Vana Alexopoulou

Being an active person, I am on ballet and contemporary dance since an early age. I have years of experience in performing, as a dancer (also familiar with Flamenco and African dance). I am practicing bodily awareness techniques like Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais and Yoga. Keeping a holistic approach in my life, made me accomplish various courses of massage, aromatherapy and reflexology. I am an open person, that loves art and such as I am also a fimmaker. I have gained experience to deal in a variety of work environments and this has given me the ability to collaborate easily.

As a Pilates Instructor, I have experience in one-to-one sessions, as well as in groups. I like to help my students understand how to listen to their own body and learn how to love it more day by day. In my classes , I am instructing my students and showing them the optimal methods and techniques, in order to make the class helpful and beneficial.
