Y OGA S HALA
PERUGIA
an urban workshop to remember
We are very happy and honored to continue hosting Susanna Finocchi at our Shala. She is a Certified Teacher and has been a student of Guruji Sharath Jois for over thirty years. By practicing dedication, devotion, discipline, and determination, we deepen our understanding of the practice with stability and lightness, following the parampara (lineage).
This is an event eagerly awaited by many Ashtangis throughout Italy, and we are privileged to offer it at our Shala— a place where we nurture and cultivate Indian tradition by transmitting the teachings we receive directly from Mysore and India.
We continue tirelessly and with confidence, also thanks to our collaboration with this wonderful woman and teacher, who always creates a serene and joyful atmosphere around her— a space to practice, study, get to know oneself, challenge oneself, and trust.
Thanks to her energy and vast experience, we will be guided through a nourishing weekend for the body, mind, and soul.

what we do explained with the right words
The three Mysore Style practices will be accompanied by two theoretical and practical insights and by chanting and philosophy, one of the passion subjects that Susanna has explored in her studies.
- Mysore Style -
Individual practice supported by the energy of the group. Susanna will support each individual practitioner in his or her personal sadhana (practice) with indications and actions useful for getting more in touch and in tune with one's own breathing, so that the practice of asanas becomes increasingly a peaceful and easy tool towards self-awareness.
- Chanting -
It is the traditional form of meditation and knowledge transmission in India. The sacred verses, the alphabet, the mantras are repeated after listening to them from the teacher who pronounces them correctly, the system is today handed down by scholars and Brahmins.
- Philosophy -
Yoga comes from India and has its roots in its cultural matrix, delving into its traditions, philosophical and religious systems allows us to understand that the form we practice is a part of a whole that takes on meaning when whole.
Susanna Finocchi, explained clearly
Who is Susanna
Susanna Finocchi is an Authorized and Certified Ashtanga Yoga teacher by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath Jois of KPJAYI-SYC in Mysore, India. This means she is qualified to teach the entire series, including the more advanced ones (from the second series onwards). An experienced practitioner, she was a dedicated and devoted student of SharathJi Jois, working closely with him to complete the third series by consistently and diligently traveling to Mysore. After the premature passing of Guruji SharathJi in 2024, she assisted at the SYC Shala, helping to spread and honor the lineage and method as they were passed down.
Starting in 2000, Susanna, together with Jens Bache, founded and co-directed the Yogashala "Astanga Yoga Copenhagen" for 18 years and since 2009 she has had the honor of hosting SharathJi 7 times, the last workshop in July 2019.
A scholar of Sanskrit and Indian classical texts for 4 years at the University of Copenhagen, she recently returned to live in Rome, her city of origin. To date, he offers his experience by conducting traditional Ashtanga Yoga courses, workshops and seminars in Italy and Europe in the numerous Shales dedicated to the practice.
