Andrei Ram is a distinguished yoga practitioner and instructor with a rich history in both the arts and sciences. He holds a background in contemporary dance and choreography, and has studied biology. His profound journey into yoga was significantly influenced by his experiences with Native American philosophies in Colombia, where he was raised. Andrei has spent more than three decades exploring and teaching yoga, emphasizing pranayama—the art of breathing. He has been deeply influenced by Sri Dharma Mittra and has devoted himself to uncovering the essence of yoga practices and translating eastern philosophies into applicable contemporary wisdom. Andrei is currently based in Rome and is actively promoting a new book titled "Prana Nidra."
Integration in Yoga: Andrei emphasizes the idea of yoga as a practice that integrates all aspects of life, from breathing to spiritual understanding, based on personal perception and context.
Prana Nidra Concept: He introduces "Prana Nidra" as a middle practice, providing crucial rest for the energy systems, which consequently rests the mind and body.
Reinterpreting Yama & Niyama: Andrei proposes a shift in understanding core yoga principles—such as seeing Yama as 'caring' rather than 'restriction', fostering a more nurturing approach.
Importance of Conscious Breathing: Highlighting breathing as an art form, Andrei stresses the need for caring consciousness to cultivate prana (life force), impacting a refined and artistic way of living.
Spiritual and Practical Coherence: Emphasizing coherence in yoga practice and life, Andrei advocates for the integration of spiritual insights into daily actions and interactions.
