Disclaimer: This program is intended for emotionally healthy individuals and should not be considered a substitute for psychological or psychiatric therapy.
An online program, live and in a completely personal format (1:1), created to accompany you in learning a simple, deep, and human meditation practice.
Throughout this process, you will learn, from the very beginning, ancient breathing patterns and meditation practices that have helped people for thousands of years transform the way they relate to themselves, to solitude, and to the world around them.
No previous experience is required. This space is designed to help you establish a deep and lasting meditation practice. For those with prior experience, the program can be adapted to explore more specific breathing and contemplative objectives.
The program is designed as an intimate space where practice is woven together with dialogue, reflection, and philosophical inquiry. Because beyond meditation itself, it is also about understanding what is happening within you, physiologically and experientially, when you meditate.
Over the course of four weeks, you will explore your breath as a precise tool for self-connection and self-understanding.
– How does it work?
The program lasts a total of four weeks.
Each week includes:
(i) Two live sessions, 1.5 hours each.
(ii) Extra-class meditative practices assigned to be done alone, thus integrating the habit of meditation and its benefits, from personal experience.
– What will you learn?
In each session, you will receive ancient breathing and meditation techniques, explained from a theoretical and practical perspective that combines history, physiology, and modern science. You will understand everything you practice not only from the physical experience, but also from the theoretical basis that supports the exercises in this program.
– Where and how?
Sessions are held live via Zoom. And if you want to do it with someone else, you can share the program from the same device, without changing the registration fee.
– You will receive a method based on simple meditation practices to establish yourself in the habit of meditation.
– Breathing patterns to learn to use your breathing as a meditative resource for inner exploration.
– Talks related to the practice, theory and history of breathing meditation.

– That said, if you are currently under psychological or psychiatric treatment, you may consult your therapist or doctor to determine whether this program is appropriate for you. I have worked with many individuals in similar circumstances with very positive results.
