Domna Giannakis…

200hr YTT - Diploma Community Services - Holistic Counselling & Psychotherapy - Principles of Non Violent Communication

Domna began practising yoga in 2012 after completing her training in metaphysics and energy work. She grew to love the practice which enhanced the experiential connection of mind, body and spirit. After some years of deepening her personal practice, she went on to complete her 200h Yoga teacher training with Janine Leagh, of Hot Yogi Australia, and has been teaching yoga ever since. 

Domna's background in holistic counselling and psychotherapy forms the basis of her personal practice and comes through in her teaching, as she brings gentle awareness to the mind and its power. Domna teaches that in order to expand our conscious awareness,  we need to overcome the limitations of our own thinking patterns and become masters of our own minds. 

Domna teaches Hatha Vinyasa yoga, which is an active form of holding poses and flowing through different sequences with each breath. There is always an element of Yin yoga to decompress the body and relax the mind afterwards. 

Domna also teaches children's yoga classes, which are centered around having fun, connecting positively with one's self and others, while learning and benefiting from the basic techniques of yoga.

"Life is a teacher and if we are open to its lessons, especially the challenging ones, personal growth can be an ongoing journey of self transformation."
