The Instructor - Eleni
Eleni, a born Corfiot, embarked on her yoga journey in 2012, motivated by a desire to transform traits and habits that hindered her personal growth. Driven by this inner calling, she felt compelled to explore yoga further in India, a life-changing experience she pursued over three extended visits. In India, she learned under the guidance of esteemed local teachers, participating in training courses and workshops to enhance both her personal and teaching practice. By 2014, she founded the Mysore yoga school, nurturing a community that offers daily classes for adults. Additionally, Eleni organizes yoga retreats on Corfu, where she leads sessions or invites esteemed teachers from around the globe, striving to share yoga’s philosophy with a broader audience.
The Yoga-School - Mysore Yoga
Founded in 2014, the Mysore yoga school emerged from the desire to create a community where yoga is accessible to everyone. Here, yoga is embraced as an alternative lifestyle, guiding each individual not only towards personal evolution but also towards enhanced self-observation, ultimately leading to improvement and a more fulfilling daily life.
Through the practice of yoga, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves both internally and externally, gradually equipping us to make the essential changes needed to restore balance to our habits and eliminate anything that distances us from our higher selves. Find out more online:
