My name is Melina I come from Athens-Greece
and this is my story..
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.
SATURDAY, 3rd OCTOBER 2026, 12:00pm–2:30pm, I look forward to welcoming you to talk, analyse, delve deeper, and come to love the magical practice of Ashtanga, understanding the reasons that make it so incomparably unique.
•
We will begin the workshop by discussing the theoretical & philosophical foundations of the practice, and along the way we will talk about deep breathing with sound, the importance of exhalation, the nervous system, the pelvic floor, the perineum, the energy centres in the body (BANDHAS), the internal alignment, the pairs of opposing forces, the point of focus (drsti), and the synthesis of all those elements organically together..
•
We will analyse, step by step, the most important and fundamental movement archetypes of the practice: 1. CATVARI, 2. UPWARD DOG, 3. DOWNWARD FACING DOG, and how these 3 movements define our entire practice, our awareness, and the clear consciousness we gradually build through the repetitive pattern of the practice.
•
As the practice evolves, it brings us closer to our starting point: INHALATION-pause-EXHALATION-pause-MOVEMENT-CONCENTRATION=> TRISTANA => ASHTANGA YOGA
•
I look forward to welcoming you,
