Maria Milidoni

Maria, currently 47 years old is a Michigan University English literature graduate with further studies in C.I.T. Toronto Canada, who currently lives in Nuremberg, Germany.

She is also a novelist, author and is currently studying to become a Holistic Health Instructor (HHP).

She is a single mother and lives with her 2 sons, George and Orpheas.

She has suffered from severe, persistent asthma and various types of allergies, anxiety disorder and panic attacks for more than 30 years.

Excessive use of asthma medications, a frequent use of the emergency department, the significantly reduced quality of life and performance at work, eventually led to depression.

She quit her job and started looking for a solution.
Most of the time she spent researching was dedicated to finding complementary and alternative asthma treatments, most of which unfortunately provided short- term relief. Frustrated, she accidentally came across the Buteyko Method and what caught her attention was the fact that this one was a 100% non drug treatment Method!!!

Fully dedicated to the method, with conscious focus on her breathing, it took her less than 6 months to recover.
Within the first 3 months of practicing, her coughing and wheezing disappeared.
Most importantly, anxiety panic attacks and depression disappeared!!
In the words of Andrew Solomon:””The opposite of depression is not happiness. It’s vitality!””. That’s what asthma and depression patients lack- the vitality, the drive to do something everyday, the desire to step out of the numbness.
“”I am grateful to have regained my Vitality, my Breath, my Life!
I am indebted and thankful to Dr. Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko for his great discovery!

Driven by gratitude, I decided to study the Buteyko method in order to help individuals who suffer from all chronic diseases caused by the Hyperventilation Syndrome.

Many physicians believe that the Hyperventilation Syndrome is invariably associated with anxiety or undiagnosed organic disease such as asthma or other respiratory diseases.

Ancient Greek thought early posited a connection between breath and life. The notion that wind or breath- “Pneuma”- accounted for the functions of living things persisted in philosophical and medical accounts of organisms, sometimes alongside the notion of an immaterial soul or “psyche”.

The Buteyko method teaches you how to breathe right, how to breathe consciously, how to master your Spirit, how to know yourself and eventually Love yourself.
It promotes mental health and self- healing.
Once health is restored, happiness, the will to live, and purpose are regained.
This is what I am here to help you with.
Know yourself, Love yourself! “”

(Maria teaches groups, individuals, families, athletes, singers and whoever wishes to achieve a state of optimal health and well being .)
She also holds Skype sessions for international clients in Greek, English and German.

Anastasis Tzanis

From Greece to New York to London – Anastasis serviced the Greek Special Forces as a paratrooper for 1 year, traded currency derivates in New York and London for 7 years and picked up a couple of other dopamine-driven hobbies along the way. During his years in banking he noticed how detrimental stress can be on our bodies – leading to stiffness, early ageing and injury.

This led him to begin his yoga practice and studies in nutritional therapy in 2009 where he developed a wellness protocol different from everyone else. Through a combination of both traditional and innovative yoga modalities paired with the fundamentals of breathwork, Anastasis has created a holistic experience modelled bio-individuality for each of his client’s personal needs and goals.

His greatest influences are leading experts such as Patrick McKeown & Wim Hof, which led him to his awardance as a top yoga teacher in London by AboutTime magazine (in 2017), teaching the breathing module at the HotPod Yoga Teacher’s Training (since 2018) and leading the wellness offsite for the Crisis Management team of Apple (in 2019). Anastasis strives to provide his clients : individuals as well as companies, with an achievable, individualised plan and full-time, reliable support throughout its implementation.

Tiligada Nikoletta

My name is Tiligada Nikoletta and I am amazed by simplicity and immediacy. I studied surveying engineer at the University, continued with postgraduate studies and stayed in this field for 8 years. A dramatic event in 2006 shoved me to holistic approach and the fascinating discovery of words and concepts such as holistic approach and respiratory education. Those were fields unknown until then and rather disputed by my mathematical mind.  Today, after many certifications, trainings, seminars and studies, I have become a respiratory education professional and I have the honor to support people through personal or group sessions. Ι am the administrator at Anapneusis (Center for Innovative Health Education Programs for Children and Adults) and originator of eurythmia breathwork (significantly powerful and effective breathwork technique). My intention is to provide high quality respiratory education services and my motivation is respect and admiration for the abilities of human, the awareness that human health depends on the harmonious coexistence of body, mind and spirit. My internal commitment is constant training and vigilance.

Stress and anxiety management, Immune system function, Sleep quality, Respiratory conditions, Hormonal disorders, Metabolism, Skin and gastrointestinal disorders, Chronic pains, Allergies, Autoimmune conditions, Body posture, Depression, Ability to concentrate, Self-confidence and self-management skills, Self – awareness, Athletic performance, Fatigue etc are frequent conditions which encourage people to have sessions.

Raffaella Valentini

Since her degree in Sociology, 2001, Raffaella’s worked in Human Resources Management, Italy, for about 20 years, learning a lot about chronic stress, starting from her own, and Phisiology.
Meanwhile, she was making the first steps into the Yoga path that she’s walking since a decade now, fascinated by the intimate relationship between the ancient wisdom’s techniques of Self realization and the contemporary neuroscience latest findings.
The essential, foundational, main access passcode, in both Easter and Western “traditions”, is through the Breath.
Through a somatic awereness of the Breath and reeducating our Breathing.

Since her very first training in India, in the lineage of T.K.V Desikachar, she never stopped practicing, studying and teaching Yoga (RYT500), focusing on the Body-Mind interrelated processes and patterns, through conscious breathing and movements; deeply inspired by Somatic Experiencing, Body Mind Centering and Hanna Somatics theories and practices. She firmly believes in the human natural bodily Intelligence as a direct and primary way toward a gradual and granular interoception and proprioception of ourselves.

She recently moved to spend her life in Nature rhythm’s with her partner and their animals, in Greece, where she’s now offering gentle and fluid Hatha Yoga and Pranayama courses.

She is now happy to integrate the Buteyko Method, during her private or small group’s classes.
Students will be guided to explore, thanks to a somatic self-inquiries approach, their own perceptions of the Breath, of the Breath moving the Body, bringing them back to a central ever renewable source of Self awareness..
A journey inward, to expand outward.

Yinside Yoga Studio, Somaticamente Yoga, is a gentle yet strengthening somatic approach for a centered Body.

Yinside Yoga Studio, Somaticamente Yoga, è un delicato ed altrettanto fortificante approccio verso un Corpo centrato.
Dalla Laurea in Sociologia 2001, Raffa lavora nel settore Risorse Umane, in Italia, per circa 20 anni, imparando a conoscere lo stress cronico e la fisiologia, affacciandosi gradualmente alla Pratica dello Yoga, affascinata dall’intima e sempre più manifesta relazione tra le più antiche tecniche di auto-realizzazione e le ultime evidenze delle Neuroscienze.
L’essenziale, fondante, comune chiave di accesso, è il Respiro. Attraverso una consapevolezza somatica del Respiro e attraverso una rieducazione ad una respirazione funzionale.
Dal suo primo corso di formazione in India, nel lignaggio Desikachar, ha continuato a praticare, studiare ed insegnare Yoga (RYT500), focalizzandosi su processi e sui modelli biderezionali Corpo-Mente, utilizzando tecniche Yoga di respirazione consapevole e tecniche del Movimento.
Raffaella si ispira in particolar modo alle teorie e pratiche di Somatic Experiencing, Body Mind Centering ed Hanna Somatics: crede fermamente che il Corpo possieda una propria e naturale Intelligenza, strumento e veicolo verso un graduale e granulare processo di Interocezione e Propriocezione.

Attualmente si trova in Grecia, dove propone personalizzati percorsi di Hatha Yoga gentile e fluido.
Integrando il metodo Buteyko ed utilizzando alcuni dei suoi esercizi fondanti, nelle sue classi, private o piccoli gruppi, gli studenti sono accompagnati ad esplorare, grazie ad un approccio somatico di auto indagine, le loro stesse Percezioni sul proprio respiro, sul Respiro che muove il corpo, riconducendole ad un’unica Fonte centrale in continuo rinnovamento.
Un viaggio che muove all’interno, verso l’esterno.

Η Κατερίνα Τέμπου έχει σπουδάσει οικονομικά και εφαρμοσμένη πληροφορική, είναι συλλέκτης εμπειριών, επιτυχημένη επιχειρηματίας, αθλήτρια και αναζητά την γνώση με σκοπό την αυτοπραγμάτωση.

Ένα σοβαρό πρόβλημα υγείας την έστρεψε στην έρευνα για την ευζωία, την συναισθηματική ανθεκτικότητα και την ενδυνάμωση, στα πλαίσια της οποίας μελέτησε φυσιολογία, ανατομία και ψυχολογία, από την οποία δεν θα μπορούσε να λείπει φυσικά η ενασχόληση της με την αναπνοή.

Σύντομα θέλησε να εντρυφήσει στην τέχνη της αναπνοής, αποκτώντας το πτυχίο Buteyko και σε συνδυασμό με άλλες σημαντικές γνώσεις κατάφερε να αναπτύξει μία μέθοδο αυτογνωσίας και συναισθηματικής ενδυνάμωσης για τα παιδιά.

Η αγάπη της για την φύση και τα ζώα ξεκίνησε από όταν ήταν παιδί και από τότε εργάζεται διαρκώς για να συνδέσει τους πάντες γύρω της με την φυσική ομορφιά του πλανήτη μας και να τους εμπνεύσει να τη διατηρήσουν.

Προσδοκά να μοιραστεί τη γνώση της με όσα περισσότερα παιδιά μπορεί ελπίζοντας να πολλαπλασιαστούν οι καλές πράξεις για ένα βιώσιμο και ειρηνικό κόσμο. «Τα παιδιά είναι το μέλλον, είναι η πιο σίγουρη επένδυση και θα πόνταρα τα πάντα σε αυτό» θα την ακούσετε πολύ συχνά να λέει.
