A space to connect with yourself
Yoga is a journey of inner exploration, balance and personal growth. At Yogaayam we create a space where movement, breath and awareness meet, offering time and space for a meaningful connection with the body and our inner world.
Yoga is not about performance or flexibility
It is a personal practice that adapts to the needs and the pace of each person.
Through yoga classes, seminars and retreats, we invite you to get to know your body and your breath better, to cultivate your concentration and to bring more calm and balance into your everyday life.

THAI MASSAGE · TRANSLATED FROM GREEK
“I would love to add one more service I received from Konstantinos, a Thai massage session. As I enjoy this technique a lot, I occasionally reach out to people who offer it when I am travelling. I am so happy that we made this happen with such a short notice. The whole session felt sacred. Being taken care of and supported. It was gentle and deep whenever needed. Intuitive and present, like the yoga classes you are teaching. Our dear friend includes additional therapeutic modalities in his session which I really enjoyed. Finishing the massage I felt joyful and inspired. Thank you for this great journey! I would confidently receive again from you. All the best 🔅
THAI MASSAGE
“We had such a wonderful experience with Konstantinos and Maria during our holiday in Crete! We booked a yoga session for 6 of us (3 couples), followed by massages, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
The yoga session with Konstantinos was fantastic and very beginner-friendly. He was patient, welcoming and made everyone feel comfortable, even those of us who had little or no previous yoga experience. It was the perfect way to relax and start our day together.
Maria’s massages were equally amazing. She was lovely, professional and made sure everyone felt relaxed and comfortable. We all left feeling refreshed and completely pampered.
Both Konstantinos and Maria were friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They really added to our holiday experience in Crete, and we would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a relaxing yoga and massage experience. We would definitely book with them again! ❤️
YOGA & MASSAGE, HOLIDAY IN CRETE
The weekly schedule
Classes take place at our school, Yogaayam, at Atlantidos 11, in Mastampas, Heraklion, very close to Panagitsa.
Before your first class
No. You don't need to be flexible to do yoga. Yoga can be adapted to all types of people and to all ages. The practice is for everyone, literally.
The exercises are adapted to what you are able to do. It is not the same practice for everyone: each person does what is right for them at that particular moment.
Give it a little time at the start, about one to two months of regular practice, to feel the benefits for yourself. With regular practice they become a personal experience.
Comfortable clothes, water and your own mat, if you have one. Otherwise, mats are provided by the school.
Yes, booking a place is required. Call us or send us a message on WhatsApp and we will let you know about available places.
