To heal is to
be whole

Your invitation is to notice
the constant gifts and graciousness
that come to you
in every moment of need
so that you can enjoy, accept and receive these blessings.
How will you receive or even see these gifts
if you are busy controlling everything,
assuming that you know what’s best in each moment?
Trust, faith, surrender.
This will lead you to notice, receive, and feel gratitude.
You will be put directly into a place of abundance and flow.

    Agatha from Lithuania
  • "I have been studying Yoga at HIA since 2017. This Yoga school has become a sanctuary for me, where I can regularly practice this discipline that is close to my heart. In particular, what I liked is that they teach classical yoga derived from hatha yoga, Marrying the principles of the 8 limbs of yoga, from the Sutras of Patanjali. They are complete theoretical and practical courses, studied to give an enriching experience in the world of Yoga, so essential for a yoga training."
