Our Yoga Path
Gius and Cinzia have always studied and teach according to the tradition of Sri.k Pattabhi Jois and now with Sharath Jois. They deeply believe that only by maintaining the link with the source in Mysore can the knowledge of Ashtanga Yoga be transmitted in an authentic way. Their teaching is based on their experience as students in the first place and tries to ensure that each practitioner can benefit from the practice taking into account their psycho-physical circumstances.
