Certified Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Yoga Teacher & Thai Massage Therapist

I was born in Athens in 1990. In 2008, alongside my studies at the Fine Arts University of Ioannina, I began my training in the art of traditional Wushu Kung Fu. After years of training in the Nan Shaolin Choi Mok Pai system under the guidance of Christos Stavropoulos, I achieved the degree of black belt and the diploma of 2nd Duan, certified by the Hellenic Wushu Kung Fu Federation.

At the same time, in 2011, I began studying the traditional Chen style of Tai Chi Quan, practicing Qi Gong, and participating in Yoga practices, realizing that this was exactly what I needed for balance.

In 2016, I completed my first Yoga Teacher Training Course in Hatha Yoga under the guidance of Christos Charikiopoulos and began teaching. I later attended various advanced seminars and completed two additional Yoga Teacher Training Courses in Greece and India, deepening my understanding of different Yoga styles as well as therapeutic approaches.

In 2018, I traveled to China, where I studied at the Huang Hua Tai Chi Academy, learning the arts of Qi Gong and Tai Chi Quan (Yang and Chen styles) under Master Huang Hua, and received my Instructor Diploma. Upon returning, I began teaching Tai Chi and Qi Gong classes daily, focusing on promoting health and well-being.

Seeking new horizons, integrated knowledge, and personal growth, I completed the Thai Massage Therapy Training Program at the ITM School in Thailand, where I learned the traditional manual therapy and energetic healing art of Thailand.

Since 2023, I have been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture at the Academy of Ancient Greek and Traditional Chinese Medicine, in Athens, while also completing the Academy’s training program in Cupping Therapy and Chinese Tuina massage.

In recent years, I have been living in the city of Mytilene, where, together with my wife (also a Yoga teacher), we founded Eutopia Yoga & Tai Chi Center, a space dedicated to spreading the holistic arts of the East to the West.

Also, at 2025, I have begun teaching at the Academy of Ancient Greek and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Athens, offering a Qi Gong Teacher Training Program & Introduction to Tai Chi. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this program combines theoretical education and practical training in ancient and contemporary recognized forms and techniques, with the aim of promoting health and well-being.
