What to do and see in Athens, Attica: The Best Yoga & Pilates
Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

Well, I have known Yog Guru Siddharth Shiv Khanna for over 14 years now and have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about Yoga, Meditation and Spirituality from him. He has shown me the right path, the right way of doing things... from my daily chores to my professional and personal life. A great listener who wouldn’t have to choose the right words before saying... it’s the calmness and enlightened soul within him that would give one the answers to every question. I have to really thank him for making my life easier with his simple words and showing me the real side of me. What I am today, doing well in all aspects of my life... I have to give guruji the credit for the same. Once he holds your hand, he keeps holding onto you till you have attained and understood the path to righteousness and eventually moksha.

Alexia has a unique way of making you feel relaxed and at ease whatever your yoga level. Her style is that of observation and gentle guidance, letting you comfortably enter each pose. She has an intuitive way of being in sync with her students, discreetly adapting her lesson accordingly. She has an appeasing while matter of fact way when giving instructions, which is very refreshing (I have a distaste for the 'all knowing', 'celestial' or 'inspired' kind of voice/attitude many yoga instructors adopt). And she can do this in three different languages. Alexia gives lessons in her studio situated in the very center of Athens, as well as outdoors in the National Garden in good weather. I have been following her lessons for more than a year now (incl. the online Zoom sessions during lockdown). She also organises yoga retreats throughout the year at various beauty spots around Greece. My partner and I joined the Nisyros island retreat last July. It was great fun. A whole week with yoga classes twice a day (sometimes on the beach, or on hilltops), combined with a laid back sightseeing schedule that enabled us to mingle or not, with the group, sample the local eateries, go swimming and do a little further sightseeing on our own. More important, Alexia does not impose on you the usual yoga discipline related restrictions (no alcohol, no smoking, strict vegetarian meals etc.), which is really refreshing.
