My name is Dimitra Cerriku
My yoga journey began during a challenging and dark phase of my life. From the moment I stepped on my mat, I felt a deep sense of homecoming. Yoga became a transformative tool, allowing me to heal, connect, and understand life in a profound way. It taught me that real happiness is cultivated from within. With over a decade of practice, my teaching style reflects the wisdom and depth I have gained through years of exploration and dedication.
