In the
contemporary Western world, the term “Yoga” refers to a varied set of
activities that include body and breathing gymnastics. These psychophysical disciplines,
aimed at meditation or relaxation, include the practice of certain postures or
figures, properly called asanas.
Yoga doesn’t just want to teach us how to reach and maintain more or less
challenging positions but rather wants to educate our attention in presence,
not to follow the distractions of the mind and to open ourselves to the inner
and surrounding world.
Our property collaborates with Andrea, a Yoga master in the area. Upon request,
it is possible to book a private lesson of about an hour and a half at our facility.
The cost is € 90.00 and up to 15 people can participate (in this case the cost
would be only € 5.00 each).
Anyone can participate, Andrea will modulate the lesson based on the level and
age of the participants.
Walking
excursion + Yoga lesson
Since Andrea is also a professional environmental guide at the same time, he
proposes an easy two hours excursion at the end of which there is a one and a
half hour yoga lesson in the countryside.
It is also possible, for those who wish, to practice Yoga before the excursion
to get in touch with their body. Walking consciously, with active presence, is the
best way to experience an excursion. During the journey, through simple
visualizations and meditations, Andrea will try to bring you into deep contact with
nature.
