How did you first get started in yoga?
Growing up in Greece, I loved playing football and other sports, but I later found out that I had a heart condition that limited high-intensity activities. In search of a new form of movement, I walked into a yoga studio in Athens and never looked back. At first, Hatha, Vinyasa and Aerial Yoga were my main practice; 15 years on, my practice continues to change and evolve.
What differences have you seen in your practice over the years?
At first, yoga was a way for me to build and maintain strength, flexibility, and balance. Over the years, my practice has evolved beyond the physical aspects. As I introduced meditation and breathwork, I discovered the profound effects these practices have on the mind, body and spirit.
They have helped peel away the layers and uncover hidden corners of my subconscious, supporting me to know, accept, and unconditionally love my true self.
