The (half) Full Story

From San Francisco & London, all the way forward to Crete.

Would you believe that a Molecular Virologist sought the path of Yoga?

I started my adult life with big ambitions to become an accomplished researcher in the biomedical field. And guess what? I got there. BUT there was something missing. And that was internal validation. That's when I turned to Yoga. Yoga as a tool rather than a solution. A tool to extend the amount of time I am present rather than imagining catastrophic scenarios or daydreaming. A tool to look within me for everything I need, so I can make my human experience joyful. Sound Healing & Thai Massage came somewhere along the way.

Mission

Offering CUSTOMIZED Yoga, Sound Healing & Restorative Touch sessions to my clients. And when required, detaching myself from the idea/plan I had about today's session, since different people have different needs but most importantly an individual has different needs on different days.

There’s no perfect way to practice — only your way.
Each offering is tailored to support you where you are — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Vision

A lifestyle that is free from the stress of performance. And I want this to translate into both my personal Yoga practice and my professional activity. I have a long way to go, but I'm on my way. And so are you. So release expectation & come as you are. Practice and all is coming.

Studies & Certifications

At the end of the day, we continuously learn along the way. Rather than providing a long list of certifications, I'd like to thank my teachers for the condensed knowledge they've generously shared with me but above all, I want them to know that I consider them my teachers primarily because of the amazing human beings they are:

Thank you Kristina Karitinou & Dennis Ireland for the Ashtanga Yoga principles.

Thank you Manolis Zografakis for the healing sounds.

Yoga Principles

We don't master the pose. We meet the pose & our breath over and over again until their combo no longer scares us.

I'm physically & mentally working towards an eventually sitted practice through the Traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga lineage.

Don't worry too much about definitions & titles. Just come to class and the rest will come. Some days I lie on my mat, breathe & rest. And that is OK.

All backgrounds welcome, always!

Thai Massage Principles

I had the chance to learn this healing tool from an Osteopath & a Yoga Teacher, so I incorporated both schools of thought in my Thai Massage Ritual, alongside my own personal additions, mostly regarding the spiritual part of the massage.

A gentle thank you to my inspirers

Thank you to my family for teaching me to be a decent & kind human being and for supporting my life decisions even when they don't make any sense.

Thank you to Kristina Karitinou, Dennis Ireland, Angeliki Touloumi & Nadia Al Huquail for teaching me to be a good person first and for reminding me that practice and all is coming.

And to all the aforementioned, thanks for leading by example!
