EveryBody Yoga class was inspired and first taught by Gogo Davanelou at Spiti Yoga. The motivation behind it was the teacher\u2019s personal need to follow adjusted positions during her own practice due to her body type. As she firmly believes that extra body weight is not enough reason for anyone not to do what they love, she tried, and still does, to seek ways to overcome physical barriers.<\/p>

It is a Hatha flow yoga class, with Pranayama, Flow sequencing, and a rather long Savasana. During the class, importance is given on clear instructions, proper body posture and the gradual personal development of each student. As the practice progresses, breathing and flow of the movement become more important, endurance and flexibility increase, balance is built.<\/p>

EveryBody Yoga class addresses people of all body types, whether they are working out or not, have practiced yoga before or not. People who – incorrectly – believe that yoga applies to a specific audience, and who feel uncomfortable exercising along with others because of their appearance.<\/p>

Gogo Davanelou was born and raised in Lamia in June 1980, left at 19 for Athens\u2019s sake, moved to Montpellier for a couple of years, and then returned back. She has studied translation (Greece, U.K, France) specializing in children\u2019s literature which she particularly loves, and translates medical and pharmaceutical texts out of which she makes a living.<\/p>

She and yoga first met when, out of pure curiosity and for fun, she tried Aerial Yoga. After bursting into tears during savasana for no apparent reason, she felt that \u201csomething weird is going on here\u201d and decided to do it again.<\/p>

She hasn\u2019t stopped since. She has been practicing Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga through the years and tries in her power to overcome the various obstacles that her own body poses.<\/p>

Although she does not believe in owning Certificates that much, she certainly believes in the knowledge provided by education: Gogo is a certified Yoga teacher (200 RYT Yoga Alliance) from Namaha Yoga School with teachers Jonni-Lyn Friel and Todd Tesen (2017), as well as a Thai massage certification holder (ITM Level 1 & 2) with teachers George Androulakis and Thalia Ragkousi (2018). Several more trainings and seminars on yoga philosophy and asana contribute to her knowledge.<\/p>

The way she approaches yoga teaching stems largely from the difficulties she encounters in her own practice, from the occasional frustration caused by obstacles she has to overcome in comparison to \u201ceasier\u201d bodies, from her innate quality of taking care of people around her. Her original source of inspiration was overweight people who feel uncomfortable practicing yoga, who feel inadequate, and who, in the end, often never do so. She also felt that this concerns many people whose body image has been hampered by various prejudices.<\/p>

Should there be just one thing she\u2019d like to tell to her students (and often to herself) that would be: \u201cTry, do what you can and don\u2019t get mad at your body.\u201d Oh, and \u201clet go during savannah\u201d!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
