Yoga

Aerial Flow
The apprentice flows from a position to another suspended with an elastic texture, exploring equilibrium and alignment. Gravity enhances a better realignment and relaxes the entire body thanks to a minor articulation stress. Yoga is experienced though a free mind and a light body, playing with inversions. The lesson will seem a Vinyasa class but enriched by the use of elastic textures.
Anusara Elements
Anusara Elements is a dynamic practice based on Anusara’s features. The word “Anusara” stands for “flowing with grace”. This Yoga practice has a modern Hatha style focusing on tantric philosophy and on a deep knowledge of body alignment. The intent is that of respecting the abilities and limits of each apprentice, enhancing his/her expression of internal resources in his/her everyday lifestyle. Class starts with a Mantra chant invocation and with a philosophical/spiritual topic, which will represent the overarching theme of the whole practice.
Ashtanga
A challenging discipline but easily adaptable to anyone willing to start with an intense practice, fully balanced between strength and flexibility. It foresees specific positions’ sequences called out in Sanskrit by the trainer and dynamically performed. During the Asana practice the attention is focused on your breathing rhythm and gaze direction.
Ashtanga Mysore Style
The Ashtanga Yoga practice takes its name from the Indian city where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois has enhanced his teachings for years: Mysore. The apprentice must know by heart the Asana sequence as the class will not be guided by the teacher but rather individually and silently conducted. The teacher follows the apprentice through different positions and assigning new ones according to his/her personal achievements.

Meditation
Meditation is a discovering journey. In Tibet meditation enables to discover oneself, despoiling our soul from what obstructs a clear view and letting our soul be. This practice leads us to find our true essence but also the limits of current thinking (conceptual), entering in close contact with ourselves and with that silent, but aware, space within our deepest thoughts. The course is designed to create Satsang (sharing of living being), a chance to explore through silence the sense of meditation and of spiritual research.
Metodo DeRose
Mindful
A fluid and introspective Yoga style, where deep listening of what goes on around us becomes a priority, as much as in Asana, than in breathing moments.
