MY STORY
Hi, I am Agapi
​
Thank you for making the time to visit what I love most:
​
Crete, yoga and story telling.
​
I was born and raised in the beautiful and abudant island of Crete, surrounded by a big and boisterous traditional Cretan family! Sharing has always been part of my upbringing among 2 sisters and 2 brothers, all different, all blessed to be raised in togetherness. Being raised in this island of raw beauty surrounded by the sea and the rich history of the Minoan civilization, I found my inspiration.
Before yoga became part of my life, I was in ballet for a life time as a student of Royal Academy of Dancing and Modern Theater Dance. I always loved the freedom of expression the art of dance brings to our bodies and minds! I love to dance, I find it so liberating and Its such a pure joy!
​
​
It was a foot injury in my early twenties that urged me to say goodbye to my point shoes and made me turn to yoga and pilates as part of my well being. Exploring yoga and its benefits to my body and mind grew more and more through practicing it outside in nature. The magic of practicing yoga under the warmth of the sun and the breeze of the blue sea in Crete, gave birth to my Cretan Earth Yoga and meditation retreats.

I believe that story sharing has unique power that unite us and make us better creatures, unleashing our creativeness. My book of stories "August Fifteenth" has been published in 2019 and since then I am happy to share my childhood stories of coming off age in Crete during the 80s. Spending summers in my grandmas cottage with mummys recipies, noisy big family, endless cooking days and family gatherings was a unique experience that shaped my love for family, balance and nature love. A gift I love sharing with story reading under the olive trees thick shadow at noon time, during my retreats.
​
My journey combines nature, body balance and inner happiness. As a certified Hatha Yoga teacher (200 TT Hours) I enjoy practicing my yoga in Crete, that is my island and my inspiration aiming the spreading of love, balance & connection to our daily expressions.
