Originally from Cyprus and I have recently moved to Helsinki to continue my studies in the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method. A good friend of mine introduced me to yoga in 2013 and then I started to realise that a somatic embodied practice can be the beginning of a lifelong spiritual journey. To unlock the way of self-awareness and growth I do my best to daily practice, learn and assist here in Helsinki at one of the biggest Yoga Ashtanga Shalas in Europe.

Self-study, the theory of the practice and continues education are as important as the physical one, thus I enhance my knowledge through various readings, courses and workshops with senior Ashtanga teachers. Deeper personal growth requires consistent work and honesty towards other but most importantly towards ourselves. Then a deeper level of awareness and a being offered a wholesome lifestyle in peace and happiness can arise.

My focus on the individuality and daily needs of each practitioner is my priority, creating a safe and nurturing space for mental and physical discovery and growth. Thus, I try my best to offer guidance and hands on adjustments techniques that hopefully will access deeper layers of the body and self under a therapeutic manner.

Recently I have also started self-studies in Ayurveda life science, hoping one day to be an experienced practitioner guided by knowledgeable teachers and help others to follow the ancient method of living a healthy and prosperous life in combination with the Ashtanga practice.
