Stelios teaches Traditional Tantric Hatha Yoga for students from all levels exploring advanced options. His classes are designed to help his students feel refreshed, calm and deeply present in love with having a greater experience of life. His classes build heat in a grounded and calm manner to avoid overstimulating the mind, whilst purifying and enlivening the body. He incorporates slower, mindful and dynamic movement using breath counts and body attention in each posture. His classes are built through the lens of Tantra and Ayurveda to enliven and harmonise the bodies energetic and elemental makeup. He achieves this through adjusting his classes daily according to various components of weather/season/culture. Stelios activates the body using Mantras, Pranayama, Asana and Bandha to give a complete experience of Traditional Yoga.
