Shala Mandala Venezia
Uno spazio intimo dedicato alla pratica quotidiana secondo il metodo tradizionale Mysore, nel cuore di Cannaregio, Venezia.
In the heart of Venice, in the historic district of Cannaregio, Mysore Venezia is a space dedicated to the traditional practice of Ashtanga Yoga.
The shala is located in Campo della Fosca, Fondamenta de Ca’ Vendramin, 2417, 30121 surrounded by canals, bridges and the narrow calli that characterize Venetian life. Away from the busiest tourist areas, it offers a quiet and intimate place for daily practice while remaining deeply connected to the life of the city.
Students arrive within this window and practice at their own rhythm, receiving individual guidance and adjustments. Suitable for both beginners and long-time practitioners. Classes are intentionally small to allow space, presence and personal attention. Advance confirmation is required
Teaching approach:
I teach Ashtanga and meditation in the same spirit in which they were transmitted to me in India:
with simplicity, humility, continuity and deep respect for each student’s rhythm.
The Mysore method is a personal and silent practice.
Each practitioner is guided individually through the sequence, step by step, according to their breath, their body, and the moment of life they are in.
This creates a space of presence, stability and inner listening.
I value a calm atmosphere, slow mornings, and a soft approach to discipline.
The room is quiet, adjustments are gentle, instructions are minimal but precise, and the breath leads every movement.
Nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed.
The practice becomes a conversation with oneself.
Meditation, mantra and breathwork are part of the same path.
These practices were central in my years of study in India, and I integrate them naturally into the way I teach — as tools for clarity, steadiness, emotional balance and inner freedom.
My intention is to hold a space where students can develop consistency, awareness and trust in their own process.
A place where the body becomes stronger, the breath becomes steadier, and the mind becomes quiet.
This is a practice for life.
A daily ritual of care, discipline and devotion.
You are welcome to grow within it, gently and at your own pace.
