Contemporary dance / barre workout & mobility / movement & improvisation
Are you interested in learning the fundamentals of contemporary dance while also gaining a deeper insight into your own personal movement style, working on the mobility and flexibility of the body and learning to express yourself in your own unique way?
I offer classes in three different areas:
(there is of course the possibility of tailoring the lesson combining elements of all three classes, depending on the needs and wishes of the student)
1. Contemporary dance
Lesson description: We will learn the basic skills of contemporary dance (release technique) and floorwork, improve mobility and learn choreographic sequences and soft acrobatics. The classes are structured around a dynamic warm-up and strengthening, mobilization of the muscles and activation of the core, the spine and the limbs. Engaging in floorwork exercises, the focus is on gaining control of our weight, on moving with flow and continuity without excessive muscular force and on saving energy and avoiding injuries. We will learn basic skills and soft acrobatics (shoulder rolls, spiral rolls, floor spins, knee slides, handstands). During the end of the lesson, we create a choreography sequence and cool- down with relaxation and stretching exercises.
Benefits: body awareness, reduced stress, improved balance & coordination, flexibility, core strength, self - expression, boost of energy & confidence
2. Dance condition (workout/barre/fitness)
Lesson Description: The purpose of the course is to teach essential tools in order for students to enhance flexibility and strength, body awareness and coordination. The lesson starts with a warm-up of guided improvisation to music. We continue with short barre exercises. We make use of conditioning, strengthening and coordination, barre workout and balance exercises. The lesson aims to improve the body's range of motion, flexibility, stability, and overall functional movement. Through guided exercises the students learn how to enhance their physical fitness and prevent injuries. Every lesson ends with a cool-down.
Benefits: enhanced creativity and spontaneity, confidence and relaxation, reduced stress, body awareness
3. Movement & improvisation
Lesson description: The purpose of the lesson is for students to explore their personal movement and their compositional skills, to feel comfortable with spontaneous movement and enhance body awareness and creativity through movement. We will start with a warm-up of guided improvisation and some short warm-up exercises to prepare for the lesson. We will make use of improvisational techniques to train our awareness and responsiveness, to learn how to incorporate flow and effortlessness to our movement in order to prevent injuries and we will use music and sound as tools to expand our movement vocabulary and free our body of stress, forms and stiffness. The lesson is also suitable for actors/ performers or dancers of all levels and styles who wish to expand their movement language and return to basics in order to explore anew their bodies' possibilities from different perspectives.
Each lesson lasts one hour.
All lessons are suitable for all levels (beginner - intermediate - advanced).
All lessons are tailored to the needs and wishes of students.
Water and a small towel (optional).

About Me
I am a freelance performer and dance educator from Greece. I started dancing when I was only 5 years old and since then I haven't stopped! I am trained in ballet and contemporary dance and I hold a Master's degree from the University of Utrecht in Contemporary Theater, Dance & Dramaturgy.For the last six years I have been offering lessons and workshops in different dance schools and institutions in Greece and the Netherlands. I am very much in love with floorwork and soft acrobatics and always try to incorporate them in my exercises and chorographies! At the same time, I like to focus on the expressive and theatrical aspects of dancing and performing and I base my lesson around improvisational techniques which bring forward the students' own personal expression and movement.
I have worked as a movement director in theatre and films and as a choreographer in educational performances (collaborations with: National Theatre of Northern Greece, Thessaloniki Concert Hall, Ancient Theatre of Dion, Stedelijk Museum, Sounding Here Festival Rotterdam). I have also worked as a performer for many collectives and companies in Greece and since 2022 I am a founding member of JAVA collectief of international artists based in the Netherlands.

Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:)
Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;)
Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness.
We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives.
Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride!
I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers.
Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly.
So, let's see you on the mat.

200 Hour Multistyle Yoga Teacher and 50 Hour FlyHigh Yoga Teacher / Barre and Pilates instructorYoga is an amazing tool I discovered more than10 years ago. With the help of yoga you will be able to release tensions and emotions that you have been carrying around with you for years. Subsequently, you will make space for new things to unfold in your body and Life! Don’t watch the process happen on other people but start today.
I will guide you with body, mind and spirit into this practice with a lot of asanas. Some women will discover they can leave the medical pill box aside for relieving period cramps for example. Many claim to have found a solution for their anxiety, insomnia or depression.
A mindful practice comes from your own input. As a 200 Hour yoga Teacher and 50 hour FlyHighYoga teacher I will be your guide and coach to embark on your journey with a variety of purposes - be it weight loss, toning, relieving stress, controlling emotions, going through a difficult phase in life, curing pain and symptoms, staying in shape, improving flexibility or practicing to become a professional.We will do different asanas in conjunction with the phases of the moon. Additionally, I work with breathing - the power of breathing is an add-on to your yoga practice. With the control of your breath you can actually turn off the mind when it’s spinning - this will give you clarity. Nonetheless, it’s a very powerful way to cleanse your airways and lungs. The lungs fight pathogens on a daily basis - but have you ever wondered when you actually cleanse them ?
I am an experienced and certified teacher with over 150 hours in teaching in studios and University facilities. I can teach one on one classes but also groups up to 50 people. My practice is dedicated and adapted to my students. I focus on getting the best out of everyone, mostly having fun and feeling great during and after class.
