A Jivamukti Certified Yoga Teacher Alessia's classes offer a dynamic style of yoga focusing on alignment, flowing sequences and developing inner power and core strength in body mind and spirit.
Yoga tells us that our whole bodies are made up of our past karmas (actions). These actions arise out of the way we connect with ourselves and others.
Every action, word, thought or deed we have ever 'put out there', whether about ourselves or others, has created and keeps creating the reality we are experiencing today, including our physical bodies, and any stiffness, ease or dis-ease within it.
We will use intention, asana, pranayama, meditation, chanting and energy healing such as reiki, and IQM (Integrative Quantum Medicine see www.taoenergy.com for more info) to shift physical and emotional negative karmic patterns from mind body and spirit so as to let go of past and present disconnection and make way for a clear, open and more connected way ahead.
'Tivra samveganam asannah' 'To the keen and intent practicioner results come fast' (Patanjali Yoga Stura Ch.1, 21)
Expect a challenging asana practice, chanting, music, meditation, an insight into Sanskrit names and scriptures and a yoga practice aimed at developing a compassionate attitude towards all beings including ourselves and our planet .
'All of life is interconnected. What we do to others affects us all. When we begin to see this, we can free ourselves from the false idea that the earth belongs to us, and instead use our lives to benefit others. In turn we will become happy as we discover that the best way to uplift our own lives is to do all we can to uplift the lives of others'.**(Adapted by Sharon Gannon, from 'Yoga and Vegetarianism', by Sharon Gannon, November 2008)
With a modern dance background Alessia began practising yoga in New York in 2000, and has been teaching in London since 2004..
Among her many teachers, Sharon Gannon, David Life, Yogeswari, Power Yogi Baron Baptiste and energy healer Louise Mita (www.taoenergy.com) have been a great inspiration for many years, even before having the honour of meeting and working with them in person.
