Your life is the harmony where yin and yang blend "Chuang-Tzu

YIN YANG YOGA
Starting from the participatory root based on the reciprocity and interdependence of the Yin and Yang forces within our physical, emotional and mental universe, drawing inspiration from the origin of their Taoist principle, from the observation of nature and from Traditional Chinese Medicine, we will go to work on the energetic polarities (yin-yang) by exploring through the practice of yoga the qualities deriving from this inter-relationship in the body-mind dynamics. The Yin is the deepest part that requires a slower observation, to allow our body an adaptation of the connective tissue and myofascial system, in the process of inhabiting the asanas. In the yang practice we go instead to explore the dynamics and the relationship with energy and strength to create a physical and mental propensity during the traditional Hatha Yoga positions, through a fluid and conscious exploration. Aware that strength without relaxation cannot exist in nature alone like day without night, we will work by listening to these two essential qualities for our physical, emotional and mental balance.
The work will integrate the practice of Shiatsu self-treatment and the practice of contemporary (somatic) dance, as a tool for body awareness, aimed at the discovery and exploration of one's potential, the reorganization of movement, energetic harmonization and expression of personal creativity. We will open ourselves to a search for inner space through patient, refined and conscious listening, crossing the flow of life, of which the body, as a microcosm and mirror of nature and through personal experience, is the guardian.

Shiatsu, is an energetic practice with body mediation, which has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, stimulates the self-healing potential of the triad of body, mind and spirit. The Shiatsu touch acts in depth and allows you to get in touch with your inner resources. Shiatsu allows the flow of the movement of life and acts as a prevention, helps to maintain the state of health and can be an effective support for the psychophysical rebalancing of the person.
