Few words about me Tety Kalafati , the founder of YPSK and how it all begun . 

Born in Athens and raised in Kefalonia from a greek dad and a greek american mom . I lived up until 17 years old in Kefalonia , where from I graduated high school . Due to my connections with the US I always wanted to study there Theatre and Performing Arts .

I had a dream that seemed very tempting but also promising .

However I studied my first degree in Athens at the American College of Greece , Derree College  , I have a BA in Marketing Communications.Parallel to my studies i was studying Theatre in various schools / ongoing workshops .

After graduation I mooved to NY where i discovered yoga through Yogaworks. How awsome that thing yoga is , I said to myself . 

New emotions were discovered .

All that blockage i felt while on stage suddenly went

 away . I started feeling still , I managed to get better into roles , memorizing parts and be more independent from others opinions . WOW what else does an actor need , i whispered to my actress self . 

Moving to LA , pursuing a carrer in acting felt like a melting lava inside of me.

I had to somehow , put out the fire ,that melting lava inside of me that was created by this ongoing stressful competition that actors go through once they pursue a carrer in Hollywood. . 

Yoga saved my soul and spirit . Before I even noticed ,I started my teacher training programm in Santa Monica with my amazing teacher Bianca Fearon at Hot 8 Yoga on Second Street . 

Balance , Wellness and FLexibility were now my new best friends.

Moving back to Greece for personal reasons and mostly professionals led me to my decision of never leaving yoga out of my life . 

My bread & butter  job at the moment  is the hotel business . I am the owner of the Alley Boutique Hotel & Spa in Kefalonia , which is located fairly close to the studio.

Yoga & Pilates were missing out from this island so i decided to open up a studio since i had this beautiful space thanks to my amazing husband Spiros. This way besides myself beeing balanced and happy people of the island and also tourists can join the beauty of wellness !

Our philosophy is to build a hollistic approach to our community in order for them to handle everyday's challenges with a happy  and cheerful attitude .

Namaste 

Tety  & Spiros
