SALENTO
SALENTO is that portion of Italian land where the West meets the East, point of
fusion among ancient civilizations of the Medi- terranean; an earth to be discovered, kissed by the sun and by a crystalline sea. Salento is a coffer rich of inestimable treasures: medieval white stone villages built perpendicularly to the sea, innumerable evidences of ancient civiliza- tion, country churches, Romanesque Cathe- drals, monumental Basilicas, »federician« castles, archaeological areas (dolmen, menhir), uncontaminated oases, millenary olive groves, park and sea reserves, splendid carsic caves, suggestive and unique »Trulli« houses, the Baroque art, sacred and pagan rites, local fairs, feasts, perfumes and tastes and the deli- ciousness of an authentic and genuine kitchen.
»Yoga in Salento«, our location, is immersed in the magical beauty and nature of Salento where the sun is strong, the coastline is wild, the sea is crystal clear and the traditional local Pizzica music & dance are contagious.

LOCATION: YOGA IN SALENTO – AGRICOLA SAMADHI
Agricola Samadhi is a last generation organic farmhouse located in southern Puglia in the heart of Salento in the Grecia Salentina countryside right in the heart of Zollino, just a few steps from the quaint country train station.
Immersed in the fascinating and authentic atmosphere of Puglia, the Agricola Samadhi farmhouse enjoys a strategic location to dis- cover Salento, just 10 minutes from Lecce and 20 minutes from the most beautiful beaches on the Ionic and Adriatic Seas.
The rooms are located on the large estate, divided into three apartments and the main building with a portico that was completed in July 2011 that overlook the antique villa.
Agricola Samadhi is mixing tradition and innovation both with its offerings and form: two elegant antique buildings from the early 20th century are near recently renovated buildings, surrounded by a green park, immersed in the sound of the wind between the magnificent fronds of the palms and the song of the birds and the hum of the cicadas.
Decide whether to relax along the edge of our large, fresh pool, enjoy an Ayurvedic treatment, a Thai or Shiatzu massage, enjoy the wind caressing the fronds of the palms as you relax in a hammock, walk the 10 hectares of the property or go discover Salento: there’s time for nature walks, artistic excursions, trekking, bicycle tours, horseback riding and sails!

Join Alexandra for a Yoga Nidra session that will take you on a journey into a garden. Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique for deep relaxation; it serves as an effective antidote to our perpetually hectic lifestyles and helps us gain clarity, well-being, and awareness.

This 45-minute Yoga Nidra session will nourish, replenish, and revitalize every part of you. It is the ultimate relaxation technique for releasing stress and tension held in the body.

While this practice is designed to help combat stress and anxiety, the Yoga Nidra technique should not be considered a substitute for appropriate medical care. You can use it to reduce symptoms, side effects, and more effectively address your issues.

Whether you’re a beginner, deciphering the difference between vrksasana (tree) and sirshasana (headstand) or an advanced yogi who can put both feet behind their head, the Jivamukti Open class welcomes you, as it is open to practitioners of all levels.
You work at your own pace, following the teacher’s verbal as well as hands-on guidance. Asana options will be provided for beginners, intermediate and advanced students.
A typical Open class incorporates the five tenets of Jivamukti Yoga:
shastra (scripture)
bhakti (devotion)
ahimsa (kindness)
nada (music)
dhyana (meditation)

An Open class presents classical yoga teachings as relevant to one’s life on and off the mat, drawn from the Focus of the Month essay, supported by chanting, breath awareness, flowing vinyasa sequences, alignment exploration, hands-on assistance, relaxation and meditation. All Open classes include 14 points—asanas, meditation and spiritual teachings—in a sequence creatively designed by the teacher. Exuberant, eclectic music plays an integral role: you might practice to a shifting soundtrack of ragas, global trance, hip-hop, spoken word, George Harrison, Sting, Krishna Das, Donna de Lory, Michael Franti, Bill Laswell, Alice Coltrane and Mozart.

The class is called “Open” because it is open and suitable to all levels of practitioner. Even so, beginning level students should know that there will not be much detailed “how to do” descriptions; for that a student is advised to attend a Basic or Beginner Vinyasa Class.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga requires regular practice to memorise the sequence, synchronise the breath and reap the benefits. It offers strength and flexibility, develops both physical and mental awareness, balancing the body and mind. It is a dynamic and progressing sequence of postures linked together by the breath. For each movement there is one breath. The set sequence builds discipline and patience, minimising indulging in strengths and avoiding weaknesses! Progress is self-evident and experiential.

The Primary Series, called Yoga Chikitsa, detoxifies and aligns the body.

This class aims to offer a progression through the Ashtanga Primary Series, which series consists of standing, sitting and finishing postures (backbends and inversions).

Each student will be working within their physical capacity to access challenging postures, using modifications as necessary. The teacher will offer physical hands on adjustments to students who want it.

About Gillian Cahill:
Gillian was fortunate to find Ashtanga in her early twenties and has been practicing and teaching for the last twenty years. She has studied in Mysore with Sharath and Patabhi Jois as well as with senior Ashtanga teachers Richard Freeman, Kathy Cooper and Paul Dallaghan. She has also undertaken advanced Pranayama studies with Paul. Since she is a mum of 3 young kids she now has a special interest in Ashtanga during pregnancy and in maintaining a practice post kids. She strongly believes that when taught correctly (i.e. with correct alignment and breath) Ashtanga is for everybody. Most of all, she brings a sense of fun and playfulness into her teaching that makes the practice of Ashtanga accessible and beneficial to all.
