Christian Pisano in Berlin
“Our existential theatre is the opportunity to recognize ourselves as awareness, as consciousness. We can use rituals as reminder of the presence of awareness. In fact, this ritual– that is the ritual of yoga – can remind us of what we cannot forget which is the space of consciousness. I do not speak of the practice of yoga as a way to control the body, the senses, the breath, the mind but rather as a celebration of the field of consciousness that is the body, the mind, reality.”

We are looking forward to welcoming you all in Berlin for this event!
The Field of Consciousness
“I always practise the three reminders. They are like lakes that cleanse the heart. First, I always remember that I am a form of infinite Consciousness. Then I always observe the glorious phenomenon of this universe as the expression of my own Consciousness. Most of all I keep the awareness that all the different states of Consciousness are my own self.”
Lalla (c. 720–790 CE), Indian mathematician, astronomer and astrologer
About Christian Pisano
In his more than 35 years of teaching Iyengar Yoga, Christian Pisano has developed a way of unlearning and deconstructing what he has learned in order to bring the practice of yoga to another level of profundity. He favours spontaneous instruction at the heart of each asana as well as the recognition of a living pedagogy that is innate to us, but that we have often forgotten.
Christian spent several years in India to study with his master. At this time, he also studied philosophy and Sanskrit. His philosophical inclination has led him towards the non-dual approach of the Trika system, more commonly known as Kashmiri Shaivism.
Today, Christian Pisano teaches regularly in his yoga studio in Nice (France) and also travels frequently in Europe giving seminars and workshop. He is one of the very few people who have received an Advanced Senior Diploma from BKS Iyengar. He is the author of the books “The Contemplation of the Hero”, “The Desert of Thar” and “The Growl of the Bear”.
