Our Yoga Teachers

Constantinos Giannetakis

Constantinos has been practicing Sri BKS Iyengar yoga with passion and consistency since 1992. In 1996, he moved to France where he obtained his degree in clinical psychology at the University of Picardy. At the time, he understood that health is not just the absence of disease, but much more.

In 1999 he moved to London to continue his academic study of psychoanalysis while studying yoga. After returning to Greece in 2003, he opened the first Iyengar yoga center in Athens.

He dedicated his life to yoga and working with the body and mind. He is a certified teacher at the Iyengar School in London. Her meeting with Martine Le Chenic was decisive for the direction of her practice and teaching. At the same time, he practices Taïchi and learns Chinese medicine. He teaches an alignment technique that clarifies the connection between asana and pranayama and particularly the opportunity to understand the mind through the body, nature and breathing.

To regain awareness of your body and verticality, an intensive retreat with Constantinos Giannetakis will allow you to awaken to breathing, to the adjustment of postures on all levels: skeleton, organic, respiratory and energetic.
