Myrto Xavella

🌷How much space do you give your body to speak? How often do you let it move without rules, breathe without rhythm, expand without fear? Myrto Xavella will be with us at Eutopia, offering a Yin Yang Yoga practice and a first taste of Contact Improvisation. An invitation to embodied presence, to truth through movement, to the love that already lives within us. --- I am Myrto. I was born in March 1988 in Athens. From a young age, I was curious about everything; I loved somersaults and people. Growing up, I cultivated a great love for movement, music, and dance. In my adolescence, I came into contact with music, playing the guitar, and I started singing. I wished to study dance or psychology, but for various reasons, my choice was the Athens University of Economics and Business. I got my degree, worked, and became financially independent from a young age. But something was missing, gnawing at me; I felt there was something more to fill me. At 25, I started practicing Contact Improvisation, and at 27, Yoga. There was no turning back. The acquaintance of body and spirit became my main occupation and continues to be so today. I am a Yoga teacher and have been guiding classes at my space, KoAla Yoga Studio, since 2018, as well as elsewhere in other studios, in parks, even on ships! Practice is an internal affair and can happen anywhere. The types of Yoga I guide are mainly Vinyasa and Yin Yoga. My practices are a combination of postures, free movement, breath, and meditation. My personal practice combines movement, Yoga, improvisation, breath, meditation, speech, and music. My great interest is to know who I am and to live and share this knowledge. My interest has led me to discoveries that my wildest imagination could not have illuminated and has led me to a deep faith that the greatest creative force is love and that the world of love we dream of is coming.
