being
In a society where productivity often overshadows presence, Romana sees yoga as the bridge between strength and recovery—a space where the body moves but the soul rests.
“We pour so much of our hearts into our work,” she reflects, “that we forget to slow down, to connect, to play.” Her mission is to offer people a chance to press pause, to step away from the hustle and into a sanctuary where movement meets music, where community thrives, and where healing begins.
Romana’s approach goes beyond traditional yoga. It’s an experience—an invitation to feel, to breathe, and to remember that joy and connection are essential forms of strength.
Choosing Projects from the Heart
Romana doesn’t chase projects; she listens for them. Guided by intuition and the desire to contribute meaningfully, she chooses collaborations and initiatives that align with her core belief: that the work we do today shapes the world we hand over to future generations.
“I believe my future family deserves the best,” she shares, “and so do all the children in our communities. That’s what motivates me—to create spaces of love, care, and healing that ripple outward.”
Redefining Success on Her Own Terms
For Romana, success isn’t counted in titles or accolades—it’s measured in freedom and presence. Success is more time with family. More moments spent outdoors, under the sun. More opportunities to create art, to practice yoga, to make memories that last.
“Success,” she says, “is the freedom to be yourself and the chance to spread love.”
Proud Moments and Future Visions
Among the milestones close to her heart is being invited to New York Fashion Week and featured in New York fashion magazines—a recognition not just of her style, but of her spirit. But for Romana, every smile in her class, every student who finds a moment of peace through her guidance, is a quiet milestone of its own.
Looking ahead, she dreams of launching her own yoga clothing line—designed for comfort, movement, and self-expression. More than just apparel, it’s an extension of her teaching philosophy: clothing that supports the journey toward healing and joy.

Romana Menegoni’s story is a testament to resilience, intuition, and service. In a fast-paced world that often forgets the importance of stillness, she reminds us that strength doesn’t always look like pushing harder. Sometimes, it looks like pausing. Breathing. Moving with intention. And always, choosing love.
