Experience and background

Eugenia began practicing yoga in 2004, as a student of contemporary dance
in Scotland. She gained a Yoga Teacher qualification from the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres in Spain and in 2006 began organizing yoga holidays in Sfakia, Crete. In 2012 she gained the Iyengar yoga teaching certification and is currently living, teaching, and continuing her own training between Athens, Crete
and Rhodes.

Eugenia attends workshops and classes with teachers who continue to inspire her, namely Constantinos Giannetakis, Donna Farhi, Angela Farmer and Martine Le Chenic. Eugenia is also an certified psychologist.
