Yoga Teacher in London, United Kingdom

Dimitris has been trained in the traditional Ashtanga system under the guidance of Hamish Hendry. He has travelled to India to study and follows a dedicated Mysore style Ashtanga practice.

Trained as a peer counsellor and as a social psychologist, Dimitris found that yoga extends beyond the intensity of the physical practice and its benefits, into a more subtle form of calming and focusing the mind. It can act as a catalyst in replacing long established habits and bring new perspectives into one's life. Having been diagnosed with a degenerative condition affecting the spine has helped him to cultivate a deeper understanding of how the spine works, its limitations and how to softly work with them in order to create the foundations for the healing process to start.

As a result his classes are influenced both by his understanding of the mechanics of movement and the insight the practice can offer. His focus is on creating an environment that can allow students to soften and quieten both the body and the mind.

Dimitris is available for group and private sessions.
