Moveology & Yoga by Evangelos Aik - Dousmani

Amazing teacher! He has extensive knowledge and expertise on the human body which really helps during classes. Discovering yoga with Evangelos was a very enlightening and fun experience. Totally recommended!

Evangelos is an amazing teacher, coach and soul. He is really attentive to his students, and has the knowledge to customize the class for your personal needs. I definetely recommend him 100%.

To summarize Evangelos as a teacher: wise, attentive, helpful. To summarize his classes: unique, enjoyable, highly recommended. I first met Evangelos in Evia, Greece during a yoga teacher training. Initially, I was surprised by the tall guy doing a handstand in the Shala, practicing alongside those who were instructing the course before it started. Who was this guy? Over the next 3 weeks, he taught our group a variety of pranayama and meditation techniques, encouraging students to find which ones resonate best with their individual needs and to utilize that support outside of class during self-practice. He was able to appeal to both visual and auditory learners by making mundane topics like anatomy or confusing ideas in philosophy come alive, ensuring everyone understood how the various aspects of yoga and movement could be applied to life. Although it may have been challenging for shy souls, I grew to appreciate how inclusive Evangelos’ style was since he was able to engage attention by making class active. Even if it provoked a debate or if things came out shaky, he helped each person find their voice in the right time. I’ve had the privilege of continuing to learn from Evangelos after returning to Canada from the yoga teacher training. At first, I was apprehensive about online classes, but his attention to detail and adventurous sequences leave me excited for Monday’s! It’s nice working with someone who can see the potential of their students, lending modifications or advancements where needed. Further, it’s special how he acknowledges the impact sound can have on the exercise by enhancing an approach through vocal tonality, chanting, songs chosen, or personally playing instruments near the end. So, I return to my initial question - who is this guy? From what I’ve learnt by practicing alongside Evangelos, both as students and with him as my teacher, he is a gem! He is kind, caring, inspiring, knowledgeable, passionate, and approachable. He aims to help others to the best of his ability, and if you are open to accepting it, he adds a unique flair to numerous subjects. This shines through with how enjoyable his themed lessons are. Thank you, Evangelos! I am really grateful we crossed paths and am looking forward to seeing you again for class soon!
