Yoga has been a path that guided me away from anxiety and suffering. The mindful movement, breath awareness, meditation, and sound healing have anchored me and helped me restore my optimism and joy for life.

When yoga came into my life, I mainly focused on the physical aspect and wanted to improve my handstands and arm balances, all of which I still love practicing:) But soon, I realized that yoga was so much more than just asana. I started reading about the yogic philosophy and at some point found myself enjoying spending more time meditating and exploring my breath after the asana.

​

I have a profound admiration for my teacher, whom I consider one of the most exceptional teachers in the Anusara style of yoga. Her passion for yoga and the strong connection she fosters with her students through disciplined practice made me realize that this is what I wanted to offer to other people who are looking to explore their own path of yoga.

After my first child was born, I developed more interest in healthy nutrition and a balanced diet. When my second child developed a dairy allergy as a newborn, I knew that a healthy diet is the key to healthy living. 

I cook every day for 4 persons so I know that time is precious. My goal is to create nutritious dishes that are quick, easy, and delicious for the whole family. (As a family of Greeks, we love spending time in our kitchen cooking and eating, and of course, I love preparing Greek dishes, but this is another story…)

During my first 200hr Yoga Teacher Training I started exploring the path of Ayurvedic Nutrition. The simplicity and the holistic approach of Ayurveda fascinated me and I started incorporating its principles into my everyday life. This helped me improve my gut health, overcome seasonal allergies, and find mental clarity and stability. I also learned how to prevent burnout, which I was on the verge of experiencing at that time. This is why I decided to study Ayurvedic Nutrition.

From an early age, music became an important part of my life, as I began in the age of 6 to play the piano. There is not a single day in my life without listening to music. Music is memories, emotions, thoughts that are suppressed, words that cannot be otherwise expressed. 

Sound Healing came into my life when I first experienced its profound impact on the soul, body, and mind. This inspired me to explore the possibilities of Sound Healing further, so I registered for a training program. My background in music was beneficial, but it was my intuition and awareness that allowed me to dive deeper. I began integrating sound into my yoga practice and also utilize it independently during Tibetan Sound Massages.

Aromatherapy and the blending of essential oils are also important parts of my daily life. The first essential oil I ever used was Ylang Ylang, and I still recall how its soothing aroma calmed me instantly and helped me relax before bedtime. This experience sparked my desire to explore what aromatherapy has to offer and how it can be combined with yoga, leading me to study it further and learn how essential oils can promote health and well-being.

I began making candles as a creative hobby and a way to relieve stress, but it quickly developed into a true passion for the craft. Now, I incorporate candles, fragrances, yoga, and Ayurveda into my daily routine at home and during my yoga classes. This allows me to create a peaceful oasis where I can find tranquility and enhance the experience for my students.
