“Peace in the body gives poise in the mind." – BKS Iyengar
Guruji quote is both inspirational and aspirational.
Most of us understand and have experienced the many benefits of Yoga. These benefits range from the physical to the more subtle aspects that all help to increase our overall well-being.
When our body feels disconnected, disjointed our overall sense of being feels off. However Yoga, when approached with thoughtfulness and correct actions (as prescribed by Guruji) one begins to cultivate integration through the various aspects of our being. This union, experienced through the fullness of being, is the very definition of Yoga.
Be prepared to be physically and mentally immersed in your practice through David Meloni’s skillful sequencing, accessible approach to Asana and Yoga as he transmits the essence of Guruji, BKS Iyengar’s, teachings.

"Pillars of Practice • Modifications & Variations in Asana as Key Components to Svadhyaya (self study)"
February 7th - 9th, 2025 in Florence, Italy
• In-Person and in English & Italiano • Space is limited •
BKS Iyengar embodied practice. At the heart of what he taught, Guruji encourage us to explore in our practice and through our practice to develop the awareness to realize Yoga. However, how we practice and the quality of practice determines its effectiveness and whether we can be touched by the transformative characteristics inherent in Yoga itself.
Be prepared to be physically and mentally immersed through David Meloni’s accessible approach through hands-on adjustments during Asana and Pranayama as he transmits the essence of Guruji, BKS Iyengar’s, teachings.
Join us this February in Florence for a 3-day in-person only mini-immersion to further unlock your path of profound and dedicated practice through Svadhyaya (self-study) as David Meloni rigorously learned from Guruji.
“David's teaching is superb - his knowledge and understanding, his deep concentration and focus, his attention and care for his students, and his profound love for Iyengar Yoga and its tradition all make his lessons and workshops extraordinarily valuable.
David is a teacher in the truest sense of the word. His teaching comes not from a place of power or ego, but from a place of authority grounded in many years of dedicated practice and study.
One of the incredibly important effects of this, I found, was that I could simply surrender to David's authority and let go of the grip on my ego ... in this way real learning takes place. A truly wonderful experience!”
