Sofia Xirotyri started practicing Gymnastics at the age of 7 and acrobatic gymnastics at the age of 18. She competed and won served Hellenic Championships. She became part of the Greek National Aerobic Gymnastics Team and was recognized in several European and World Championships. She left the competitive world at the age of 30 and that’s when her journey with Ashtanga Yoga began, with her teacher Savvas Giantsis. She started practicing daily and in 2010 she traveled to India for the very first time. She then continued to grow her knowledge through many seminars (with Kino Mc Gregor, Laruga Glaser, Taric Tamic). She then traveled to New York and completed her Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training at Atmananda Yoga Studio with her teacher, John Tamayo. Meanwhile, she practiced daily with Eddie Stern and also took classes with Dharma Mittra. In 2011, she went to London and took classes with Sharath Jois, which led her to the decision to travel to Mysore, India. The yearly trips and her long stays at Mysore, became part of her life. In January of 2014, she became an authorized level 2 teacher from KPJAYI and her teacher in India, Sharath Jois. In 2016, she took a Special Course for teachers at KPJAYI in Mysore with teacher Sharath Jois. Since then, she participates in many seminars from her favorite teachers but also friends from all corners of the world. She still visits her Ashtanga Yoga school in Mysore. Daily practice, trips to Mysore and the Yoga Community are a constant source of inspiration for her. Her need to share her love for yoga led her to open One Soul Yoga Studio! It is a source of great happiness for her to communicate and transmit her knowledge to everyone who loves to practice yoga.

Nikos Gouvousis started practicing yoga systematically in 2020.

His first contact was with Rocket Yoga classes and he quickly fell in love with this style of yoga that combines strength and flow, and leads to deep relaxation and calmness. Now his weekly practice consists of a combination of Rocket and Dharma Yoga classes. Without any background in any other field of gymnastics, but with patience, discipline and consistency, he has managed with daily practice to develop your practice in a short period of time, seeing great changes in his flexibility, strength, as well as his mental and spiritual health.

In ’21-’22 he completed his first instructor (200h) in Hatha & Vinyasa (certified by Yoga Alliance), while he has already completed the first 150 hours of the next instructor of 300h (YA), both in Balilo under the guidance of Rebecca Gogou, who remains his teacher to this day and is largely responsible for his development, both as a practitioner and as a teacher.

In June 2023, Nikos traveled to Barcelona where he was trained in Rocket Yoga by David Kyle (50h YA), becoming certified to teach this style of yoga. His goal is to complete more hours of training in this style.

At the same time he has accumulated more than 50 hours of CE training with Jason Crandell, specializing in sequencing, teaching beginners and Yoga Anatomy, and 20 hours with Carmen Aguilar (Cyoga). He reads and is constantly updated and continues to delve into the different parts of the yoga path (philosophy, meditation, pranayama, asana, anatomy, teaching).

He teaches Vinyasa, Rocket and Hatha yoga.

She developed a daily practice and study of Asthanga Vinyasa Yoga at the Ashtanga Yoga Athens Shala where she completed her training on the Primary Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

Meditation and Pranayama has been added to her every day practice.

Zazen and Misogi Harai practice has led her to attend 5-day Sesshins and focus even more on the internal parts of yoga.

She is a Certified Reiki practitioner and continues to expand her knowledge and experience in energy healing practices.

Always trying to evolve within a beginner’s mind she attends workshops around the world with important teachers on all aspects of yoga enriching her own experience and teaching.

Focusing on what she believes are the basic parts of yoga, her classes focus on exploring Pranayama, Asanas and Meditation encouraging each practitioner to search and evolve through their own practice.
