Practicing with Cinzia and Gius means being concentrated and focused on the mat but always in an atmosphere of lightness and smiles that start from the Heart.
As teachers we believe that the practice must always adapt to the characteristics of each student without ever pursuing the mere physical goal as always seeking a deep relationship with one’s inner self.
