Getting to know Paola and the Vento d'Oriente yoga center was one of the most beautiful and revolutionary experiences of my life. I had tried many times to get into yoga but after one or two lessons I gave up. In the Vento d'Oriente centre, however, I immediately felt at home. The raja yoga lessons are comprehensive, a lot of attention given to breathing, meditation, mantras, as well as asanas, of course. Furthermore, there are many intensive courses throughout the year to delve deeper into different topics. Paola also has a small library with interesting texts on yoga, its teachers, its history and philosophy.
