Yoga Sutra Seminar – First Aṅga: Yama
Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras constitute a millenary manual for understanding the essence and practice of yoga. Divided into four chapters (pāda), they offer a path in eight ‘branches’, ‘steps’ (aṅga) to be followed to achieve physical, mental and spiritual balance.
The First Aṅga: Yama The term Yama denotes the ‘abstentions’ or universal ethical principles that govern our relationship with the outside world. In the first aṅga we find five fundamental Yamas:
1 – Ahimsā (do no harm)
Respect and care for all living beings and ourselves*, in thought and word
2 – Satya (truth)
Sincerity and integrity, avoiding deception and half-truths
3 – Asteya (not stealing)
Honesty in not taking or appropriating what does not belong to us
4 – Brahmacarya (moderation)
Conscious management of energies and moderation in sensory pleasures
5 – Aparigraha (non-accumulation: freedom from dependence on possessions, freedom from greed)
Detachment from material possessions and possessive emotions
Seminar Objectives
● To delve into the historical and philosophical significance of each Yama
● To recognise how the Yamas manifest in daily life and in the practice of Yoga
● To share experiences and doubts in a dialogic circle, fostering collective learning

Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style – inspired by the Taoist thought of yin and yang – that works on Qi (vital energy) and its energy channels, called meridians
– Deep practice – the postures are held for a long time in optimal tension to stimulate the connective tissue and calm the mind
– Conscious breathing – slow, relaxed breathing helps to ground the body and promote the release of tension
During this special session, traditional Yin Yoga is combined with a vibrational sound massage
– Harmonic bells
– Planetary gongs
These instruments generate sound waves that
– Deeply relax the muscles
– Eliminate accumulations of tension
– Restore the free flow of Qi
The combined benefits of Yin Yoga + Sound
– Increased body awareness – sound amplifies internal perception during asanas
– Dissolving energy blockages – vibrations help dissolve knots and stagnations
– Activation of self-healing capacity – mind, body and spirit are harmonised, promoting overall well-being
– Relaxation and regeneration – a profound experience that regenerates on all levels
Come and experience the synergy of posture, breath and sound – treat yourself to an inner journey of release, balance and rebirth!
Duration: 90-120 minutes – Contribution: € 25

Innerdance Session
with Jenifer Pipolo
Spiritual coach
Relax, close your eyes and be transported by the revelatory spectacle of your consciousness in dance!
Innerdance is a healing practice rooted in the Filipino shamanic tradition and creates an open space where the spirit celebrates the existence that dwells within you. It is an immersive multi-sensory experience, an active meditation and a sound journey that stimulates specific brain frequencies and amplifies bodily perceptions, leading you to a state of expanded consciousness and unprecedented pleasure.
Choreography of the soul
Innerdance is not a traditional dance, but an inner exploration. It acts on the primary life force (kundalini), which often remains unexpressed, helping it to flow freely to awaken mind, body and soul. In this ‘holistic’ state you can see with your whole body, simultaneously receiving multiple pieces of information about the reality you experience, while your soul travels unconstrained by time and space.
During the practice you are present and receptive on many levels: old thought patterns, emotional blocks and traumas dissolve – gradually or in an instant – while a healthy, healing vitality pervades you. This domino effect invests every area of your life: from sexuality to relationships, from work to creativity, to your spiritual path, helping you to tune in to your true essence and bring about the profound changes you desire.
The benefits of group practice
● Open to all, easy to follow and rejuvenating not only for the spirit
● Activates energy points in the body and aligns the circadian rhythms of deep sleep
● Promotes central nervous system plasticity
● Promotes physical, emotional and mental well-being
Experience Innerdance: a journey of self-discovery made of sounds, movements and deep connections.
We are waiting for you!

Introduction to the Yoga Sutras
Lecture on philosophy and practice
with Monica Gala teacher of Sivananda Yoga (training 200 hours), Anusara elements (training 200 hours), Hatha e Flow (training 200 hours), Yin Yoga (training 100 hours), Shiatsu operator I.R.T.E. method (training 3 years)
Some 2300 years ago, the Indian philosopher Patanjali was the first to codify the knowledge of a tradition that until then had only been transmitted orally. Behind the 4 chapters that the text presents, lies an incredible knowledge that comes from distant times. Truly, the Yogic model that Patanjali exposes to us is far removed from contemporary Yoga with its multitude of styles, names and methods. Patanjali explains to us the nature of our mind.
The mind (Citta), always overwhelmed by its activities (Vritti), finds it difficult to remain centred and focused.
If we pause to observe our thoughts, it is easy to realise that most of the time they are senseless, rambling, without a logical thread and often negative in nature. We identify with our thoughts, when our true nature transcends our thoughts. We are always searching for our essence but for some reason it constantly eludes us.
The practice helps a mind that is restless and always looking for new stimuli to feel content and fulfilled, thus reducing its activities.
The Yoga Sutras present tools to purify the mind, body and spirit.
Are you curious* to know more? Do you believe that the practice of Yoga goes beyond simple mechanical movements coordinated with the breath or beyond long held postures?
Would you like to begin a journey into the world of the roots of Yoga?
If the answer is yes, then this practical and theoretical meeting on Sunday 23 February could be useful for you.
Duration: 2 ½ hours- Fee: 25 € for Yoga in Centro subscribers and 30 € for non-subscribers
