YOUR YOGA CLASSES
Our yoga classes offer a sanctuary for both body and mind. Through gentle asana practice, you'll cultivate strength, flexibility, and balance, while fostering a deeper connection to your inner self. Each class lasts 75 minutes and takes place at the rooftop yoga shala with a stunning 360° views of both sunrise and sunset.
In addition to physical postures, our yoga sessions incorporate meditation techniques to quiet the chatter of the mind and invite inner peace. Through guided meditation and breathwork, you'll learn to cultivate a sense of serenity that extends far beyond the yoga mat, allowing you to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and clarity.

ELENA KOKKALA
Meet Elena, an experienced instructor in yoga and movement since 2016, and acro yoga since 2018. She is a graduate of The Acro Way training. Her approach to AcroYoga is deeply rooted in understanding the nuances of different bodies and how they can harmonize in practice. Guided by the principles of curiosity, consistency, fun, and patience, Elena's aim is to imbue each participant, whether base or flyer, with a sense of joy and accomplishment.
She believes that the key to achieving this lies in fostering an environment where playfulness and enjoyment are paramount, complemented by deliberate movements synchronized with breath. For Elena, the ultimate goal is to ensure everyone leaves the session feeling invigorated and triumphant in their roles.
Beyond the practice, you'll find Elena in her favorite activities—hiking with her whippet dog, exploring the surroundings, and sharing meals with friends.
