Patrikios
Patrick, known in practice as Yogi Patrikios, is a certified Hatha–Vinyasa yoga instructor, trained under Angelos Ananda at the Angelos Ananda Institute in Athens, Greece.
For Yogi Patrikios, yoga is not just a practice on the mat but a way of life — a path of authenticity, healing, and spiritual awakening. His classes are infused with the richness of his own journey, blending grounding asanas with breathwork, meditation, chanting, and subtle energy work to harmonize body, mind, and spirit. Each offering unfolds like a season of practice, with themes that evolve every few months, inviting practitioners to root deeply in one energetic focus before opening to the next.
His “The Heart of a Warrior,” draws upon the solar plexus and heart chakras to ignite courage and love, encouraging yogis to release, expand, and embody their fullest selves. It is envisioned as the first step in a creative evolution — a living journey that connects into private sessions, bodywork, and synergistic collaborations with fellow instructors. Through this unfolding, Patrikios invites students to not only practice but to co-create the path of healing and connection together.
