Pinelopi Sioni
Originally from Greece, Pinelopi has grown up all over the world. Beginning her yoga practice in 1999, she went on to complete a 600 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training course over a period of two years in Valencia, Spain. This training is recognized by the Berufsverband de Yogalehrendedn in Deutschland (BDY), World Movement of Yoga and Ayurveda and the European Yoga Federation. Since 2008, she has worked as a full-time yoga teacher in Spain and continued to do so after her move to Berlin in 2010. Subsequently, she deepened her knowledge through studying Yoga Anatomy with Leslie Kaminoff . Meanwhile she also studied with David Moore and attended several of his “Injury-free yoga” workshops of how to apply the Alexander Technique postural alignment to yoga poses. In January 2023, she completed a 1600hr Alexander Technique Teacher program over a period of three years and three months. Her meditation philosophy is deeply inspired by Tara Brach and especially the RAIN meditation technique. Pinelopi teaches students above all how to listen to their own body, how to ground themselves, how to accept their limits, trust their own process and how to unblock the mind that gets habitually stuck in painful patterns.
