Thanks to our experience, we can organize courses/trainings in a splendid location.
In the meantime, let's try to explain simply what Yoga is.
Yoga is a psychophysical discipline, a method through which the mastery of all spiritual forces is achieved and guided in the desired direction. Its goal is to achieve inner peace, supreme knowledge, and liberation from the bonds of the world and matter.
In its classical form, the path of Yoga, rajayoga, is divided into eight degrees, eight groups of techniques that correspond to eight spiritual levels, divided into two phases.
THE FIRST STAGE is that of Hatha Yoga:
- The first level is called Yama, and involves the rejection of violence, falsehood, theft, sexual pleasure, and greed;
- The second level, Niyama, involves the observance of purity, frugality, asceticism, the study of sacred texts, and the recitation of sacred formulas, particularly the quintessential mantra, OM.
These first two levels prepare for the true practice of yoga. - The third level is Asana, the yoga of correct postures, the postures assumed for meditation;
- The fourth level, called Pranayama, aims to control breathing.
The first stage ends with the suppression of the senses, which is achieved with pratyahara.
THE SECOND STAGE is that of raja yoga, the true yoga, the highest part of yoga. It is composed of three levels:
dharana, which aims at total concentration;
dhyana, in which the mind rises to spheres that transcend thought;
samadhi, in cui si raggiunge la coincidenza tra pensiero e oggetto del pensiero.
