Description:	We are an Italian yoga studio devoted to the study and practice of traditional and tantric Yoga, Tai chi, Qi Gong and Meditation. The Yoga style is a slow Vinyasa merging breath and Asanas, but rooted on traditional Hatha Yoga and Tibetan Yoga (the practice includes the Five Tibetan Rites) and based on the major Hatha Yoga classical texts (Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita). Yang style Tai Chi Chuan, classical Qi Gong and Meditation complete the major practices taught. The Yoga style taught fuses Asana, Pranayama and Meditation. It is considered quintessential to focus on three major points in the practice: in order of importance they are Bhava, inner mental disposition, Vinyasa, maintaining slow and deep breath to connect the Asanas, and proper alignment of the spine, in order to create space in the body to let the Prana flow through the major Nadis.
	All of our classes improve both muscular strength, posture, flexibility as well as relaxation, concentration, balance, immunity. For private instruction or classes in downtown Bologna (near the station) call centro Namaskar asd at 335-7738586 or email.

In 2002 I moved to Italy, where I have continued my professional training by taking part in numerous teacher-training seminars and workshops.
