Philosophy is written in this grand book  (I mean the universe) which stand continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth.

—Galileo Galilei 1623

Yoga is a mind-body language and its vocabulary can be also abstracted in mathematical shapes.

This is the intent of my class energia, where movement sequences based on yoga postures vocabulary can be thought as embodiment of geometrical shapes. Geometry inspires movement while movement defines geometry.

Energia is  designed as a psychosomatic approach to deal with distress caused by emotional and mental abuse.

I will be teaching a community class at Lululemon on Broadway & 75 Street on Saturday May 23.

emotional survival practices | First Sunrise

On Sunday October 19 I experienced an extremely painful emotional situation. After an almost sleepless I tried to get up and encounter the sun rising behind the Upper East Side buildings from one of my favorite places in Central Park: the reservoir. The meditative focus on the sun water reflection had an healing effect, bringing some solace in this emotional rollercoaster.
