"The language of modern society is science. yoga knows perfectly how to speak IT".— Sat Bir S. Khalsa
In recent years, very important changes are being experienced in the adaptation of classical Yoga to the needs of modern society.
The scientific approach, the union of knowledge about the human body, the point of view of Western medicine, Eastern practices and the interest of scientists in the healing and transformative powers of meditation make Yoga closer and closer to people of different cultures and worldviews.
After 11 years of practice and 6 of teaching both Hatha and Yin Yoga, I decided to start combining my interest in neuroscience with the development of my Yoga teaching activity.
I began to find answers to many questions about how physical-respiratory systems working together with meditation can increase cognitive functions of the brain, avoid hormonal imbalances and prevent numerous physical diseases or mental disorders.
Today many scientific teams and Universities around the world, such as those in Toronto, Stanford or Harvard, partner with Yoga teachers to research and share knowledge about meditation and the human brain. That makes the ancient techniques for clearing the mind and gaining more awareness begin to structure and function within the parameters of the language of today's society.
The main objective of my teaching is to continue investigating Yoga from a scientific point of view, adapting the practice to the priorities of each student; based on the physical anatomy together with the human nervous system.
I always bring importance to both active physical work and the vital need to stop and observe the body and mind.
I am convinced that the more aspects one knows about oneself, the more profound understanding of inner processes, the more health and more awareness one obtains.
