Schedule’s Description

Thursday’s Master class, 19:00-21:00
ATTITUDE Reversal: The upside down perspective!
We will begin our time together by clearing out the old Shakti from our systems by turning our worlds upside down and setting intention to see our current world and lives from a new perspective. Let’s break down old paradigms and look at things anew!

Friday, 16:00-20:00
ALIGNMENT Twist: The full spectrum spiral of your life!
Now that we’ve shaken our foundation, we’ll clear ourselves fully from the inside out with hip openers and twisting poses and step into the new evolutionary spiral our lives. When we twist fully we can see the full spectrum of life, a 360 degree experience, yes!
Following this deep practice we will return to center, to a place of equilibrium. With zen meditation we connect with the one inside who does not move.

Saturday, 10:00-14:00
Full ACTION: The body sings from the Heart!
Through deep shoulder openers and backbends we will unlock the heart so she can speak to us very clearly and be brave enough to step into the shifts we have been longing for. Gandhi said… “Be the change you want to see in the world”… Jesus Christ urged us to let go, forgive, and open the heart to love. Ready for a new change, a radical shift?
After a dynamic practice, we will connect with Hrdya –the spiritual place of the heart, through deep meditation.

Monday: 10:00-14:00
RADICAL CELEBRATION: Let’s get radical and play!
Where is the party? Where is the light? Come home to your true nature. Play, let go of old patterns of negativity, fears, criticism of self and others. Be happy in this moment; turn a new leaf in your life. A dynamic practice session with Potpouri asanas (backbends, arm-balances, inversions, and twists) will help to unlock our full energy. The powerhouse of the inner self can ignite the world; shift our lives into new directions.

(Instruction will be given in Greek with English as needed)

Bio
For Vivi, teaching is a way of sharing the richness of life’s journey.
Anusara Yoga lays the foundation for a healthy body firmly grounded on this earth, and inspires the heart to align with its highest essence.
Zen meditation allows us to be fully in the present moment, with compassion and freedom. For over 20 years Vivi’s practice straddled these two distinct paths of Yoga and Zen. Seeing how they complete each other, she has always sought a way to combine them. Now she invites us to step into a full experience of dynamic asana, conscious pranayama, and zen meditation—the joyful practice of being fully alive.
After living in San Francisco for over 20 years, Vivi and her husband Eraj founded NYSY Studios in 2004, a lively center in the heart of Athens where people meet to practice Yoga and Pilates and find a loving, supportive community. NYSY has become an international favorite for its full schedule of classes, workshops, and retreats.
Since 2005, Vivi has poured her heart into spearheading high caliber teacher training programs in Hatha yoga, Anusara® Yoga, and Pilates. It is her deepest joy to see an ever growing team of excellent teachers, graduating successfully and sharing the rich traditions of yoga and Pilates for a healthier, happier world.
