Ashtanga Yoga Venezia ASD

Non c’è pratica reale se non c’è una trasformazione della nostra coscienza.
Se non portiamo fuori nel mondo qualcosa di buono, se non usciamo dal pantano angusto della nostra esistenza e dei nostri comportamenti automatici, dei nostri pregiudizi cognitivi allora stiamo solo facendo delle posizioni.

Non c’è presenza e non c’è yoga.

Quello che siamo si vede sopra e fuori dal tappetino. Si vede nell’attitudine, nella generosità e nell’umiltà e curiosità con cui si affronta la pratica e in ultima analisi il mondo.

Come l’amore per le altre specie animali.
We are all the same kin!

Shortly after my high school exams, my philosophy teacher died suddenly during his holiday in Greece.

Back then, I immediately believed that this was his greatest and final lesson: the fragility of existence.

Eventually, I have come to consider even more precious what he wrote to us students before the exams: “My wish is that critical and phenomenological reflection on the structures of existence starting from your specific experiences opens you up and maintains you in broad-ranging awareness.”

To be open, in the mind and in the body, is the hardest thing. It requires us to listen to ourselves and others, to be patient and be courageous.
But it’s the only way we have to remain free.

In practice, as in life, it’s important to develop the ability to laugh at ourselves and embrace our limits!
Especially, if you are Tuscan. 🫣😉😜

The ability to hold opposites, to stay with them
and remain equanimous
is at the heart of embodying the psychophysical practice of Ashtanga Yoga.

✨🪷Gītā Jayanti 🪷✨

Every year, on the Ekadaśi of the bright half of the month of Margaśirśa (usually in December, this year falls today), Hindus celebrate Gītā Jayanti — the day when Lord Kriśņa revealed his teachings to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukśetra.

The Bhagavad Gītā — literally “The Song of the Splendid Lord”— is one of the most important texts in the Indian tradition.
It’s part of the Mahabharata, yet it stands on its own as a profound dialogue about life, action, and consciousness.
Through its 18 adhyāya (chapters), the Gitā unfolds the paths of Karma Yoga (the yoga of action), Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion), and Jñana Yoga (the yoga of knowledge). Together, they point toward one central truth: that our dharma — our purpose — is to act consciously, without attachment to results, and to remember the divine essence within all beings.

As practitioners, the battlefield is not (always😅) out there — it’s within us.
Every moment of doubt, every choice, every breath can become part of our sādhanā.

✨ On this Gītā Jayanti, may we all find the courage to act with clarity, devotion, and steadiness.
