I am very excited to be participating in the organisation of the Chamonix Yoga Retreat 12-14 January 2019 on behalf of my great friend and teacher Tassos Anastasio who will be joining us all the way from Paros Island in Greece.
Tassos is a JI1 Certified Iyengar Yoga teacher with 16 years of experience. He has taught yoga for more than 13 years in his native Melbourne Australia before relocating to Paros in the Cyclades where he has been teaching for over 3 years.
Tassos Anastasio was attracted to the intricacies of the Iyengar Yoga system in 1996 as therapy for an injury, and found that with its focus on alignment and precision and the use of props to obtain advanced postures without strain, he benefited greatly.
With time he realised that his interest in Meditation and Eastern Philosophy tied in with the complete science of Yoga. With the intention of passing on the benefits and joy of Yoga to others he went on to complete teacher training at SKYS (Stkilda Yoga School ) in Melbourne in 2006, and has been teaching throughout Melbourne, Australia for 13 years.
