Hello, my name is Mikaela and I would love to practice with you. But first let me introduce myself. I was born and raised in Corfu, Greece. I studied Corporate Communications and Languages in Paris and then lived in Latin America for a while where I was introduced to Yoga in 2015.

Fun fact, the first time I tried Yoga I hated it. Yet, I gave it another chance and by discovering different styles and teachers I started falling in love with it. So if you're new to it, just give it a go. You may discover a new passion of yours. A great way to go within, to nurture your mind, body and soul.

After traveling around Asia for couple of years and practicing with various great teachers, I am now a Yoga Alliance certified Vinyasa teacher. I got certified at the Traditional Yoga Institute, Samyak Yoga in Mysore, India, under the guidance of Yogacharya Rakesh. My desire to broaden my knowledge, led me to study Yin Yoga and receive my certification at Yoga Union in Bali, Indonesia. I also explored Power Yoga by attending a Sophisticated Sequencing Training Program by Paul Teodo and Byron de Marse in Bali, Indonesia.

After Covid, I returned to Greece and decided to bring my passion for Yoga to my second home, Paxos, a magical island where I spent countless summers of my childhood. The serene environment and the soothing energy of Paxos, make it an ideal place to practice Yoga, slow down and go within. Practicing here inspired me to create a space where I could share all that with others. That’s the short story of how Paxos Yoga Shala was born.

I can’t wait to have you join me here, or anywhere else on this serene island. My classes are open to all levels as I always adapt to the needs and wishes of each student. Every session is unique and allows me to learn from you as well. Are you more athletic and want to sweat? Power Yoga. Do you enjoy a good stretch and slow movements? Yin is for you. Want to link breath and movement? Vinyasa!

By booking a Yoga class you choose to take a you-moment. To be fully present here and now. Isn’t that the best way to truly enjoy your holidays?
