Freedom. This is the word that, for me, describes Vanda Scaravelli’s yoga.

Vanda’s approach focuses on the essentials but requires full presence, awareness, and listening.

The internal movement, which guides the postures during practice and frees our breath, arises from the intention to move toward freedom.

A simple concept that demands clarity, presence, sensitivity, and receptivity in practice.

“It is very important to be rested when we do the postures, always relaxed. Always in a receiving attitude… Why do we do the postures? Not to achieve a goal. You must never have in mind what you want to do, but what the body can accept.” — Vanda Scaravelli

In over twenty years of practice, I have integrated all my experiences, yet I feel that Vanda’s Yoga represents the roots from which many of my insights flourish.
