Welcome! My name is Eleni.
I am a Kundalini Global Yoga Teacher, Somatic Therapist in training, Reiki Healer (2nd degree), a singer / songwriter and my pronouns are: she and her.
My life journey!
From a young age I tried to belong, tried to fit into moulds that had nothing to do with my own shape. To exist in worlds that were inhospitable to my own taste and still, many times, I tried to fit in. I tried so hard to fit in..
At times, it would feel as if my clothes couldn’t bear me anymore, my flesh didn't fit me and I just wanted to leave my body to stay away from it all. I often hated myself for not being able to make it, not being able to change who I was.
Yet, I found the strength to stay and fight. I fell many times, but thankfully I always stood up.
Over the years, I realised that what you are, whatever this is, is your gift. The more curious and different you are, the more creative you can make the world around you. I also realised that what you go through can help you see the world from a different perspective -that of protectiveness and empathy. Understanding that you are here not to become famous or big, but you are in this world to offer, help and create. And that's what will make you really happy.
Western society teaches us that we always have to run, to strive to have it all and to be superhuman on the altar of money, "success" and "perfection." And we finally forget who we truly are, why we came to this world and what makes us really happy.
I'm not perfect, and I don't believe there's perfection in the way that many define it. Like the popular saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. On the contrary, mistakes, difficulties, falls are what make you just understand others, maybe feel their pain and their truth.
My classes are for everyone and I teach through the lens of a human being rather than that of perfection. We're not machines, we're not super heroes (at least not the way society demands), so we don't have to be flexible, or spiritual, or Super Wow! The only thing we need to have is a body and your magic mat/carpet or something soft to lie on!
You are welcome to come in with all your anxieties, phobias, all your doubts, all your darkness and we will discover together a way to experience a few minutes of peace and quiet in this seemingly complex world!
Because yes, we can change how we feel.
