Urban Yogi
I have been practicing and teaching yoga for more than 30 years. It is a constant companion that has never let me down. Yoga awakens the spirit of enquiry that starts on the mat (or meditation seat) yet doesn’t end there, guiding us towards the presence and connection that allows us to realise our true nature, the deep peace that lies at the very heart of existence.
Yoga practice is about cultivating presence , responding to what arises, moment by moment, breath by breath. My approach combines an embodied asana practice with an exploration of yoga’s potential for greater self knowledge and deepening awareness. Postures, breath work, meditation and relaxation can encourage you to explore your inner world. Notice your thoughts, feelings and reactions on the yoga mat and you can begin to apply what you discover to everyday life.

Scaravelli-inspired Yoga workshops with Marc J Acquaviva
ongoing
online and in person
Scaravelli-inspired Yoga involves a deep personal process of transformation through developing awareness of,and exploring and simplifying relationships between, the pull of gravity from beneath, the action of the breath, and the potential liberation and elongation of the spine that can arise from those relationships.
It is a principle that is both revolutionary and absolutely common-sense, and can be the foundation that forms into a fascinating life-long journey of self-inquiry that somehow sheds light on the true nature of being human.
To Marc's understanding the word 'yoga' means to bind, to put back together, to reintegrate. It has nothing to do with achieving postures by distorting the body, but it has everything to do with creating the unique condition of harmony and synergy within the structure, and by reflection, within the human being. When this state is achieved, the body is suddenly capable of moving in extraordinary ways with simplicity and grace.
I have worked wth Marc for many years. His approach goes beyond the surface of posture work to cultivate a deep enquiry into the nature of the relationship between ourselves and the world we inhabit so that we can live and move with more ease, grace and freedom.
