Why go
Darshan Yoga Bologna is a small, welcoming yoga studio on Via Sant’Isaia in Bologna. It is fully equipped and works with small groups, so students receive personal attention. Alongside the classes, the studio offers relaxing and decontracting massages, and it also hosts private lessons, workshops and company classes. Classes are booked through the Eversport app.
The studio was opened officially in 2025 by Gaia Tassinari, a Yoga Alliance certified 250+ hour teacher specialising in Akhanda, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga with a trauma-informed approach. She began practising in London in 2014 and trained in Rishikesh, India, in the Akhanda tradition, and she creates a safe space for all bodies and identities.

Hatha yoga style combining postures, breath control and purification techniques with Vedanta philosophy. Suited to beginners in the base class and to experienced practitioners in the multilevel class who want greater depth.
A fluid, dynamic practice where each breath matches a movement, with creative sequences of postures. The Morning Flow version builds around sun salutations and a personal intention to start the day with energy.
A calm, meditative practice for every level, holding supported poses for several minutes with cushions, blocks, bolsters and blankets. It helps release tension, settle the nervous system and relax deeply, with restorative options.
A compact 45-minute session for the working day, with stretching, joint mobilisation, flowing movement and conscious breathing. Meant to ease tension, raise energy and sharpen concentration, and easy to fit into a lunch break.
Relaxing and decontracting massages
Massages of 30, 50 or 80 minutes, relaxing with warm oil and slow flowing strokes, or decontracting with deep pressure for muscle stiffness from stress, posture or sport. Tailored to each person's needs.
