Cinzia Cavedon
Hi, I'm Cinzia your Yoga Teacher with interest in breathing techniques, mindfulness, sound healing and other holistic practises. Always curious to know more and expand my experience in the holistic field I started my journey by becoming an energy field practitioner, then a holistic massage therapist and then followed my passion for Yoga with courses and diplomas including Special Yoga and mindfulness for Autism and ADHD, and yoga to children with special needs in order to learn how to share this science of life with different populations and different needs.
I like to make yoga accessible to everybody. There is no limitation as Yoga is not about how flexible we are. The focus instead is on how present we are in our body and in your mind and how we can feel better after good stretching, deep breathing and a nice relaxation. It’s a journey towards reconnecting with our inner beauty and truth and this is what fascinates me.
I have a caring and empathic personality and I have found great support and benefits myself from the yoga practice during the most difficult times of my life. I'm happy to share the benefits of yoga with all different age groups and clients tailoring each class to their unique specific needs. It is a lifelong practice for developing inner peace and calm. When we are able to get out of stress and go into a relaxed state, this creates the optimum condition and possibility for positive change.

Yoga
Yoga is a centuries old practice that includes postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (known as pranayama). These techniques can lead to fundamental benefits across the entire spectrum of body, mind and spirit. As a result of practice, people have reported feeling more focused, connected and settled, less tense, stressed and anxious, and having increased concentration and creativity. It can also lead to greater confidence and openness and willingness to embrace challenges, as well as improving strength that will complement any other physical activity you do.
The practice of asana also exemplifies the more Eastern perspective on health - that body, mind, emotions and spirit are linked. Asanas work by stimulating connective tissue throughout the body which in turn influences different aspects of our being. So for example, by entering a posture which stimulates connective tissue in the legs, it can have an effect on organs in the lower abdomen and the thoughts and feelings - in our inner world - which are associated with those organs, as well as alleviating physical tension.
While there are many types of yoga practice, it has an overall harmonising effect and stimulates 'right brain’ function - which brings us more into our sensory awareness of the world around us, as well as pacifying the ‘inner chatter’ in your mind. This essentially alleviates the sense of division between you and your outer world and relates to the archetype of how yoga makes you feel at ‘One’.
Pranayama and general breath awareness further helps to deepen the relaxation response, and the effect on your hormones and endorphin production comes with a general sense of increased wellbeing and positivity. There are many other documented facets of yoga and to some degree each individual will have a unique experience of the class as it impacts your own inner world in a unique way!
