Welcome to Yogasana

I’m Elena, a senior yoga teacher with over a decade of practice and teaching experience. Born in London to Greek parents, I moved back to my hometown shortly after school. Yoga found me in 2009 and everything changed. My first class was an Ashtanga session at a local gym in London. That day, I discovered something profound - a gateway that offered clarity and renewal each time I stepped on the mat. What started as a physical exploration quickly became a daily ritual. The sense of transformation I felt after every session kept drawing me back, and soon yoga became a non-negotiable part of my life.

After three years of dedicated daily Mysore practice, I started exploring other styles. It was through this exploration that I found a lasting connection with the teachings of Stewart Gilchrist (yogasana) and Emi Tull (Dharma yoga) - my spiritual guides to this day.

In 2019, I did my first teacher training in Ashtanga Vinyasa and began teaching group and private classes in London. Seeking to deepen my and teaching approach, I pursued further training in 2020 with Stewart Gilchrist, completing my advanced 500-hour Yogasana certification with him in March 2024. Altogether, I’ve completed over 700 hours of yoga teacher training and a 50-hour sound healing meditation certification with Selda Goodwill in London. 

In 2024, I returned to Athens, where I currently teach group classes at Goya Studio in Kolonaki, I offer private sessions, and retreats. My calling is to share the knowledge passed down from my renowned teachers and their lineages, empowering communities.

My classes are dynamic yet deeply spiritual, blending precise movement with mindful exploration, offering a space for students to reconnect with themselves and grow. I warmly invite you to join me on this transformative journey, whether you’re just stepping onto the mat or seeking to elevate your practice.
