Hey,
Thank you for being here.
Below I share a little bit more about my journey.
I am here because my curiosity for what lies underneath our habitual ways of seeing ourselves and the world has opened me to the vast possibilities of being at home in myself, in relationship to others, and in relationship to the whole.
Since my teenage years I used to read and devour anything related to philosophy, spirituality and esotericism. Years after, I entered my first Yoga class and felt a sense of self-compassion and physical and energetic alignment that I never knew to be possible. It felt as if a big knot at the center of my being softened just enough for me to catch a glimpse of all the possibilities dormant within me.
From there I've spent many years non-dogmatically exploring different traditions in the Yoga landscape and studying under different mentors, slowly cultivating the most important of relationships: the one to the inner teacher.
I have trained extensively in the traditional Hatha Yoga lineage and have been practicing for over 14 years, taking my first teacher's training in 2015. My love for the practice has gifted me unforgettable experiences, from being immersed in Yogic studies in an ashram in South India to studying Buddhist meditation in the Himalayas. I am constantly humbled and grateful for the way the practice, and all the mentors I have met along the way have shaped my life and guided it towards wholeness. It is my purpose to share the knowledge gained in the hope that it will guide others in their personal path of evolution.
My classes are a contemplative and creative exploration of the whole spectrum of yogic practices. Offering gentle support and guidance to students as they learn how to relate to their body as the seat of awareness and organic intelligence. I encourage practicing in a way that cultivates compassion towards self and others, sensitivity, embodiment and self-enquiry.
My teaching is influenced by the philosophy of Non-dual Kashmir Shaivism and Classical Tantra which tenderly encourage the practitioner to recognize and steep in the experience of innate wholeness and the divinity within.
Following my love for the intersection between eastern spirituality and western psychology I am currently studying Psychology and training in Person-centered and Experiential Psychotherapy.
I am also a student of Cha Dao. Tea has been an important plant teacher who has supported my meditation practice and has guided me deeper into a contemplative life inclined towards reverence, slowness and harmony. I am honoured to be a channel of transmission for this beautiful practice in Greece.
I am currently settled in the city of Patras in Western Greece where I teach regular classes in my local community as well as host women's circles and tea ceremonies.
