Price: €170,-
Discover how the millennial-old yoga philosophy according to Patanjali gives us tools to live in harmony with ourselves, the world, and the people around us. In this two-day workshop we integrate the philosophical foundations of Ashtanga yoga to facilitate a path to deep physical, mental, and energetic balance.
Grounded in the 5 elements, Liliana will empower you to begin a path of yoga self-study by integrating breathwork, cleansings and philosophy into your asana practice by guiding you to connect with yourself in each moment and movement. By cultivating complete awareness and deepening our focus we can gradually access a state of peace and our sense of unity through our practice.
