PASSAGGI ARMONICI VINYASA

The Passaggi Armonici Vinyasa® method was born from the experience and research, as practitioners and teachers, of Gian Renato Marchisio and Stefania Valbusa, founders in 2010 of Yoga Sutra Studio in Turin.

Passaggi Armonici Vinyasa® chooses vinyasa as the main tool of yoga practice, understanding it as the synchronization of movement and breath in a specific sequence where the asanas are arranged in a particular way. Vinyasa practice evokes a dynamic approach that emphasizes the harmonious flow between postures, but it is not limited to physical movement; rather, it is a flowing that generates a continuous energy, guided by the breath, integrating body and mind.
Passaggi Armonici Vinyasa® is based on the integration of vinyasa, the dialogue between movement and breath, krama, the method of organizing asanas into sequences, and viniyoga, the personalization of practice to express the potential of each practitioner at any level.

The teacher guides the student by creating, through the method, the conditions for their practice to blossom, like a lotus flower, expressing their inner potential.

The Passaggi Armonici Vinyasa® method therefore proposes a sadhana, a yogic path toward self-knowledge, to be pursued through abhyasa, consistent practice, and vairagya, non-attachment to the results of the practice itself.

The practice is structured in three stages: :

Passaggi Armonici Vinyasa® Intro: guided classes to learn the foundational elements of the practice and introduce vinyasa sequences
Passaggi Armonici Vinyasa® Intermediate: guided practice of more complex sequences, accessible after a period of attending Intro classes for beginners, or directly for those already practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga
Passaggi Armonici Lila Style: self-practice of the acquired Passaggi Armonici Vinyasa® sequences, under the supervision of the teacher in a Mysore Style setting
