Xenia - Polyxeni Vatti

My first experience with Yoga was in 1993, when I started seeking relaxation after years of intensive training. From a very young age I was fascinated by athletics and managed to receive several distinctions in the girls category on local and regional level. Despite the success, I had a feeling of unfulfillment that my young age wouldn't help me comprehend. What I was actually lacking was the inner alignment of body, mind and emotions that leads to balance and contentment. This feeling gradually lead me to discovering yoga.

My expertise on yoga has brought me in the appropriate self-awareness level in order to have the necessary background for teaching. I spent significant amount of time focusing on the restrictions set by mind and the ideal way to overcome them. During this seamless mental pursuit I met ThetaHealing® practise, which addresses exclusively the subconscious mind, also the center of my interest.  

The solid foundation and knowledge I have gained during my expertise in yoga, has led me to a deep understanding of ThetaHealing® essence and has let me express all my healing potential.

In 2002 I met my yoga teacher Swami Sivamurti Saraswati (International Master of Yoga) who guided me in my education through seminars in Greece and India. I was taught equally the physiology and philosophy of Yoga and thus received a comprehensive education on theoretical and practical basis.

In 2005 I connected with my spiritual teacher Paramahamsa Niranjanananda Saraswati, founder of the Bihar Yoga Bharati (BYB) Institute of Higher Yoga Studies

In 2008 I was certified as Yoga Instructor in the system of Satyananda (365 hrs) by the Satyanandasram Greece. Since then I've been giving classes and received additional certifications in Kriya Yoga & Tattwa Shuddhi (70 hrs) and by Yoga Alliance international (200 hrs).

I'm a certified therapist ThetaHealer® and have completed:
ThetaHealing® Basic DNA
ThetaHealing® Advanced DNA
ThetaHealing® Dig Deeper training
ThetaHealing® Soulmate
ThetaHealing Rhythm to a perfect weight,
ThetaHealing® Manifesting and Abudance

I developed the experimental project “Yoga in the School” which included regular visits to a primary school during the whole school year.
