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.

SLEEP- The only thing that I miss in my life is the state of DEEP SLEEP..
Deep continuous night sleep is a state of rest that I haven’t experienced since many many years, long before perimenopause..
-
I usually don’t mind, but during the last week, after 2 and a half months of endless working hours, no days-off and super high temperatures, practice is not always enough to recharge my batteries..
Today it was one of there days.. Heavy as an elephant..
•
No matter what, I feel blessed on my blessed mat every single day @_weareblessed ..
Sunday, rest day..
•
By the way, are you sleeping well at night?
Olga @olgakokthi does for sure..😀

50 years old and I can say for sure Life has been good to me up to this day..
•
Is it because I chose to live it this way, is it because of pure luck, is it because of Karma, fate, destiny?
I don’t know and it doesn’t really matter anyway..
It is what it is..
•
What matters to me the most is that if I had the opportunity to turn time back and start from the beginning, I wouldn’t change a thing..
•
And yes, the first 50 deserve a trophy when accomplished!!
An immense thank you to my beloved sister and greatest artist I know @mariantelman @the.mamalians for the handcrafted clay trophy she handed to me, an iconic gift, representing all what female nature means & feels like..
•
I feel so fortunate for the family I have, who gather every year to be with me, let me upload photos for that day only and know that they love me dearly even-though I am the one to blame for everything that happens on earth.. 😂😂😂
•
Above all, I thank Life for my practice, for the gift of Ashtanga yoga that keeps me tolerant, healthy, strong in my body & my mind and gives me the drive to be the best part of me, wherever that is..
•
To be continued..

-YOGA is the new religion-
Religion should mean a place where people come together, meditate, pray, believe, love, respect, let go & self-heal..
That’s all YOGA is, isn’t it?
-
An unexpected encounter today with a beautiful soul, Dimitris @daydreamer_tso , a fantastic practitioner, teacher and now soul mate, who came from far away to share the energy of this practice in my little blessed yard..
I feel so overwhelmed..
Thank you Dimitris..
Can’t wait for tomorrow..
