Marilou started practicing from a very early age at about 2002, next to inspiring yoga teachers in Greece and abroad. In 2006 she started working for ‘Shantom House of Culture’, where she also participated in practical and theoretical workshops with Leda Shantala, one of the first traditional hatha yoga teachers in Greece.
Following the desire to deepen her understanding of the yogic philosophy and always guided by her beloved teacher, in 2010 she completed her first teacher training (RYT 200hr) at the Sivananda Vedanta Centre in Tyrol and in 2013 she completed the advanced teacher training (RYT 500hr) at Ghyta Yoga School (both centres accredited by yoga alliance international).
Feeling the continuous need to enrich her knowledge, she participates in classes, workshops and trainings with many wonderful teachers that guide her along her path until the present day (Michalis Filinis, Alessandro Ortona, Ephrat Michelson, Ana Forrest, Angela Farmer, Kevin Gardiner, Erika Repassy, Christina Matsi etc).
Over the last years she was naturally drawn to the Iyengar way, participating in classes and workshops regularily with some of the most experienced Iyengar instructors in Greece (Zoi Gaitanidou, Konstantinos Giannetakis etc). Her asana practice has grown in depth particularly through the Iyengar system, which also provided inspiration and essential details in sharing her understanding of the teachings with others.
