Despina has been involved with the study of the human body as a means of expression and self exploration from a young age. As a teenager she began her training in track and field athletics. After a decade of classical and contemporary dance studies, Despina took her first step in teaching “barre a terre” in 1995. Since 2002 she has engaged herself in the lifelong practice of the “Ashtanga Yoga” method under the “KPJAYI” lineage. She has been teaching ashtanga yoga since 2003 and continues her yearly visits to Mysore, India to advance on her studies under the guidance of Sharath Jois. She also holds certifications of teaching the full “Pilates” method and is also a dance therapist. Her classes are a conjunction of all her attained experience of more than thirty years. Each of her class will compliment the activities of the “Greekly” group and will be tailor-made to the participants needs.

Despina communicates in Greek & English.

She loves dancing, savouring good wine and enjoying silence.
