The shala
“Modern Yogi Nafplio” is a dream come true that came to life in the summer of 2023. Two Athenians, Dimitris and Marianna, along with their two daughters and their dog Daphne, decided to leave behind the bustling city and create their own oasis just an hour and a half from Athens, in one of Europe’s 10 most beautiful cities, the lovely Nafplio.
The Mediterranean aesthetic of the space, the view of the garden and the Palamidi castle, as well as its location at the entrance to the Old Town, make our Shala one of the most enchanting in Greece!
At its core, the school operates daily, dedicated to the practice of traditional Ashtanga yoga, offering morning and afternoon Mysore classes, creating a space of calm and self-observation with respect for the individual. This allows all practitioners to find a balanced and healthy way of exercise that can be integrated into their lives. Deeply believing in the gift of yoga, it creates a community in the space, where the practice is open and accessible to everyone, bringing yoga not as a luxury, but as part of everyday life.
The classes offered at the studio are for all levels and ages. From the traditional Mysore class to the guided Led classes, the goal is the healing of body and mind, with the philosophy of honoring the uniqueness of each practitioner. Ask us how you can get started!
Additionally, the space offers Yin yoga, Kids yoga, Aerial yoga, Pilates mat classes, and organizes outdoor activities in nature such as Hiking, Rock Climbing, Urban or Adventure Hiking. The program is enriched with Workshops, talks, and meditation classes, which are announced in the school’s news.
The physical practice of yoga will first change your body, then it will change your mind, and then it will change your entire life.
The Modern Yogi is the person who integrates the ancient teachings of yoga into modern life. He keeps his connection with nature, loves action and outdoor activities, cherishes his body, breath, falls in love with people, admires art, lives in the moment, and loves life!
