Workshops in Caprese Michelangelo (AR) — May 30 to June 8, 2025

The sādhanā of haṭha yoga is a practice designed to expand and modify the flow of subtle energy, bringing renewed vitality to areas of the body and mind that may be malnourished. This research involves many elements, each demanding dedication, perseverance and zeal. To deepen this path, two distinct yet complementary workshops will be offered.

Seminar A: May 30 – June 3, 2025
The Yoga of Action (Kriyā Yoga)

The aim of āsana is to reshape the mind, establishing, or reestablishing an elevated connection between body and mind. The means offered to us is primarily āsana, with the aim of achieving stillness in order to discover the energy of stability, a quality that is often unknown. As any performance, it’s common to approach postures as something to be achieved forcefully. The emphasis of this workshop is to overturn the mental attitude in approaching āsana but also prāṇāyāma. Āsana becomes our support, an instrument, not an end in itself.

YS II.47: Prayatna śaithilya ānanta samāpatti-bhyām
[ Āsana should be attained] through relaxation of effort and meditation on the infinite.

Seminar B: June 4 – June 8, 2025
Balancing Opposites to Bring Stability to the Mind

Prāṇāyāma is the medium which enables a simultaneous cultivation of both the energy of stability, exercised in āsana, as well as rhythm, exercised in prāṇāyāma. Suspension, characteristic of the universe, is based precisely on the union of these two principles, which the yogin and yoginī seek to realize as a function of the awakening of a third dimension, the middle path. From stability, we learn to release unnecessary efforts and give life to a clear and equanimous inner vision.

Each day weaves together theory and experiential practice of haṭha yoga: yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, prāṇa-vidyā, yoga nidrā, antar mouna, as well as time for walking and resting both in and outdoors.
