ABOUT SAMOS YOGA SHALA
MARO GEORGATOU
I live on the island of Samos from 2005 with my husband and two children. I come from Athens where I met my teacher and started to practise Yoga from 2000. Since then I have come to love it more and more every day. I took my first short training in Hatha Yoga in 2004 (Athens) by Periklis Christodoulopoulos before I left the city. In 2014 I was trained in Mysore, India in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga as taught by Pathabi Jois as well as in Prenatal Yoga the same period. I have attended many seminars and workshops by teachers from all over the world and completed my Children’s yoga training (Yoga Beez) by Bryony Duckit in 2015. I also have a degree in Economics (2001) and Education (1998).
