Meet Loriën– Your Hatha Yoga Instructor
With years of experience, Loriën offers a diverse and adaptable approach to yoga, ensuring each class meets the individual needs of the students. The primary focus of her teaching is helping you connect deeply with your body, through movements that feel natural and beneficial.
Yoga as a Way of Life
At Naxos Yoga, I believe that yoga is more than just physical movement—it is a way of life. Being alive and feeling alive are two very different things. Yoga is the bridge that connects you to the present moment, allowing you to fully embrace life as it unfolds. It helps you cultivate awareness, kindness, and patience while bringing balance to both body and mind.
Yoga is not about reaching an ultimate destination or achieving an esoteric goal. Instead, it is about facing the truth that reveals itself from moment to moment. It is a tool—one that brings harmony into our lives, fosters self-awareness, and empowers us with responsibility and self-determination. Through yoga, we reconnect with our true selves.
My Teaching Philosophy
I offer a diverse range of yoga styles, always prioritizing safety, enjoyment, and self-exploration.
My goal is to help individuals establish a deeper connection with their bodies, learning to move intuitively in a way that feels natural to them.
Rather than adhering to a rigid structure, my approach is somatic and adaptable, ensuring that every student finds what works best for their unique needs.
In my sessions, I emphasize:
- Proper alignment tailored to individual bodies
- A variety of asanas to build strength and flexibility
- Gentle sun salutations for flow and energy
- Focused breathwork to enhance awareness and relaxation
- Use of props and cushions for additional support
Yoga as a Way of Life
My group classes follow a dynamic Hatha yoga style, blending movement, breath, and meditation. Sessions are designed to be accessible to all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners.
For those looking for a more personalized experience, I also offer private sessions that are customized to your individual goals, needs, and pace. Whether you're recovering from an injury, deepening your practice, or simply looking for one-on-one guidance, these sessions offer a tailored approach to your yoga journey.
All classes begin in early July at your location and at the Medusa Resort, a serene and peaceful location by the sea. Mats and props are provided to ensure you have everything you need to immerse yourself in your practice.
For your convenience, we also offer the option to bring yoga directly to you! Whether you're staying at a hotel, a bed and breakfast, or a private villa, we can arrange to come to your location.
Why Practice Yoga?
Yoga is a practical tool that helps us navigate life with more balance, clarity, and presence. It teaches us to listen to our bodies, to observe our thoughts without judgment, and to create space for growth and transformation.
Through yoga, we learn to move with intention, breathe with awareness, and embrace each moment with a sense of gratitude and peace.
