Our group classes
Anukalana Yoga (Yoga and Breathing)
A yoga practice aimed to the development of a correct breathing activity, thanks to the combination of numerous techniques of the millenary yogic tradition such as kriya, pranayama, asana, bija mantra. We will go on a journey of discovery of the respiratory system, conscious breathing and the state of presence in everyday life. Thanks to the correct breathing practice, we will learn to know and stimulate the vagus nerve to ensure a good state of psychophysical health. We will learn the concept of the spinal wave, how to move harmoniously in the surrounding space, cellular breathing. We will develop vinyasa (asana sequences) which will be perform at the rhythm of breathing. Anukalana Yoga is suitable, indeed recommended, for everyone, whatever their flexibility, sporting level or age.
CLASSES FOR BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATES.
Introduction to meditation
Meditation means learning to exist in the present moment, in the here and now, without anxieties, worries and superfluous thoughts. Meditation helps to leave the slavery of the mind, disciplining it, and to detach from the autopilot that guides our lives. To meditate is to contemplate what surrounds us, becoming aware of the sensations that run through our body and mind in the present without letting them overwhelm us.
Through patient self-observation, the meditative practice activates a profound process of inner transformation, towards acceptance, understanding, compassion and self-love.
During this course you will learn simple techniques to prepare your body and mind for a gradual meditative practice:
- preliminary breathing to relax the body;
- specific kriyas to loosen and warm the body;
- the concepts of Drishti and Dharana, to develop concentration and create intention;
- energy techniques to dissolve emotional and physical stasis, circular or stagnant thoughts;
- integrate healthier practices in the daily life.

Hormonal Yoga
Hormonal Yoga was created to help women and their delicate state of health. Its creator is Dinah Rodrigues, a yoga teacher and psychologist who, inspired by specific Hatha and Tantra yoga techniques, has created a unique therapeutic sequence dedicated to rebalancing women’s hormonal and neurological systems. Thanks to the constant practice of Hormonal Yoga sequence, many women have found relief, and in some cases, resolution, to various symptoms related to menopause, menstrual cycle, fibroids, polyps, osteoporosis, endometriosis.
The asana sequence created by Dinah Rodrigues is dynamic, with a focus on female physiology; it supports the function of the hormone-producing glands. The sequence stimulates the ovaries, hormone production, adrenal glands, pituitary and thyroid glands with an internal massage. A balanced and strong hormonal system has a beneficial impact on both the physical, mental and emotional health of the body and the general level of vitality.
During the classes, we will learn the sequence step by step, initially exploring the ujjai and pranayama breathing techniques, and then the individual asanas, until we are able to practice the sequence with ease.

Benefits of yoga practice
THE PRACTICE LEADS THE STUDENT TO FEEL REFRESHED, INVIGORATED, VITAL, SERENE, TO LEARN TO KNOW HIS OWN BODY, THE SPACE IN WHICH IT MOVES, TO REMAIN IN THE “HERE AND NOW”.
The body’s resistances are read as starting points. The practice is shaped according to the needs of the individual student, respecting the uniqueness of the physical structure, state of health, age and level.
During the lesson, it is explained how to protect the joints and the spine during the practice; one learns to flow through the asanas dissolving physical and energetic blocks, favoring the flow of body fluids and energy restoring balance.
With regular practice and patience, students learn to move through the world with balance and harmony in all daily activities.
The increase in flexibility of the body goes hand in hand with that of the mind: just as the body learns to flow from one position to another, so the individual who practices consistently learns to flow in life, dissolving emotional, behavioral and mental rigidity.
Do you prefer to practice individually?
The times and days of individual yoga classes are agreed on a case-by-case basis according to your needs. The classes are held at the Yoga Studio, at your home* or online.
