Science of Wellbeing:
Yoga and Ayurveda


Since we are the authors of our life, it might as well be the most beautiful possible. 

Health cannot be separated from an overall idea that encompasses the various anthropological levels and takes into account humankind's relationship with Creation and other creatures. 

Marco Ferrini

How to foster, repristinate and maintain one’s bio-psycho-spiritual Wellbeing the longest possible?

“Yoga is “Science of Being” and Ayurveda is “Science of Life”. They are an inseparable combination, a millenary knowledge to acquire and put into practice, that renders the invisible world perceptible, offering a new vision of reality, beyond the boundaries of sensorial perceptions.
They instruct us on how to: become promoters of our good health, keep a healthy body and a sharp mind, conduct a balanced life, return to our own center, experience real and lasting wellness.
Taking care of oneself at 360 degrees, become guardians of one’s own bio-psychic balance, elevate one’s own consciousness, be at ease in our spiritual matrix, and raise life quality in every context.
