Wellness

The well-being of the individual is the focal point of Orsolina28's vision. For this reason, the center proposes a series of physical preparation activities promoting the psycho-physical balance. The courses of GRAVITYⓇ, pilates, HIIT, and barre workout, open to everyone - dancers or not – are focused on awareness and proper use of the body.


YOGA

Breath (pranayama), positions (asana), withdrawal of the senses (dharana), meditation (dhyana), bliss (samadhi) are the basic principles of Yoga.
Lessons take place over the course of an hour by becoming aware of the body, breath and mind. Follows a phase of preparation for the asanas and of heating. After the asanas, the real heart of the lesson, we finish with a phase of relaxation, essential for absorbing the benefits of the practice on the body, mind and spirit.
Asanas stimulate our muscles, strengthen, tone, lengthen; they stimulate and balance all systems of the body; they improve, in those who practice, both physical and mental aspects, such as flexibility, coordination, strength, balance, concentration, calm...
The Yoga path proposed by Orsolina28 includes, for now, 2 courses divided by dynamism. Lessons can be static, relaxing and passive, dynamic and meditative. They all stimulate a deep balance between mind, body and spirit.
