My name is Melina I come from Athens-Greece
and this is my story..
Ashtanga Yoga Tutorials
During the last couple of years of COVID-19 seclusion and after the persistent urge from my students, the ideal opportunity finally arose to focus on filming a series of Tutorials dedicated to the Primary Series of the Ashtanga Yoga Practice.The Shala
Ashtanga Yoga Kifisia is a space dedicated to the teaching of the Ashtanga Yoga method, as taught under the lineage of Shri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois..
Our Shala is our temple, a place to let go, meditate, re-charge & bloom like early flowers in spring..
Program
Mysore Self Practice is the traditional way in which the Ashtanga practice is taught from teacher to student, in an unbroken lineage from Sri T. Krishnamacharya to now. In a Mysore class every student works to his/her own time & space, according to his/her experience & understanding of the practice.
