Ashtanga Yoga Workshop with Chiara Castellan
Experience the quiet and healing power of the ancient practice of Ashtanga Yoga.
In this workshop, we will learn the essentials to build up a strong and graceful practice with a calm and steady breath.
An important component of the breathing system is mula and uddiyana bandha. When mula bandha is perfect, mind control is automatic. The alignment is the result of the correct interplay between asana, breath and dristhi (focused gaze).
By using the correct alignment and techniques we will explore how to safely enter, hold and exit the poses. The concentration is directed inwards. Like this, we take away the stress and pain and find ease in the postures – sthira sukham asanam .
Once the foundation is established, we will experiment with some backbends and inversions of the Primary and Intermediate Series of Ashtanga Yoga.

When yoga practice is sustained with great diligence and dedication over a long period of time, the heat generated from it burns through bodily impurities, negative behavior patterns and painful emotions to reveal the true nature of your inner being.
We will connect with our hidden power center and find the source of energy that infuses our entire practice and life with spiritual light.
