Over ten years ago, I started practicing yoga—though my first classes were way before that but honestly speaking left me unimpressed. It wasn't until an incident while diving in the Gilis, Indonesia that I felt a deep calling to yoga. After recovering from a minor chest issue, after being pulled out of the water and put on oxygen, I returned to London and found a nearby Iyengar studio. My first class ignited a passion that hasn't faded since.

My journey progressed quickly as I wasn’t just interested in asana practice, it was the philosophy interesting me too. Years of Iyengar practice inspired me to teach, but I wanted to explore other styles first. After immersing myself in various practices, I headed to India for teacher training in multiple styles. This transformative experience not only expanded my knowledge but also helped me shed old layers and emerge more stable, grounded, and centered. I often say that regular practice builds strong walls of our temple that protect us from external forces making us more aware, present, flexible and light.

I began teaching immediately (by the I have moved to Crete, Greece) and found that discovering my voice and message was a gradual process. Observing my students, especially in private sessions, fueled my constant study of anatomy and the latest body research, more training in Yin yoga, myofascial release, TCM (foundations of traditional Chinese medicine, breath work). My main question has always been: How can I help?

On a parallel path, I studied Shiatsu, a Japanese healing massage technique. Combining these two ancient practices—yoga and Shiatsu—allowed me to address issues like headache, upper back issues, low back issues, hips, knees, stress more effectively. Creating different courses for my students for them to feel supported with knowledge or reasons of pain (depending of topic we cover) and how implementing the knowledge and practice we can help ourselves on the daily basis.

Working primarily with women, I started offering women’s circles, day retreats, and full retreats. These events delve into feminine energy, using various techniques that I bring to the retreats depending on our topic to help women stay focused, grounded, and true to their intuition. I love integrating different practices and continuously expanding my knowledge in the realms of spiritual, holistic, and energetic healing.
