Hari Om Yoga School
Hari Om is a Yoga School for who chooses to become a yoga teacher, for who wants to deepen the knowledge of yoga and for anyone desiring to learn, practice, understand what yoga is and to find out more about oneself. The Hari Om Yoga school has been founded by Marco Mandrino. Marco has studied and practices the diverse approaches to yoga in conjunction with other elements belonging to different spiritual traditions and the school plainly reflects this intent.
The school, in fact, avails the collaboration of many disparate teachers, each one of them teaching what they most love, at the best of their knowledge and in accordance to their approach, experience, and point of view. The school has many branches all over Italy, but the center and heart of Hari Om is at Cascina Bellaria, Sezzadio (AL), in the beautiful countryside of the northern region of Piedmont.
At Cascina Bellaria, besides the yoga teacher training, many other annual and ongoing events are organized and take place: Ayurveda workshops, yoga holidays, yoga therapy courses, retreats and seminars and seminars treating different themes and topics, and also pilgrimages to the sacred sites of the East.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai or Thai Boxing is the national sport and cultural martial art of Thailand. It was developed several hundreds of years ago as a form of close-combat that utilizes the entire body as a weapon. Today its definitive origins are debated by modern scholars, as much of the Muay Thai history was lost when the Burmese ransacked Ayudhaya, Siam’s capital city in Thailand, during the 14th century.
Most written Muay Thai history was lost when the Burmese looted the temples and depositories of knowledge held in Ayudhaya, and what volumes were saved are now national treasures that are preserved and protected as documentation for Thai culture and heritage.
