I was born in Athens and at an early age, I discovered my true love for yoga. I originally studied a 200hr Hatha Yoga teacher training course ( Heiron Kentavros )- ( 2007 – 2008), then a 100hr Anusara Yoga training course with Todd Tessen, Sianna Sherman, Naime Jezzeny, Sue Elkind, and Douglas Brooks. I continued with a 300hr Yoga teacher training, Vedansha, Rishikesh, India. I attended several seminars at many yoga schools in order to gain more experience.

My love for kids motivated me to study 300hr Diploma-Yogakids International U.S.A. and 320hr Specialization Rainbow Yoga Teacher Training- Tuscan, Italy. (Yoga for kids, conception, pregnancy, postnatal, babies, adults, family, menstruation, therapy, seniors and partners). Since then, I have been teaching yoga to adults and kids, at schools, yoga studios, and holistic centers.

I am organizing and teaching international, Yoga Teacher training courses (200hr and 95hr Yoga kids) certified by Yoga Alliance U.S.A. and Yoga Professionals UK.

In January 2014 I founded the Yoga Family Violet Alignment system. In 2015, my first collection of folktales “Yoga and folktales” was published by the Academy of poetry and folktales in Athens, Greece and in 2021 by Ontime books In english languange.

In 2018 Sophia Kritikou (Psychologist – special education teacher) and I created the SoFo project, peer teaching in yoga practices for empowerment and self-regulation development which is a program related to Yoga for special needs, and was awarded the second prize by the EPR organization. (2019)
