This seminar represents always an important moment for Hatha and Iyengar Yoga in Romania. David Meloni is one of the only 4 teachers that hold the "Advanced Senior Certificates" granted worldwide by the Iyengar Family. Davide Meloni together with Move On is helping to develop this advanced method of Hatha Yoga in Romania. Those who already attended the first two seminars will keep deepening the practice and those who will come for the first time will have the chance to meet a true master of the discipline.
For the first time one of the most highly certified Iyengar Yoga teachers in the world will visit Romania and will share his teachings with us. This unique type of Yoga comes from his master, also called Guruji by his disciples and certified teachers, Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar. Guruji found the meaning of Sutras by his practical search and regular practice of Yoga. Thus, he helped millions of people to experience the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. His style of teaching is called "Iyengar Yoga", but Guruji himself wrote on his books that he practiced and taught always Hatha Yoga.
Today, Iyengar Yoga is one of the most respected practices of Yoga Asana. Is a strong practice, with great emphasis on precision and alignment; also with a deep self-observation and awareness while practicing the Asana. This method continuously inspires Yoga schools and teachers, practitioners and amount of people in the search of the perfection every day.
