Iyengar Yoga Worshop
Christian Pisano February 28 - March 2, 2025
Christian Pisano is one of the most renown Iyengar Yoga teachers in the world. In his more than 35 years of teaching Iyengar Yoga, together with his personal inclination towards philosophy, he has developed a particular way of deconstructing what he has learned in order to bring the practice of yoga to another level of subtlety.
Christian Pisano teaches regularly in Nice (France), where he offers immersion cycles throughout the year, and travels frequently in Europe giving seminars. He is one of the three people who have received an Advanced Senior Diploma from BKS Iyengar. He is also the author of “The Contemplation of the Hero”, “The Desert of Thar” and “The Growl of the Bear”.
The Field of Consciousness or the Joyous Wandering
As stated in the Shiva Sutras, Yoga is made of wonder, the wonder of the mystery of Consciousness. The rituals consecrating the gestures through various asanas and breath are just a reminder that the body and the entirety of reality are the field of Consciousness. `
“I always practice the three reminders. They are like 3 lakes that cleanse the heart. First I always remember that I am a form of infinite Consciousness. Then I always observe the glorious phenomenon of this universe as the expression of my own Consciousness. Most of all I keep the awareness that all the different states of Consciousness are my own self“. Lalla
