Nicole Joannides

I have been a bodyworker and yoga practitioner for over two decades. I connect with people in a way that invites them to see their true potential and worth, giving them the strength to reach the highest potential in their work and personal lives. My 20 years of work allows me to have power and confidence to pass on my experience of yoga through my eyes, my heart and my spirit. I do what I do because I love seeing the transformation of peacefulness and balance in people's eyes. I do what I do because I want to make a difference in people's lives and leave a footprint on their souls just to remind them how special and unique they are. Women who are innovative and evolutionary look for a program like The Y Program, as it aims to create strong, balanced, and confident individuals who will bring their motivation and balance to their families and friends, and live the lives they have always dreamed of. As an expert in my field, I bring back the motivation that new mothers and women who feel disconnected, unmotivated, and tired have lost. The Y Program aims to reconnect, retreat, and rejuvenate its participants through yoga practices, breathing techniques, and meditation to reach a balanced body, mind, and spirit. My student-to-teacher journey I finished second in my first teacher training in 2009 in Athens. From that day onwards, my knowledge has grown through training, retreats, and philosophy seminars, both as a teacher and a student. I have trained in Vinyasa, Iyengar, Anusara, Prenatal, Therapeutic, and Kids yoga with internationally known teachers like Scean Corn, Desiree, Todd Tessen, Sue Elkind, Noah Maze, and Harvard University professor in Indian Philosophy, Dr. Douglas Brookes. I have owned my own studio since 2009 and have dedicated students who practice with me weekly. I am the founder of The Y Program, The Y Program for Companies, and The Y Program for Women. I have taught kids' yoga at Hill Memorial School from 2015-2021 and worked at Dorothy Snot preschool from 2010 to 2019; both schools are privately owned and highly inspirational in the city of Athens for their innovative teaching.
