Feedback from our Students

I tried the community Mysore lesson on Saturday during my short stay in Mykonos: best ashtanga experience so far abroad! Peaceful atmosphere, superb and knowledgeable teacher. I can recommend it to every ashtangi, beginners and advanced!

As a beginner there is a lot to learn. But that is no problem, when you are in such good hands and minds offered by Aris, Katerina and Marita. All treated me very kindly, and their very solid and grounded experiences made me progress to the level where I now feel very comfortable with the basic routines of Ashtanga. There is much more to learn - but as long as the basic is present, the experience of your body changes. For the good. I hope to return to the center in the near future.

The best yoga place in Athens. Thank you for your professionalism, dedication and patience !!!! Many greetings from your student of Argentina.

Yoga in Mykonos is an intimate, light-filled shala with a calm and beautiful energy. From my first day, I felt welcomed and at home. Aris and his team are dedicated and professional teachers, but more than that, they are warm and lovely people. The incredible adjustments and encouragement I’ve received since joining have advanced my practice tremendously and I look forward to evolving further with their guidance. Highly knowledgeable instruction and a positive atmosphere, it is a truly wonderful place to practice at any level! Would highly recommend!

I planned the visit to Aris’s shala months ago with my holiday trip and it was beyond expectations. I love practicing while traveling because once in a while you can refresh your Astanga practice, see things differently than usual. Aris is attentive to his students but very strict too, you can’t be “lazy” around him. He has special adjustments that focus on bandhas, making it very tangible. There’s more i could say about his teaching but the best way is you come and experience it yourself.
