About Trini Yoga Shala

In Trini Yoga Shala we believe that practising Yoga
is an essential part of everyday life.
In a space we created with lots of love, we teach you how to exercise
your body by using breathing techniques (pranayama) and posture sequences (asana),
and your mind by practising focus and meditation.
By cultivating the flow of energy (prana)
we experience the transformational qualities of Yoga.
Through our practice we learn how to observe, to discover and to evolve,
inside and outside the studio.
Nelly, Margarita and Valia have been friends, yoga partners and co-instructors since 2015, when they started practising vinyasa together. During the last three years they have been organising yoga workshops and retreats together. In 2018 they created a warm space in the centre of Athens where they share their common love for Yoga, their devotion to teaching Yoga and making it accessible to everyone.
