She has beautifully vibrant energy and she shared her passion for yoga as a healing tool, and as a therapeutic way of getting to know ourselves better and deal with difficulties that arise in our lives.

My conversation with Christina Kyparissa, a yoga teacher from Greece was so intriguing as we talked about yoga as a therapy, as a tool to explore ourselves and to ultimately transform into our better selves. I hope that this conversation made you curious about the therapeutic elements and gifts of yoga, and about what wellness means to you.

What to expect in the Yoga In Greece episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast

Christina came to yoga looking for a non-extreme, non-aggressive way to move her body. She soon realized that yoga is a powerful tool of healing. After she lost her father in 2015, her yoga practice was a place to heal and to learn to acceptance and to find peace. She teaches yoga to give back what she, herself, has gained from the practice.

She wants to give her students the chance to explore themselves in a smooth way, and give them a therapeutic tool. Yoga, as a lifestyle, one of the goals is to be therapeutic so that we can find our higher selves and to actually deal with who we are, and to see ourselves transforming into our better selves.

Through our conversation, Christina shared her wisdom and grace with us while also sharing what yoga in Greece is like and why Greece is a place that has captured the attention of the world for centuries.
