Fémia Scarfone, founder of La Luna Yoga, is a 200-Hour Certified Yoga Instructor, with specializations in Restorative and Prenatal Yoga.
She is a Sound Healer, Reiki Master, and College Professor.
After completing her B.A. in Fine Arts from UC Berkeley, Fémia pursued an M.S. in Teaching ESL and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from CSU, Fullerton. Despite her accomplishments in academia, she recognized a soul calling toward wellness, healing, and spiritual connection. She embarked on a spiritual pilgrimage to India, the birthplace of Yoga, where she hiked through the Himalayas and practiced yoga and meditation daily. Immersing herself in the ancient wisdom of the Yogic-Vedantic traditions, she deepened her understanding of these timeless practices. Following her inner guidance, she earned her yoga teacher training, became a certified sound bath practitioner, and achieved her Reiki Master certification.
This wellness journey revealed the alignment she'd been seeking: a way to blend her natural gifts as an educator with her passion for healing, intuition, and guiding others toward wholeness.
While her career has been rooted in education, her heart has always been guided by the tenets of yoga. Long before she stepped onto the mat professionally, she was drawn to yoga's foundational principles—living with compassion and non-harm (ahimsa), speaking and acting with authenticity (satya), practicing contentment in each moment (santosha), and cultivating self-awareness through reflection (svadhyaya). These weren't just philosophical concepts to her; they became the lens through which she approached her life, her relationships, and her work with students. Teaching in the classroom and teaching yoga aren't separate paths; they're expressions of the same commitment to growth, presence, and honoring the inherent worth in every person. Yoga's wisdom has shaped not just her practice, but her entire approach to living with intention, integrity, and an open heart.
Fémia guides transformative healing experiences through both yoga instruction and immersive sound bath sessions. Her sound baths utilize crystal alchemy singing bowls to tune the brain into alpha and theta brainwave states—the frequencies associated with deep relaxation, meditation, and healing. In these expanded states of consciousness, participants naturally release stress and tension, quiet mental chatter, and activate the body's innate capacity for healing and regeneration. Combined with her yoga teaching, which integrates mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation, Fémia offers a complete pathway to holistic wellness.
Whether through the gentle flow of a restorative yoga class or the enveloping vibrations of a sound bath, her work creates sacred space for students and clients to reconnect with themselves, restore balance, and cultivate lasting inner peace.
