was born in Athens where she started her contemporary
dance education which she continued in Brussels. In 2006
she graduated from P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts, Research
and Training Studios), the school of Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker.
Through PARTS she was introduced to Yoga, a practice that
gradually grew into her heart. Theodossia sees yoga as
a profound way to cleanse the body and the mind and to
connect with the divine nature within.
Her love and trust towards yoga took her to India two
times, once to an Ashtanga ashram of the Shivanda tradition,
outside the holy city of Nasik and once in the Ramamani
Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune.
She teaches in Greece and Brussels since 2005.
Through yoga, Theodossia wishes to contribute to the health,
flexibility, strength and balance in body and mind and
to the peace and clarity of spirit in her students but
also to the deepening of her own practice and learning
process.
