After class, we gather on the terrace overlooking the Knuckles Mountain Range to drink Kola Kanda, our homemade herbal beverage. A feast of fruit, pancakes, bread and local dishes are served for breakfast. ​ After breakfast we get ready to depart for the daily activity or you can relax in the gardens and at the pool, overlooking the valley and lake. Lunch is included in all activities or served at the lodge. In the early evening we gather for a yin or restorative yoga class, under the sky that is being colored by the sun setting over the mountain range. For dinner we gather on the mountain-view deck, with an abundance of vegetables and curries served in terracotta clay pots. Remember to save some space for dessert!

Alexandra Sotiropoulou

ελ eng Yoga teachers Athens Greece ​ Antaratma and Alexandra have been partners in Yoga and life since the late '90s. They were both introduced to Yoga at an early age as they were searching for a deeper meaning in this life, something that their immediate environment wasn't able to provide to them. Both being artistic souls and very sensitive found a different form of communication through the practice of Yoga. In the beginning, it was discovering themselves, which is always the main point. But later on, both were encouraged by their teachers to share the practice of Yoga with others. As Ramana Maharshi points out, there are no others, and that understanding becomes clear to them every day as they continue to teach Yoga. Their share common interests, Yoga and music, are those places where they meet, discover themselves and embrace what they find! ​ The teachers guide regular group and private Yoga classes in Athens Greece as well as online Yoga classes, which you can attend despite where you live. Antaratma Theodore Chiotis Antaratma Thodoris Chiotis Antaratma Thodoris Chiotis 1/3 Antaratma Theodore Chiotis was born and raised in Athens, Greece. He started his practice and study of Yoga in 1995, in the system of Satyananda Yoga, with the guidance of Swami Sivamurti Saraswati.​ His first encounter with Yoga happened when a good friend took him to a Satsang. Satsang means to be in the presence of truth and a Master of Yoga. What struck him then and was the reason he got hooked on Yoga, was the singing of Kirtan. There, he witnessed the release that happens when people sing and dance together, using mantras and music. ​That was the very beginning of his journey. He immediately enrolled in weekly Yoga classes, practically transforming himself. Yoga became his life. His life became Yoga. Later on, he committed to his Sadhana (spiritual practice). His journey then took another turn, where the desire to uplift and realize himself was rooted even deeper.​ It wasn't until 1999 that he enrolled in Yogic studies 1. This decision didn't come out of an ambition to become a teacher. It was the encouragement of his teachers that took him forward. The Instructor's s training course in the system of Satyananda Yoga followed in 2000. Antaratma has been leading Yoga classes, workshops & Yoga retreats for students and instructors since then. Antaratma is an artist and a musician. His relationship with sound began when he was only eight years old when he started studying classical guitar. Music plays a big part in his life. The very practice of Yoga allows him to dive into sound deeper than before. ​In the early years of his Yoga journey in 1998, he began composing and singing Kirtan, which belongs to the branch of Nada Yoga (Yoga of the sound) and Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of the heart). It is a powerful way to express and connect with the Self. The first thing that attracted him to that first Satsang is the same thing that drives him to this day. The attraction for sound and the magic that derives from it. Muktitara (Alexandra Sotiropoulou) Alexandra Sotiropoulou was born and raised in Athens, Greece. She began practising Yoga in 1996, in the system of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Derek Ireland and Kristina Karytinou in the Practice Place, in Southern Crete. That was the beginning of a lifelong journey for her. She was almost immediately relieved from physical and psychological pain. She still recalls the first downward-facing dogs she practised and understands how people feel when they first start practising. It is a combination of pain and pleasure that profoundly shapes the body-mind. Soon after she met Theodore, he took her to Satyanandashram in Paiania, Greece. There she came across the Sannyasa way of living and started visiting and getting involved in Karma Yoga. ​In 2002 she enrolled in Yogic studies 1 of the Satyananda Yoga system. She completed two teacher's training courses in Astanga Vinyasa Yoga, with Kristina Karytinou (2003) and David Swenson in Scotland (2005). In 2007 she attended and completed the Instructor's Training Course (2007) in Satyanandashram Hellas

I have always been a life coach, but it wasn’t until last five years ago that I did it formally. I remember as far back as high school, people would come to me for advice, motivation and an alternative perspective. I have been going ever since. Throughout my life, I have had some outstanding mentors who have helped me personally, professionally and spiritually – constantly reminding me of what was possible for my life, regardless of the circumstance. My life is dedicated to returning that power."
