On Sunday, October 11th, from 18:00–20:30, @johnkarvelis returns to Aiorisis for a workshop dedicated to inversions and handstands. The workshop is organized by @verticalproject_trainings in collaboration with Aiorisis. A stable handstand isn’t just built by trying again and again. It requires understanding what’s happening in the body, what’s missing, and what the next step should be. In this workshop, we’ll work on exactly that process: drills, assists, and progressions that help us gradually develop our technique in inversion poses. We’ll start with a dynamic practice to prepare the body for the work ahead, and then we’ll focus on elements like alignment, activation, balance, and body position in space. Using specific drills, we’ll isolate different aspects of the handstand, while partner assists will give us the opportunity to work on poses and movements with greater precision and safety. The goal isn’t just to “get into” a handstand, but to better understand how we build it. The workshop is addressed to practitioners with some Yoga experience, Yoga & Pilates teachers, dancers, performers, trainers, and anyone looking to develop their inversion practice. You don’t need to have a stable handstand already to participate.

There are feelings that are not said. They only move. They breathe. They float. Bodies in the air become waves, sometimes calm, sometimes impetuous. Intensity meets rhythm, sensitivity is intertwined with strength, and every movement tells a story. Let go. Feel. Immerse yourself. A performance of aerial acrobatics that moves between love, loneliness, conflict and harmony.

What happens when you stop thinking about flow and start listening to it? When practice is not only followed by movement but also by sound, breath and rhythm.🎶

A two-hour journey of free flow, movement and authentic expression. Through the connection of body, breath and creativity, we will explore how practice can become a space of freedom and inner inspiration. Come let yourself go with the flow, escape your comfort zone and discover new ways to connect with yourself.. The energy, the effort, the smiles - everything that makes this workshop unique. We flew, we laughed, we got tired, but above all… we connected. 💫

In this workshop we focus on inversions. We will work on vertical technique, hand balance, and safe entry and exit from upside-down positions.

How many times do we hear backbends and our lower back automatically tightens? Shouldn't it? In our first seminar, we will explore hyperextensions through a dynamic flow. We will warm up the body, unblock the key points for safe backbends, and learn how to approach them with strength, awareness, and comfort.

The seminar is organized by @verticalproject_trainings in collaboration with Aiorisis. In this workshop we start with a structured Vinyasa (Solar Asana Sequence), which step by step will lead us to inversions, specialized movements and sequences that train the physical body and “control” the emotional mind. Then, smart exercises -drills- of the supports on the hands, give shape to them even before their final execution! In addition, the appropriate support from our friends (assists) - and NOT from the walls! - as well as many more small steps, will lead us to countless small “victories” that will ultimately lead to the goal of a stable vertical! The workshop is aimed at: Practitioners with partial experience in yoga, without serious injuries, Yoga, Pilates Teachers, dancers and performers, trainers and in general those who deal with the physical body. acroyoga and yoga, and to connect with different communities. With great activity in many countries around the world, in AcroYoga, acrobatic couples, Yoga and Thai Massage, Giannis will guide us in a workshop that includes:

A specialized Aerial Yoga workshop for couples (duo). We explore collaboration, trust and shared flow in the air using the hammock. The class focuses on coordination and mutual support of the practitioners.

The show of the year is approaching! We are excited to present “Echoes of cities”, a show made with great passion and enthusiasm! We are waiting for you on June 14 at @theatro_avlaia to travel together through movement and dance, through time and through the cities of the world!

The workshop level is open to everyone. No previous experience is required. You also don't need to bring anyone with you, the pairs and trios are created there. In the first part of the workshop we will delve into support/vertical techniques, ways and drills that make handstands accessible to everyone. In the second part we will work in groups (pairs and trios) applying the supports to our acrobatic couple. Ideal workshop for acrobats, yoga teachers, performers, dancers and in general for those interested in discovering different ways of movement. Bring your good mood, appetite for collaboration and come and fly together!

Confidence, faith, courage, trust! After all, you only need strength to "take" the weight in your hands? What is it that ultimately gives us the most difficulty in handstands? Join us at the arm balances workshop to discover, experiment and play with handstands. A flow class that will aim to prepare and guide the body and mind into the best possible approach to this dynamic group of yoga poses. Suitable for all levels of practitioners.

We are starting our new season with the first workshop!🤩 Creative flow workshop “getting out of the ordinary” A workshop based on Vinyasa Flow Yoga, with elements of improvisation and basic neurodynamics exercises. In this seminar we will explore breathing and the body, the range of motion of each position, as well as unique combinations of positions that will take us out of our comfort zone and put us in the creative flow. We will abandon ourselves to the flow, awakening the body, encouraging play and fun, with the main ingredients being empowerment, awareness of physical capabilities, movement outside the ordinary and the connection of movement, breath and energy. If you want to explore the flow of movement beyond the limits of the mind, this workshop is for you! I'm waiting for you to discover it together!
