What kind of Yoga?

It´s Iyengar Yoga. This yoga method is named after and developed by B. K. S. Iyengar, as described in his bestselling 1966 book Light on Yoga.
Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha yoga that has an emphasis on detail, precision and alignment in the asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath control).
The yoga classes are developed for beginners and intermediates.

Ilaria, your instructor, teaches in a way that is safe, accessible and passionate, proving individual attention to each student.

YOUR TEACHER:

Ilaria Zinzani is a certified Italian Iyengar yoga teacher. She fell in love with yoga in 2006 during her first trip to India and when back home she started practicing regularly. She completed her 3 year teacher training course, started teaching in 2012 and in 2015 she opened her own studio in Italy.

Ilaria travels to India every year to expand her yoga practice and studies, expecially in Pune with the Iyengar family at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute.
She has a degree in Languages and European Studies and completed a 3 year course in Naturopathic Medicine. She also works as a translator for Indian and foreign teachers in yoga conventions and workshop in Italy.
