My name is Anastasis, I am co-author of the book “Breathing for Yoga”* and over the last 11 years, through private consultations & +150 workshops I have helped many individuals improve their health.

My background:

After servicing the Greek Special Forces as a paratrooper, trading currency derivatives in New York and London for 7 years, and picking up a couple of other dopamine-driven hobbies along the way; in 2009 I began studying nutritional therapy and yoga. During my time in the army and banking, I noticed how detrimental, operating long-term in a highly competitive environment can be for one’s health.

Teaching:

I teach a non-dogmatic, progressive approach to physical exercise, often combining modalities, depending on my client’s needs. A lot of my clients enjoy weight training, which we use to compliment their bodyweight (ie. yoga, pilates) program.

I am certified in Universal Yoga by Andrey Lappa, AcroYoga by Eugene Poku and Jessica Goldberg, Pilates Mat & Reformer by Body Harmonics and in “modern” breathing methods by Wim Hof and Patrick McKeown with whom I co-facilitate a breathwork teacher’s training.

Consultations:

My aim is to proactively support those battling with chronic disease return to health through nutrition & breathwork. I have experience working with individuals diagnosed with: autoimmune conditions, cancer, infertility, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative conditions (ie. Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s). I don’t work with weight management.

In Jan ’12 I set up a clinic in London with a focus on nutrigenomics.
