a journey to deepen your practice together we make you more somatic
Yoga Teacher Training
by Faye Balomenou
30/40/50h continuous education Yoga Alliance
Faye is a lead teacher in yoga trainings and a passionate international yoga teacher.
A former teacher of Greek literature and poetry, Faye completed her yoga trainings in India and Greece and over the years has created her own style of Vinyasa.
Her teaching experience began 10 years ago, and since then she has taught in many different countries and in a variety of workspaces.
Faye focuses on developing a movement culture through yoga practice, enabling practitioners to explore their physical potential and experience yoga beyond asana.
What lies behind her vinyasa is a method of empowering practitioners to gradually build confidence, self-belief and inner strength.
Every day is a new beginning and you can start over as many times as needed.
But you have to start right.
Start with your body. Step on your mat , move and breathe …and the rest will eventually fall into place.
I strongly believe that movement is medicine.
A good yoga session can be a powerful experience that sets the tone for therest of your day and can reset your mind and balance your emotional state .
the training
“Soma” is the greek word for “body”
I love this word.
Not just because I am Greek, but because this word encompassesone of the values of the ancient Greek world, to be physically strong.
It’s easier to be happy, if you are healthy.It’ s easier to feel beautiful in a strong body.
The body is fair, raw and real .It’ s not tricky, like the mind.
Be more somatic and the rest will fall into place.

“If you are going crazy searching for the right teacher and Yoga Teacher Training, stop; this is it. Faye is the one! I did my 200hr Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training with her in Greece, and it was definitely one of my best decisions ever. She is incredibly knowledgeable, not just in the art of asana practice (of which she is the queen), but also in yoga philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, and sequencing. She has it all. On top of that, she is an awesome human being - down-to earth, honest, caring, and authentic! I have stayed connected with her throughout the years, and she has been an incredible support on my journey asa yoga teacher.”

Von Faye zu lernen, war wunderbar! Mit ihrer sympathischen, authentischen, motivierenden, spaßigen, einfühlsamen und immer ehrlichen Art hat sie mir sehr bei meiner Entwicklung geholfen. Faye orientiert sich immer an dem, was ihre Schüler haben und brauchen. Sie gibt viele ehrliche Einblicke in ihre persönliche Geschichte als Yoga-Lehrerin, was mir sehr geholfen hat. Ich bin sehr, sehr dankbar, von ihr lernen zu dürfen und gleichzeitig sehr dankbar, auch nach der Ausbildung noch regelmäßig im Austausch mit ihr zu stehen.

"Faye to jedna z najlepszych nauczycielek, z jakimi miałem do czynienia w trakcie swojej jogowej drogi - zarówno jako uczeń, jak i nauczyciel. Sposób, w jaki łączy ona swoją wiedzę filozofii z fizycznością oraz osobistym doświadczeniem zdobytym na macie, tworzy wyjątkowe i jednorazowe doświadczenie, którego przeżyć nie da się nigdzie indziej, wyłącznie na macie, na jej zajęciach. Jako nauczycielka charakteryzuje się ona ogromną wiedzą z zakresu fizjologii, anatomii i prawidłowego ułożenia ciała w pozycjach. Faye polecam zdecydowanie każdemu, kto chce wnieść swoją praktykę na wyższy poziom."

“Faye es una excelente profesora, con la que he practicado por dos años aproximadamente, al principio en persona en una formación de yoga en Bali, y fue tanto lo que avancé en la práctica física con ella, que quise seguir haciéndolo de forma online. Es realmente gratificante poder contar con una persona tan apasionada, que se preocupa tanto por ayudar a sus alumnos a explorar sus límites y animarlos a superarlos. Sin duda, una de las mejores profes que he tenido!”

"Fay è davvero una perfezionista! Adoro il suo modo di spingerti oltre i tuoi limiti e farti arrivare dove non pensavi possibile! Con lei lavori su forza e precisione e il risultato è davvero incredibile. Non vedo l’ora di potermi riallenare con lei! La consiglierei a chiunque abbia voglia di appassionarsi allo yoga perché lei fa questo: con professionalità e dedizione ti guida nella pratica sino a non poterne fare più a meno!"

Faye 선생님은 제 메인 티처로 만날 수 있어서 너무 영광이고 큰 복이라고 생각합니다. Faye가 수업 시간에 가져오는 에너지는 큰 살라를 다 채울 정도로 파워풀 합니다. 매 순간 매 티칭에 최선을 다하는 선생이며, 그녀의열정은 요가 선생을 꿈꾸는저에게 그대로 내려와 에너지를 가득한 베이비 티처로 첫걸음을 뗄 수 있을 거 같습니다. Faye를 발리에서 만나게 돼서 꿈같은 200시간의TTC였다고 장담합니다.
