I have a non-sectarian attitude, and I work with circumstances, so depending on the needs of each student, I integrate different styles of yoga, as well as some elements of Tai Chi (for mobility, warm-up, joint preparation, and lymphatic cleansing), physiotherapy, muscle release (myofascia) through the use of specific objects (usually rollers and balls), massage, alignment manipulations, and anything else that can help achieve the goal.<\/p>\r\n

Conditions of participation<\/h3>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Classes are free-will, but an “exchange” is possible, with a suggested minimum and the possibility of bartering (work or goods), to allow anyone to participate. The donation will therefore be at the student’s discretion and must be compatible with both the student’s financial means and the teacher’s ability to offer the classes.<\/p>\r\n

Philosophy and point of view<\/h3>\r\n

Yoga is a complex discipline which, in addition to physical work, includes attitude and ethic behavior. Awareness, punctuality, respect for the discipline, the place, the companions of practice and the teacher are basic.<\/p>\r\n

Yoga4freedOM means  freeing oneself from limitations, bad habits, pain, illnesses, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual toxins, cumbersome concepts and conditioning\u2014in short, freeing oneself from the burden of the ego, which is an illusory fixation. Liberation means taking responsibility, seeking, discovering, remember, encountering and  re-unite to the true Self.<\/p>\r\n

Practicing yoga is not an exotic or extra-ordinary experience, nor a sporting competition with oneself or others to perform acrobatics or transform or beautify one’s body, but a journey along a complex path of discovery, based on a discipline that is a lifestyle, learned gradually and developed with perseverance.<\/p>\r\n

Although I have personally studied extensively and acquired professional skills in teaching yoga, Yoga4freedOM is not a “service,” it is not “yoga merchandise” for sale, nor the offer of a paid “personal coach.” It is about sharing, about sincere, honest, and conscious reciprocity, according to the circumstances\u2014both mine and the student’s.<\/p>\r\n

Yoga4freedOM is an attempt to promote sharing outside of market logic and the common logic of profit and delegation, to promote a style of relationship that is opposed to the profit-driven and competitive mindset currently in vogue. By relationships, I mean relationships with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.<\/p>\r\n

Yoga4freedOM is my way of spreading the art of self-management of one’s life in freedom, and therefore also of one’s physical, emotional, and mental health, based on altruism, dedication, solidarity, and mutual care.
All this isn’t theory, it’s concrete. If you can’t understand it, this style isn’t for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

About the instructor, formation and formal studies<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I am a regular practitioner of Hatha yoga, meditation, and other internal yogas since 1988, as well as a certified multi-certified instructor of Hatha Yoga. My teaching experience started from 2014. Yoga has proven helpful in curing some serious illnesses that have affected me, then I firmly believe that sharing my experience can inspire and benefit others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I practice and wish to disseminate practices based on creating independence, health and well-being, rather than fighting disease and pain by delegating responsibility for my condition to third parties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Birth of a passion: when I was a child, at school, in the hour of gymnastics, the teacher occasionally made us do a very simple yoga. I was fascinated by it and so yoga became one of my favorite games. I attended my first formal yoga classes since 1988, when yoga was not very popular. I learned in many schools in Italy, Thailand and India (places where I traveled for years), experimenting with different styles, but the bulk of the practice I developed by myself, practicing daily and having myself periodically supervised and corrected by experienced practitioners.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Since 1988 I have studied and practiced meditation in the context of the Vajrayana, Buddhist Tantra, Dzog Chen and Bonpo Tibetan and Theravada traditions, participating in numerous intensive practice retreats, both group and individual, under the guidance of Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche and other renowned masters . Since 1991 I have also practiced the Yantra Yoga of Vairochana, coming from the living and uninterrupted lineage of Tibetan yoga, a style dating back to the eighth century that includes the main asanas also used in classic hatha yoga, but systematized to train the breath: it is one advanced yoga style, in motion, focused on energy and connected with the tradition of Dzog Chen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Over the years I have developed a non-sectarian practice by choosing not to limit myself to a specific school and working with the circumstances that life has proposed to me. My Yoga practice has therefore adapted to my needs and the real circumstances of my life, becoming a teacher was a further natural development of this path which is still evolving today. Hence the particular attention I give to teaching in open, pragmatic and elastic different ways of practicing based on factors such as age, physical-emotional conditions, mentality, needs, desires, predispositions, climatic conditions and other contingencies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I am currently continuing my studies and practices on the physiological and therapeutic aspects of Yoga, pranayama, and meditation, but also on natural nutrition, holistic medicine, and respect for the ecological environment, well aware that we are neither owners nor guests, but an integral and interacting part.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Formal studies<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My most signifying Hatha Yoga teachers are Acharya Doctor Ashutosh Agarwal (InteYoga, Mysore) and Acharya Venkatesha (Atma Vikasha, Mysore), but I learn also from other yogis. My most signifying teacher of meditation was Choegyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
