Postural yoga is a branch of Hatha Yoga based on a predominantly static, meticulous and therapeutic practice. When we provide a motor stimulus, the central nervous system modifies the body in response.
In postural yoga this stimulus lasts longer, is combined with conscious breathing, and science tells us that stimuli maintained beyond 90 seconds modify the fibrous tissue of the muscular fascia, with direct effects on the shape of the body and on emotional experience.

It is an activity that works on postural realignment through mobility, flexibility and stability exercises, making the body less rigid, stronger and more capable of facing daily life.

We must never forget that posture also represents a true mirror of each person’s inner balance: practising postural yoga does not bring benefits exclusively on a physical level, but also exerts a profound effect on a psycho-emotional level.

This discipline helps develop a greater capacity for self-listening, enhances concentration and fosters a deeper personal awareness, thus significantly improving overall well-being.t’s an activity that focuses on posture and is therefore aimed at postural realignment using exercises for mobility, flexibility, and stability to make the body less rigid and stronger to face daily life at its best.

Postural yoga is for you if…

You have back pain (neck pain, upper back pain, lumbar, sciatica) and want to feel better.
You live with stress-related muscle tension and want to learn how to release it
Your body feels stiff and you want to regain your former flexibility
You want to strengthen your back and correct your posture
You have shallow breathing and want to re-learn how to breathe deeply
Anxiety and insomnia affect your quality of life and you want an approach that involves the body as well

Furthermore…
Postural yoga is also the ideal path for anyone who wants to dedicate quality time to themselves and grow in body awareness, building flexibility, strength and presence.

Stories of my clients…

“I was in a period where I felt like a pressure cooker, so my colleague suggested I try yoga. She told me not to expect anything, just to give it a try. I tried it, and during relaxation, tears streamed from my eyes… I don’t know what, but something had opened up. So, I decided to experiment and I enrolled. My goal is to be more free physically, mentally, and emotionally. In every breath phase, my body allows itself to let go, and I become lighter and more flexible.”

MARINA

“For me, yoga is all about energy. You have to unite your breath with movements and shift your focus to feeling. Stefania taught me how to find myself in every moment. Her energy and teachings helped me become more aware of who I want to be. My body is more flexible, more centered, and more energetic. Even at work, I can manage my team and my company better. I have more time for myself and more resources.”

VALENTINA

“I started practicing yoga at work during lunch breaks as a proposal from my company. I accepted because when I was young, I used to do a lot of sports, and now, having little time, I had to reduce it. With yoga, I experienced so many benefits that I decided to add another lesson with Stefania and try Postural Yoga. In my body, I developed greater flexibility, strength, and energy. At work, I am much clearer; even my colleagues notice that I have better memory and can manage my tasks more effectively.”

SIMONA

“I went to an osteopath because I was having trouble breathing, felt a punch in my stomach right after eating, and had various physical tensions. At the first treatment, he told me that I had accumulated so many internal tensions that my body couldn’t handle it anymore. I couldn’t believe it was just that, so I decided to have an x-ray done. I was eating and digesting, but there were days when I felt a stabbing pain in my stomach after eating. So, looking around, I saw a flyer for yoga and I thought, why not give it a try. I need to do an activity that releases me globally, even psychologically. My breath, I was shattered, I felt old. When I was young, I always did sports, swimming, then as I got older I stopped, but I can’t stay old like this, I have to do something! Slowly, I realized the change in posture and breathing. I no longer have the punch in the stomach, digestion has improved too. I was always angry, even at work, now I arrive with a smile and even my colleagues notice, and I transmit my energy to them too.”

Yoga and science: what the research says

In recent years, scientific research has confirmed what yoga practitioners experience every day on the mat. The regular practice of Hatha Yoga produces measurable benefits across multiple areas:ecent scientific research has revealed that within programs designed to promote the mental and physical well-being of those with established pathologies, Hatha Yoga is a useful, practical, and valid tool.

Posture and flexibility: improvement in anthropometric characteristics and joint mobility (Cheung et al., 2014, 2017)
Nervous system and stress: reduction of stress symptoms and improvement of neuromuscular functioning (Halder et al., 2015)
Cognitive functions: increased cerebral blood flow, neurogenesis and attentional capacity (Gothe, Kramer, McAuley, 2017)
Mood and emotional well-being : reduction of anxiety and negative affective states, improvement of cardiovascular function (Yeung et al., 2014)

Studies conducted by institutions such as Harvard Medical School, the British National Health Service and the National Institutes of Health confirm the effectiveness of the practice. Research from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found that the practice of asanas can reduce markers of physical frailty and increase longevity, having analysed 33 studies across 12 countries involving over 2,000 participants.

The benefits of the in-person postural yoga course

Practising with an expert guide makes all the difference, especially in the early stages, when body awareness is still developing. In class you can receive personalised corrections, adapt the poses to your specific needs and benefit from the energy of the group.

Reduced stress and muscle tension
More energy, mental clarity and better sleep quality
