Centered Yoga at Vinyasa Studio Torino
What is Centered Yoga by Dona Holleman?
Centered Yoga is a method perfected by Dona Holleman, deriving from her personal experience and encounter with the philosophy of Krishnamurti, the Hatha Yoga of B.K.S. Iyengar, the shaman religion of Castaneda and her friendship with Vanda Scaravelli.
It is based on the Eight Vital Principles for practice:
The meditative state of mind or the ‘not-doing’ of the mind;
Relaxation or the ‘not-doing’ of the physical body;
Intent or the ‘not-doing’ of visualisation;
Rooting or the use of gravity;
Centering or the awareness of hara;
Aligning;
Breathing;
Elongating.
