Italian Language and Meditation

The hectic way of life of today's world has led to the rediscovery of meditation, an ancient practice that has proved to be a valuable aid in stress management. Meditation, in fact, encourages relaxation, well-being, serenity, and increased efficiency. Meditation practiced regularly enhances memory, learning capacity, and concentration.
Meditation is simple to learn, affordable for everyone, and suitable for all ages. The course is offered for both beginners and those who already practice and want to experience an international group.

The meditation classes are designed to provide the participant with the basic knowledge necessary to practice independently in daily life.

The meditation classes are conducted in Italian; therefore, in addition to being a great way to relax, the classes are at the same time a very effective exercise in informal language learning.

The course is structured in 2 weekly meetings in the afternoon, lasting about an hour and a half.

The course is offered throughout the year, 2 weeks in every month (except July and August). It is possible to combine the meditation and yoga courses because the respective lessons are held on the same date but on different days of the week.
