...Embodying Versatility...
About her Teaching
Fania begins the art of teaching on the fundamental premise that in order for one to embody versatility, one must have a varied repertoire of breathing techniques available. Thus, if movement is initiated from the center and the breath, its variability is mirrored through the variability of the breath. It's all about elasticity and plasticity... Flexible strength! We work from the inside out, building strength, flexibility, coordination, and enthusiasm for being!
Available For:
Fania is available for one-on-one sessions: Pilates machines, Yoga, or a combination of various somatics techniques. For the yogis and yoginis, she is happy to include yoga poses on the machines!!!
P-RX: Pilates on the TRX Suspension System!
Utilizing the TRX suspension capabilities, pilates exercises are either facilitated or brought to a whole new level of challenge! Traditional TRX exercises are dissected and brought into proper alignment via pilates principles... And new choreography is brought into the mix, making this a full-blown mind-body work-out!
She is planning a "Pilates and Yoga in Synergy" seminar. Also, be on the look-out for various seminars co-taught with her twin sister, Ioanna, a.k.a. Yogamayii.
She may even treat you all to her donation-based seminar, "Cultivating Maitri (Loving Kindness)," a favorite in Athens!!!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"Fania worked with me when I lived in Barcelona during 2009-2010. In our private lessons Fania gave me a great grounding in pilates and different yoga disciplines. She fused pilates, yoga and body balance techniques in lessons designed to work specifically for my body.
Fania is a skilled teacher and a born healer. She brings boundless enthusiasm and kindness to her impressive technical expertise and builds trust from the beginning. She works with kindness, patience and presence and is very encouraging when you get moves right - and firmly persistent and motivating when you need to work harder! She knew what my body needed and was a stickler for getting the moves right."
-Ruth Anslow. Business Owner, Brighton, UK. Aged 37.
"I met Fania in New York, where I took Pilates with her on a private basis. Having taken Pilates before, I knew the concept of it. But taking Pilates with Fania opened a whole new world for me. I started to understand my posture and working my body in the right way. It was with her attention to detail, her great enthusiasm and ability to see problems and explain in a clear way that I was able to correct issues that I had for years. As a professional dancer it took my dancing to a whole new level. Her classes are structured in a way that is just so organic, that every time I left the class I felt much better in any way. She also developed her own method on teaching with balls, which is a unique class, that only someone as talented and caring as Fania could invent. Fania is a true expert in teaching movement, she knows each person's needs, and her positive energy and teaching skills translate directly to the student, and quick progress and feeling better every day is the result."
-Annatina Luck, Tango Dancer
"Inspiring and motivational sessions..."
-Dionisios Bougas, 36, Life Coach, Athens, Greece
"Fania's classes are super challenging while being fun. Her use of the bands, magic circles, and French accents brings elements of difficulty and lightness to the classes. Within just a few classes, I could feel a difference in my body!"
-Rachel Goldberg, Thrive student, Yoga Instructor
"I have had the honor to have been a dancer in Fania's choreography while attending Mason Gross School of the Arts. I remember always being excited to see and be a part of her work. Her design and movement style is like I have never seen before. She brings a unique beauty, raw emotion, humor, and a fierce commitment to her work. I am still excited to hear about what she is creating today."
-Sara Nelson, Age 31
