At Floripa, we celebrate yoga in all its diversity, offering you the chance to explore different styles and deepen your connection to yourself. One of the most transformative practices you can experience with us is Ashtanga Yoga—a dynamic, disciplined, and invigorating style taught by our incredible teacher, Adriana Gianolio.
Ashtanga Yoga is not just a practice; it’s a journey of self-discovery. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the name itself reflects its essence: ashta means "eight" and anga means "limbs," referring to the eight-fold path of yoga. This structured system integrates breath (pranayama), movement (asana), and focus (drishti) into a harmonious flow.
The result? A practice that builds strength, enhances flexibility, and cultivates mental clarity. Through a set sequence of postures, Ashtanga Yoga generates internal heat, detoxifies the body, and sharpens your focus, leaving you feeling revitalized, both physically and mentally.
One of the distinguishing features of Ashtanga is its discipline and structure. Each class follows a specific sequence of poses, allowing you to track your progress and refine your practice over time. This consistency creates a meditative rhythm, helping you stay present and connected with your breath.
Ashtanga Yoga also emphasizes a holistic approach to well-being, blending physical postures with:
✅ Ethical principles (yamas and niyamas) for mindful living.
✅ Breath control (pranayama) to channel energy.
✅ Meditative techniques to cultivate inner stillness.
Adriana Gianolio (Adri), our dedicated and passionate teacher, brings her wealth of knowledge and experience to every session. Her guidance ensures you feel supported and inspired, whether you're a seasoned practitioner or exploring Ashtanga for the first time.
Here at Floripa Surf & Yoga House, the serene atmosphere of our guest house and the natural beauty of Sicily provide the perfect backdrop for your practice. Imagine starting your day with the invigorating flow of Ashtanga Yoga, surrounded by a green garden and the warmth of the Mediterranean sun.
Ashtanga Yoga is ideal for those seeking a structured, challenging, and transformative practice.
It’s perfect if you’re looking to build discipline, enhance your physical and mental endurance, or simply take your yoga journey to the next level.
