Additional meditation sessions are flexible, guided practices that complement regular yoga and mindfulness programs. These sessions focus on breath awareness, body relaxation, and calming the nervous system.
What is Yoga Meditation?
- Yoga Meditation is the term used by the AHYMSIN Network of centers created by our teacher, Swami Veda Bharati. AHYMSIN stands for Association of Himalaya Yoga Meditation Societies International. In our community, yoga has the core objective to unite the individuated with the transcendent consciousness.
- We use the body to gain increased awareness of who we are. Asanas or postures are not the goal, they are the means. The body is a tool, a vehicle, to learn about ourselves through movement, breath, relaxation and other meditative practices.
- Vyasa in his authoritarian commentary of the yoga sutra defines yoga as samadhi. Samadhi a deep state of meditation.

TESTIMONIALS
What students say
Maria's yoga and meditation classes are an excellent mix of meditation, pranayama and vinyasa flow that give you inner energy and peacefulness. She's a very good teacher, kind and attentive as well as very professional. I absolutely recommend her!
— Chiara
Maria is a great teacher, with much patience and encouragement. What makes her classes special is that they go at a measured pace but still push you to explore your limits and to expand those limits, while also taking the time to teach the underlying philosophy behind yoga, its history and evolution over time. I strongly recommend her classes!
