Centre Teachers
Mansoor
From a very young age Mansoor was acutely aware of the immense contradictions around him and of a feeling that somewhere, there must be a meeting point beyond all the conflicting religious and sectarian beliefs. His search took him through many spiritual traditions, in different countries and many cultural contexts.
For the last 17 years Mansoor has been teaching Yoga in the US, Europe and India. He is able to share and communicate this understanding in a remarkable and revealing way, creating a bridge between all the different traditions, East and West, ancient and modern and expose the underlying ever-present Truth. He has written several books, which are profound works of insight and revelation.

Peter Petrou
Peter began his yoga journey in Switzerland with his guru Mansoor in 2005, which strongly focused on philosophy, yoga scriptures, meditation (vipassana), pranayama and asana. Over the past 14 years Peter has received over 1000 hours of yoga training and continued to deepen his practice through studying Sivananda yoga in India. He is passionate about sharing the benefits he has witnessed from his own yoga and vipassana practice. For this reason he founded the Vedanta Centre in 2013 and continues to share his vision of yoga being an integrative practice between the mind, body and spirit. Peter’s classes focus on the dual aspects of yoga, of the breath being the vehicle for mindful practice, and the physical practice being the vehicle for the spirit's journey to higher states of awareness. Peter is also Reiki qualified, a Dorn therapist and Breathwork Coach.

Alexia recently returned to Cyprus after spending 12 years living, studying and teaching in Asia. Born with hip dysplasia, Alexia found yoga and it's therapeutic benefits early in life, using the practice as a medium to correct and align her walking and posture as early as age 7. She trained as an Ashtanga/Vinyasa yoga teacher in India in 2015, yet found true resonance in her Yin Yoga training with Sebastian Pucelle, student of Paul Grilley,who developed Yin yoga as we know it today. Her philosophy of teaching is reflected in Bernie Clark's quote " We don't use the body to get into a pose, we use the pose to get into the body". In her classes you will experience a joyful musical flow, focused on enhancing personal wellbeing no matter what shape, flexibility or "experience" one may have. Alexia is a student of Master Charlotta 'Chandrika' Martinus and a registered Teen Yoga teacher with the Teen Yoga Foundation UK. She is also an experienced Aqua Yoga teacher, Seniors Yoga and Kids Yoga teacher as well as an Usui Reiki practitioner.
