Inside Flow Workshop Series
Join Ditya Sari for a 4-part workshop series on a journey to your most comfortable, silky smooth self!
What is Inside Flow?
Inside Flow represents a groundbreaking vinyasa flow choreography that synchronizes with the music's rhythm and is uniquely tailored to specific songs. The music establishes a connection with your emotional world, resulting in a harmonious fusion of flowing movements, personal expression, and genuine emotions through the magic of yoga. Rooted in the yogic philosophy of "spanda" – the natural pulsation of life – we embody this pulsation through our breath and movements. Come as you are, enjoy the music and let's enjoy the flow together!

Handpan & Yoga Dance Workshop
Join Halwa for a dance-infused yoga workshop, meditation and sound bath, all accompanied by the sounds of the handpan!
What to expect:
Hatha Yoga Infused with Dance Elements (1 hour):
In the first part of our workshop, we'll dive into the ancient practice of Hatha Yoga, enriched with elements of dance. Through a series of gentle yet invigorating asanas, pranayama, and fluid movements inspired by dance, we will reconnect with our bodies, cultivating strength, flexibility, and grace.
Meditation with Handpan Accompaniment (30 minutes):
As we transition into the second part of our session, we'll ease into a state of deep relaxation and inner stillness through meditation. The soothing melodies of the Handpan will serve as our guide, creating a harmonious atmosphere that facilitates mindfulness and inner peace. Allow yourself to be carried away by the enchanting sounds as you delve into the depths of your being.
Guided Relaxation and Sound Bath (30 minutes):
In the final segment of our workshop, we'll embark on a guided journey of relaxation and sound immersion. As you recline in a comfortable position, I'll lead you through a series of guided visualizations and relaxation techniques designed to release tension, promote healing, and restore balance to mind, body, and spirit. The ethereal vibrations of the Handpan will envelop you in a cocoon of sound, allowing you to surrender to a state of profound serenity and inner harmony.
About Halwa:
Marta D’Ippolito started dancing at the age of seven, and after years of sacrifices and dedication managed to graduate at the prestigious Akademie des Tanzes in Mannheim. After a few years of professional experience she decided to deepen her practice of Yoga, becoming an instructor at the beginning of 2024.
Federico Scano is a mechanical engineer who decided to dedicate his life to music and Handpan. He attended many workshops and retreats and he currently accompanies Marta’s Yoga sessions and teaches Handpan techniques.
Reiki Infused Crystal Alchemy Sound Bath
Join Sound Healer and Reiki Master Cecilia Cortes for a deeply relaxing sound healing experience!
Based on ancient healing techniques, vibrations of sound work on a cellular level to recalibrate the mind, body, and spirit. These healing frequencies stimulate alpha and theta brain wave frequencies, balance the hemispheres of the brain, and promote a sense of ease and inner peace. In addition to relief from chronic pain and migraines, benefits of a Sound Bath include improved sleep, reduction of stress and anxiety, as well as a renewed sense of well-being, calm, and happiness.
Cecilia uses Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls that are made from 99.99% pure crystal quartz and blended with precious metals, crystals and gemstones. These unique bowls offer more than just sound—they offer healing intentions at a frequency level for a blissful experience.
This class is specifically tailored for those who crave 'me time', as well as those who are sensitive or emotional. It offers an opportunity for attendees to connect more deeply with who they are and to digest some of the emotional and mental load that they carry within them.
What to Expect:
This class flow is designed to provide you with a 360 experience. We start off with a meditation to prepare your mind and body, followed by the harmonizing sounds of the Crystal Tones alchemy bowls. After the sound session, there's a period of silence for reintegration during which Cecilia will be sending reiki healing. Finally, you'll be guided back to your regular state by the sound of beautiful chimes.
Benefits:
You'll reap a multitude of benefits, including improved mood, lower blood pressure, improved sleep, mental clarity, stress and anxiety relief, relaxed muscles, and a sense of inner harmony and overall well-being.
You'll Leave Feeling:
You will leave the session feeling like a great weight has been lifted, with a sense of peace and clarity. It's common to feel a bit spaced out initially—this is a normal part of the process.
Aftercare:
Remember to hydrate well after the session, as this aids in processing the energy shifts you may have experienced.
About Brain Waves:
One of the lesser-known but scientifically-backed benefits of our Crystal Bowls class lies in its impact on brain wave activity. Typically, your brain operates at higher-frequency Beta waves during wakeful consciousness, which is often associated with stress and anxiety. The sounds and frequencies produced during the session promote a shift from these Beta waves to Alpha and Theta waves. Alpha waves are linked with relaxed awareness and creativity, while Theta waves are associated with deep meditation, mental clarity, and reduced anxiety. This shift in brain wave activity augments the healing process, facilitating a deeper state of relaxation and well-being.
About Cecilia:
Cecilia Cortes is a Sound Healer, Reiki master, Chakra healer, and woman embodiment coach. She grew up in India in the international Auroville community, and now lives between Los Angeles and Rome and is known for her light-filled presence and her ability to guide people to a radiant, energetic life of self-love, serenity, abundance and joy. Her sound baths have been described as "otherworldly" and "a magical, must-do experience for those just getting into meditation."

Core and Grounding & Inversion Foundation Lab
Join Titti Torchia for a weekend of workshop labs that will empower your practice and deepen your awareness!
Saturday, June 8th, 1-3 PM: Core and Grounding
This workshop is designed to connect with your core, your center, and use its power for the entire practice. Every asana and transition during the sequence will use core activation to find functionality and fluidity in yourmovements.
When you learn to use your core correctly, you stop “sitting on your joints” like the lower back, hips and knees, and your practice becomes safer. Once you integrate this concept into your yoga practice, through activation and strengthening, you will transfer its wisdom to every movement in your life from walking and running to lifting heavy weights and practicing your favorite sport. When the core is strong we are less inclined to suffer injuries.
The first part of the class will focus on activating and strengthening the four main abdominal muscles — transversus abdomen, rectus abdomen, external obliques and internal obliques — with different exercises and asanas. The breath will be our guide as well as kapalabhati pranayam (breath of fire).
The second part of the class will feature a vinyasa yoga sequence where you will learn to use your core not only where its action is most evident, like in navasana, but in almost every transition, like moving from high lunge to warrior two or practicing your favorite arm balance (crow) or inversion (headstand, handstand, pincha). In this second part we will also pay close attention to our feet, our roots, establishing a strong connection from feet to legs to core.
This class is open to all levels. Be ready to have a lot of fun and strengthen the body to, in turn, strengthen the mind!
Sunday, June 9th, 1-3 PM: Inversion Foundation Lab
When I entered a yoga studio for the first time I was in New York; everyone — from 15- to 75-year-olds — was going upsidedown! I was the only one not doing it and I wanted to run out of the class! Today I love inversions, they really put me in a good mood, giving me strength in knowing that with time, patience and perseverance I can always conquer fears and limitations I put in my mind.
This workshop is designed for everyone and especially for “new inverters”! We will start from the basics, strengthening and warming up with a fun and exciting vinyasa practice. We will specifically reinforce the body parts that efficiently help us to feel stronger for inverting and you will feel the difference once these body parts are activated!
Everyone will have their own path in the making. I love the mechanics of the body so I will make sure to give everyone something new to discover and get excited about.
What about fears? We will overcome these by exploring our potential, instead of pushing our limits, with the help of the breath.
The workshop will end with a delicious cool down with more static asanas on the floor and hands-on adjustments that will help you to completely relax and let go.
About Titti:
Titti started practicing yoga when she was seventeen, as therapy for her dance injuries. She was in New York, having an early career as a professional dancer (Martha Graham Dance Company, Elisa Monte) when she understood that yoga was a must, to feel better in her body. Her journey with the yoga practice started then, as she eagerly started to explore all different styles of yoga in NYC: Vinyasa, Jivamukti, Yin, Hatha, Hot and Bikram. Since then she has never stopped practicing, because she realized the power of yoga.
When she came back to Italy, still as a professional dancer, she decided to take the Sivananda Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in the Ashram of Reith in Tyrol, because she wanted to live, practice, and meditate as a real yogi, and as a teacher she wanted to go back to the roots of yoga.
Titti’s classes are full of movement, deep breathing and smiles, and her mission is to try to make her students expand to their highest potential, teaching them how to listen to their body and to their own truth.
RSVP in MindBody. Attend one or both workshops, online or in studio.
The Art of Elemental Touch: Couples' Thai Massage Workshop
Join Marisa Incelli in learning The Art of Elemental Touch!
Discover your partner’s elemental touch language.
We are composed of five elements: earth, water, fire, wind and ether.
It is the balance of these elements which enables us to have a sense of physical and emotional wellbeing and it is the imbalance of one or more of them that creates discomfort, disease and emotional instability.
As a Thai medicine and massage therapist, Marisa is trained in this five element healing theory which in turn is translated into how to touch the body elementally.
This workshop is an opportunity to understand this beautiful elemental lens with which to see through to create a new language for how the body and mind feel. Explore this lens with your partner in a guided workshop of partner elemental touch.
What does it mean to use an earth touch, water touch, fire and wind touch? How do you know what you need, what will bring back to balance that which is out of balance within you, within your partner?
Come with curiosity, leave with a new language of touch with which to communicate.
About Marisa:
Marisa went to art school to become a printmaker, studied classical ballet and then came to yoga and Thai bodywork after scoliosis and kyphosis in her thoracic spine made it necessary to find a form of physical therapy beyond dance. Discovering the various styles of yoga was a personal pursuit then and now, opting for fusion of systems over just one. It wasn't until 15 years into her own yoga journey after being asked to teach did she think about sharing her experiences and education.
Only then did she discover the modality of Thai Bodywork in an advanced training and experienced the radical healing effect it has on both spirit and physical body. Her path has become even more focused on healing with Thai medicine beginning with the teachings of Gwyn Williams, Zen Thai Shiatsu, and continuing to full certification under Sebastian Bruno of Thai Vedic, to Mukti Michael Buck and the Vedic Conservatory. Thai medicine uses not only the modality of physical manipulation but it is based in Ayurvedic medicine, and 5 element therapy with Buddhism at its spiritual heart.
The culmination of her fine art background, physical asana practice, Thai Bodywork, professional cooking, and energetic healing work has compelled her to integrate these disciplines in service to helping one person at a time release their stories, release their trauma and find Samadhi.

The Sound Healing Experience
Join Simone Migliaccio for inner healing through sound.
A sensory journey guided by mystical sounds and chants, an inner hug into deep relaxation, love, and self-discovery. The Sound Healing experience is an opportunity to renew energies and connect with the loving awareness of our being. A magical way to understand ourselves beyond personal suffering.
What to expect:
The first part of the event is dedicated to a brief dharma talk, a guided reflection to enter the meditative state, where thoughts and sensations in the present moment are explored. Then participants are guided towards the release of bodily and mental control. The instruments used include gongs, koshi chimes, Tibetan singing bowls, drums, Native American flute, crystal bowls, and live synths. Additionally, the chanting of Tibetan and Hindu mantras encourages deep introspection, detachment from the ego, and direct connection with our "inner child." Emotional healing is supported, promoting the release of thoughts no longer useful to our personal growth.
About Simone:
Simone’s journey has been filled with various notes and rhythms, traversing the world while discovering the interconnectedness of all things. He resided in London for nearly 10 years, exploring diverse paths, delving into music production, and working as a freelance photographer. In 2018, the practice of yoga opened the door to the pursuit of inner peace. Guided by inspiring teachers, he explored Ashtanga, Hatha, Kundalini, and the Bhakti way of living.
In 2022, Simone and his partner followed their hearts on a six-month journey to Bali, aiming to deepen their practice. Following profound shamanic experiences, his understanding of life reached unimaginable depths, drawing him closer to Himalayan singing bowls. In that realm of inner awareness, he dedicated several hours a day to transcendental meditation and yoga, immersing himself in influential literature and the wisdom of Ram Dass, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Alan Watts. To establish a strong foundation, he attended Sound Healing workshops and an advanced course at The Himalayan Academy of Sound Healing, nurturing his growth in knowledge and love. After six transformative months, he returned to Italy, inspired to share the beauty of his journey. In September 2023, Simone and his partner inaugurated a yoga studio nestled in the Etruscan hills of Cerveteri. There, he offers sound baths, one-to-one healing sessions, and mindfulness classes. Today, he continues navigating this perpetual learning process with patience and gratitude. As he persists on this path, he remains open to connecting with fellow yogis for new experiences, collectively deepening the practice of love and compassion.
Yin Yang Myofascial Workshop
Join Alyssa Goldberg for a vin to yin yoga flow!
This dynamic class is an exploration of the myofascial tissues of the body and the divine masculine and feminine energies within each of us. The first half of the class is an energizing vinyasa style class that incorporates elasticity and pulsing movements designed to create mobility in the body. Think yoga meets martial arts and barre method. The second half is a nourishing and deeply relaxing yin sequence designed to unwind the nervous system and increase flexibility. In balancing these opposite energies, we are able to find more peace and connection between body, mind, and heart.
About Alyssa:
Alyssa Goldberg (RYT 500) is humbled to share her passion and love for yoga with others on a daily basis. Originally from Los Angeles, she currently resides in Ubud, Bali where she teaches at The Yoga Barn. A practitioner for over a decade, yoga continues to be a tool that speaks to her creative soul, enhances her passion for building community, and supports her mission to bring more light into the world. Previously challenged by the idea that she needed to fit into just one box, Alyssa is inspired by the endless potential that lives within each of us, as learned through practicing yoga. She hopes to empower others to find a similar feeling of connection and knowing on their mat, and prioritizes making yoga accessible to all levels and backgrounds.

Rocket III (Dharma Inspired) or Rock your Dharma This routine, called by Larry as Happy Hours or BBQ Rocket, is just a mix of Rocket I and II, combining a lot of fun, upside down and challenging postures coming from the Rocket and Dharma lineages which are both complementary to each other. Working on strength and flexibility:) This sequence works on physical and mental stamina in many different ways, allowing you to recognize limits, but also the potential of your own practice promoting on you higher levels of strength, flexibility and focus. Rocket three is an incredible ride, full of self-awareness. If you are offered a space on the rocket ship do not miss it!!!!! The sequence can be modified according to every student's needs. The main Idea of our practice is to bring more awareness to the body and raise up your consciousness. We are also always open and ready to offer modifications, building the practice step by step, allowing the body to open gently and promoting a gradual transformation instead of forcing your body to get into a particular asana.
BABY ROCKET MASTERCLASS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 10 AM - 12 PM
Baby Rocket is an introduction to The Rocket yoga. It is a complete, accessible, modified and simplified practice for the newbies or those who are at the beginning of their yoga journey. With its foundation in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, Rocket Yoga provides a dynamic sequence that both opens and strengthens the body. Rocket is known for its love for floating and flying, so we will play with several inversions, transitions and arm balances. The perfect marriage of tempo and sequence will awaken the body and the nervous system, and feed your body the precious prana it craves while promoting a spirit of change and freedom in your practice.

Sound Workshops with Kyla Quinn
Kyla Quinn, a professional singer from NYC currently living in Mexico City, is here to help you unblock your throat chakra. The main goal she has when teaching is for you to connect with your voice on 3 levels. First, it’s a physical connection with the mechanics of voice and breath. Second, it’s an emotional connection you have with your life story and identity. And third, it’s a cosmic connection you have with the whole universe that’s bigger than yourself. Music is vibration and the whole universe is made of vibrations. So when you tap into the flow of singing you also connect with the energy of what makes the universe.
Kyla believes everyone already knows how to sing, as singing and music are an innate part of your soul. She's going to help you allow your voice to be and let it shine with beauty.
Topics:
Diaphramic Breathing
Somatic Sounding & Vocal Toning
Voice Qualities/Placement
Singing Patterns with Breath Control
Conscious Active Listening/Feeling
Singing Songs & Improvisation
Communicating Emotion & Personal Story

Arm Balance & Inversion Masterclass, Saturday, June 3, 2 - 4 PM
Life is all about balance. In yoga we balance on our feet, hands, forearms, shins, shoulders, bum, etc. In life we balance schedules, chequebooks, work/life, and so much more. Through this workshop we will explore the intricate balancing act that we find ourselves in as we advance our practice on the mat. From crow, to eka pada konasana 1/2 to forearm balance (pincha), all the way to the ever daunting and sometimes mythical handstand and more, you will explore how to use balance to deepen and expand your practice. While strength is helpful, balance is about finding the perfect equilibrium between all opposing forces. We will explore techniques that allow you to put yourself in the best position to use balance to find yourself in postures you may have thought were impossible. Most/more importantly, you will learn that there is no such thing as perfect balance. We use our strengths on and off the mat to help keep us upright. The strength that is our greatest power is the power to be present and stay connected, so let's get that turkey digested right side up and upside down.
RATE: In Studio €40

Weekend Masterclasses with Carole Toulousy-Michel
Take a quantum leap into Spring 2023 to shift mentally, physically and spiritually into upcoming new paradigms with yoga therapist Carole Toulousy-Michel. Meet our challenging and changing times where strength, endurance, intuition and wisdom are the qualities we presently need to channel. Even though other yogic traditions and modalities will be also used during these classes, Kundalini yoga, referenced in the sacred Vedic texts known as the Upanishads (c. 1000 BC – 500 BC) as a science of energy and spiritual philosophy, offers documented yogic technology to quickly alter our biochemical profile and bring about a very calm healing state associated to a healthy lifestyle. Thus, our following practices will be supported by the appropriate yogic matrix to equalize the energy of our nervous system and of our glandular system and obtain total balance of mind, body and spirit. The following Kundalini Master Classes focus on yogic technology with unique combinations of: specific breathing patterns-pranayama- coupled with energetic body locks -bandhas; special postures and movements including exact positioning of the hands and fingers -mudras; particular mantras, consisting of distinct vibratory sounds; and a unique mental focus.

“TUNE UP YOUR ENDURANCE AND EVOLUTIONARY POWER FOR SPRING” MASTERCLASS
SUNDAY, APRIL 16, 1:00 - 4:00 PM
