The way of Silence

This meditative yoga is practiced without goals or intention to improve one's life. The sole purpose of the exploration is to cultivate the art of listening, by developing the ability to be aware of and welcome one's experience. In this approach, classic postures (mahasana) are explored in a meditative, gentle way for several minutes in order to feel the resistances arising in the experience (tensions, thoughts, emotions). The attention is focused on the tactile experience and the breathing sensations during and after the postures. Every sensation is perceived in the present moment, without referring to a past or a future. Breathing exercises (pranayama) are practiced after the postures to free the body-mind from memories, as a way to integrate and celebrate the experience in the unified silence (mouna). Free from identification with a self and a body, we can taste the essence of the nature of all experiences (Atman), pure consciousness.
 
No previous experience but curiosity is required.
