About Christina Exarchou
Christina’s passion for movement began with dance and rhythmic gymnastics, before a period of illness led her to step away and focus on recovery. In 2007, she discovered Ashtanga Yoga and committed to a daily Mysore-style practice in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
She has studied extensively in India and London, including at the Krishna Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI), where she was authorised (Level 2) by R. Sharath Jois to teach the Primary and Intermediate series.
After years of traditional practice, Christina began exploring a more expressive approach to movement, developing her own free-flow style that blends yoga with elements of mobility and contemporary dance.
Her teaching encourages students to connect with their intuition and use movement as a tool for self-expression, healing, and inner balance.
