Program
Practices to circulate energy and connect with the being
- Noble Silence to reconnect with yourself and your environment
- Breathing through different pranayamas
- Silent meditations, dynamics and meditative walks
- Guided relaxations or yoga nidra
- Bhakti yoga (sacred chanting of mantras)
Deepen your experience by minimizing external distractions
Noble Silence is a period during which one commits to keeping complete silence. This practice is not limited to abstaining from speech, but also includes reducing nonverbal communication and social interactions. The goal is to promote total immersion in your personal practice of yoga and meditation.
Dive into meditation.
Each of these practices, from yoga to chanting mantras, acts as a springboard allowing you to reach a meditative state. They lead you to the recognition and revelation of the Self, inviting you to fully enter non-duality.
Relax in the vibrations of gongs
Fabio will take you into a gong bath. A listening and relaxation experience in which participants are taken on a journey of self-discovery through the sound of gongs, angelic harps and other ancestral instruments. The vibrations allow you to reach a deep meditative state, outside of time, in which all cells are gently massaged by the sound while the mind is free to give new light to memories and emotions. A unique experience involving body and mind.
Connect with sacred chants and mantras
The intention is to create a space conducive to the exploration of sound and inner silence, two intimately connected dimensions. The voice, as a powerful tool, allows you to recenter, balance the vital energy (prana) in the body, and manifest your inner quiet strength and creativity.
All these practices will bring you deep relaxation and letting go. It is also the opening of doors to transcend your own limitations and get in touch with your expansive being. Whether through the practice of asanas, meditation, chanting mantras or sound baths, each experience offers an opportunity for relaxation and connection to your inner essence.
