Emmy Vasilopoulou

My journey started at the age of 6 when I became a rhythmic gymnastics athlete and soon joined a team and started competing on a national level in Athens, Greece.

After finishing high school, I focused on ballet for 8 years until a knee injury forced me to slow down, and focus on my recovery instead. During this restoration period I was introduced to yoga by my physiotherapist and came to realize how body-friendly it is, as opposed to any kind of sports I’d tried up to that point.

I was so inspired and fascinated that after a few years of practice I traveled to India to attend a Hatha-based Yoga Teacher Training program at The Yoga Institute in Mumbai. Right after finishing my first 200-hour program I returned to my home country, Greece and started teaching.

In Summer 2016 I decided to follow my heart and moved to Los Angeles to teach, enhance my knowledge on Yogic philosophy and further develop my practice.
