Bio
The (half) Full Story
From San Francisco & London, all the way forward to Hydra, Sparta & Athens.
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. Thai Massage, Aerial Yoga & Acrobatics and Sound Healing came somewhere along the way.
Mission
Offering CUSTOMIZED Yoga, Massage and Sound Healing 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.
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
(so just papers...)
Just papers, so I won't even bother listing them!!
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. I picked up Aerial Yoga, because it is FUN. 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 teachers Kristina Karytinou, Angeliki Touloumi & Nadia Al Huquail for teaching me to be a good person first and for reminding me that practice and all is coming.
​
Thank you 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.
​
And to all the aforementioned, thanks for leading by example!
