Simo started his journey in the body/spiritual practices through the martial arts. Beginning with Jiu Jitsu found inspiration and trust in his first teacher. Following his advice, he found a new teacher when he left to study, with whom he went deep into Shotokan Karate. The period of his studies was a period of discovery. He didn’t miss the chance to study one semester in Belgium (Gent) and another one in Barcelona, and to try yoga, tai chi, pilates, capoeira, wing chun kung fu, contemporary dance, contact improvisation, boxing, acrobatics and meditation.
By finishing his studies in computer science, it was clear that he did not want to practice it as a profession, and he continued his search. After a sequence of events, he found himself in a community in the middle of the desert of Israel. There he came in strong touch with meditation, self-observation and met his first two ashtanga teachers and later a teacher who taught vini and vijnana yoga.
Arriving in Athens, he met Vinyasa krama, and found the tools to channel his interest in the potential of the human body/mind, space for creativity, discovery, deepening, challenges, and work with the physical to the most subtle levels of existence.
