OM namo narayana. This is the home site for Eleni Gekas’ Ayurveda and Yoga practices.
As a certified massage therapist, Yoga teacher, Ayurveda practitioner, Doula, and Spanish bilingual elementary school educator, I bring a holistic approach to my practice that combines the wisdom of these studies.
From my twelve years of work in massage therapy and Yoga, I’ve found that bodies often act as store-houses of emotions. Unwinding the body naturally through Yoga, massage, and a balanced lifestyle can release these deeply held emotions. Ayurveda gives us the tools of self and body awareness; through this, health and balance become a natural way of being in the world.
As an educator, I make sure to structure my classes to suit my students’ unique styles of learning; I understand the importance of using the correct teaching method for each person. Part of my role as a Yoga instructor and as an Ayurveda consultant is to find the best way of presenting information to you such that you will fully internalize and understand our work together. This is essential to getting the full benefit of these practices.
Om gaṃ gaṇpataye namaḥ namo namaḥ
Sama doṣa sama agni sama dhātu mala kriyā praśama ātma indriya
Māna swāstha iti abhidhīyate
Om śanti śanti śanti
