Ένα υπέροχο εκπαιδευτικό που σου δίνει τις γνώσεις, τα εφόδια αλλά και την έμπνευση να γίνεις η καλύτερη εκδοχή του εαυτού σου σαν άτομο αλλά και σαν δασκάλα. Η Αλεξάνδρα αποτελεί πρότυπο σε όσα έχει καταφέρει και με έναν μαγικό τρόπο σου δίνει κίνητρο να πετύχεις ότι εχεις ονειρευτεί, με την θετική της ενέργεια και την ενθάρρυνση ο νους και το σώμα σου θα φτάσει στη κορυφή. Όλη η ομάδα του εκπαιδευτικού (Αλεξάνδρα-Αναστασία- Γιώργος) έχουν βάλει όλη τους την αγάπη, το μεράκι αλλά και τον επαγγελματισμό και το αποτελέσματα πραγματικά ήταν απίθανο, ξεπέρασε τις προσδοκίες μου και είμαι πολύ χαρούμενη και ικανοποιημένη που το πρώτο μου 200αρι ήταν με αυτήν την υπέροχη ομάδα. Και όπως λέει και η δασκάλα, η προσοχή στην λεπτομέρεια κανει την διαφορά, κάτι που η ίδια φρόντισε σε όλους τους τομείς του εκπαιδευτικού και για αυτό ξεχώρισε !Τυχερή και ευλογημένη που ανήκω στην ομάδα του πρώτου golden hour training ❤️

Είμαι ευγνώμων που ήμουν, είμαι και θα είμαι για πάντα μέρος αυτής της ομάδας🌅 Είναι το πιο όμορφο και μαγικό εκπαιδευτικό που απαρτίζεται από επαγγελματίες που λατρεύουν την δουλειά τους και είναι εκεί πάντα για σένα με πολύ αγάπη και αυτό φαίνεται από την πρώτη στιγμή!! Είναι ακριβώς όπως τα λέει η Αλεξάνδρα, δεν είναι ένα απλό εκπαιδευτικό, σου παρέχει γνώσεις πολύ περισσότερες από αυτές που μαθαίνει κάποιος τελειώνοντας τις 200 ώρες!Το μόνο κακό σε αυτό το εκπαιδευτικό είναι ότι κάποια στιγμή τελειώνει!!! Κορίτσιααα, Αλεξάνδρα , Αναστασία και Καλοδήμα σας αγαπώ και σας ευχαριστώ για όλα όσα μου μάθατε!Namaste🧘♀️💖🕉️

Η καλύτερη επένδυση στο κομμάτι της yoga ονομάζεται Αλεξάνδρα Ρίζου🙂 ένας φανταστικός ανθρωπος με θετική αύρα, αισιοδοξία και πάντα με το χαμόγελο! Ένα manual το οποίο δημιούργησε με τόσο αγαπη και η οποία διοχετεύεται και σ όλο το team! ❤️Ξεκίνησα το εκπαιδευτικό χαμένη στον ορίζοντα με τις υποχρεώσεις και είπα θα το προσπαθήσω και όπου βγει, πολλές ήταν και οι φορές που σκέφτηκα να το αφήσω αλλά με την Αλεξ και να το σκέφτεσαι δεν το κάνεις…έχει ένα μαγικό τρόπο να σε πείθει πως όλα μπορούν να γίνουν! Ήταν ένας φανταστικός χειμώνας με την καλύτερη παρέα και με πολλές γνώσεις… ανυπομονώ για τις συναντήσεις μας! Σ ευχαριστώ αγαπημένη μου δασκάλα για την στήριξη, υπομονή και την εμπιστοσύνη σου!! Cheers 🥂 στα καλύτερα που έρχονται!

In the beginning you don’t know what to expect. To be in a group with a lot of knowledge and little time for yourself. But after the first weekends it isn’t that difficult anymore. You go with the flow. Like everyone, so did I have my hard moments. But Alexandra takes good care of you. Alexandra as a trainer gave us everything. Through her own experience and evolution in yoga she could answer any of our difficulties. This yoga teacher training course is very professional and every day you feel the progress you make, physically as well as mentally. For me an experience I will never forget. I am leaving Sunset Energy 200hr with more confidence, more knowledge and more focus to live more healthy. This is what you gave me here and for that I am grateful.”

Σ' ένα πολύ φιλικό και χαλαρό περιβάλλον όπως πρέπει να είναι ένα εκπαιδευτικό γιόγκα εμβαθύναμε πολύ στη φιλοσοφία, ανατομία και yoga asanas. Όλη η ομάδα έκανε καταπληκτική δουλειά με επαγγελματισμό, διάθεση και βαθιά γνώση του αντικειμένου. Απευθύνεται όχι μόνο σε δασκάλους αλλά και σε όσους θέλουν να εμβαθύνουν, να βελτιώσουν την πρακτική τους, να κατανοήσουν τις σωστές τεχνικές και όλα εκείνα τα μικρά μυστικά/tips που θα τους βοηθήσουν τελικά να κατακτήσουν τις πόζες που ονειρεύονται. Όλα αυτά βέβαια σε συνδυασμό με δυναμικά μαθήματα σε καθημερινή βάση & με τα απίστευτα δημιουργικά flows της αγαπημένης μας Αλεξάνδρας. Κλείνοντας θα ήθελα να τονίσω το πάθος, την ενέργεια και την καλοσύνη της δασκάλας που ήταν πρόθυμη να απαντήσει σε κάθε μας ερώτηση, να καλλιεργήσει ένα όμορφο κλίμα στην ομάδα μακριά από ανταγωνισμούς και πίεση και να δημιουργήσει το πιο αγαπησιάρικο yoga community.

Τι πιο υπέροχο συναίσθημα από το να παίρνεις γνώσεις και καθοδήγηση από το είδωλο σου; Ότι και να γράψω για την Αλεξ και το εκπαιδευτικό της σίγουρα δεν θα είναι αρκετό μέσα σε αυτές τις λίγες γραμμές . Με βοήθησε , εμένα και αλλον τόσο κόσμο, να ακολουθήσω το όνειρο μου , να κάνω επάγγελμα αυτό που αγαπώ περισσότερο -την γιόγκα- , να γνωρίσω υπέροχους ανθρώπους μέσα από το φανταστικό community που έχτισε μέσω μιας οθόνης και πάνω απ όλα με βοήθησε να αποκτήσω αυτοπεποίθηση , δύναμη (εσωτερική και εξωτερική) και πείσμα . Πείσμα στο ότι και αν θέσω σαν στόχο, με θέληση και σκληρή δουλειά, θα το καταφέρω . Όπως κατάφερε και η ίδια να γίνει αυτή που είναι σήμερα. Μια φανταστική δασκάλα μα πάνω απ’ολα ένας υπέροχος άνθρωπος . Η Αναστασία και ο Γιώργος δεν θα μπορούσαν να είναι τίποτα λιγότερο από αυτό για να είναι μέρος τους εκπαιδευτικού . Φοβερές γνώσεις , απίστευτα μεταδοτικοί και πάνω απ όλα δίπλα μας σε κάθε βήμα. Σας είμαι πραγματικά τόσο ευγνώμων για όλα . The best ❤️❤️❤️ P.S can’t wait for the next one

Alexandra Rizou
Alexandra started practicing yoga in 2013, not knowing that this would change her life.
She grew up doing all kinds of sports, mostly tennis in her youth and then rock climbing and contemporary dancing.
Yoga came naturally because of her need for movement, but this is where she discovered her true self.
She completed 200 hours of training in traditional Hatha yoga in 2015 and continue to learn to this day, attending as many workshops as possible, during her travels in Nepal, New York, and Los Angeles every year.
In 2020 she became a 500 RYT certified instructor under the teachings of the world-renown Savvas Giantsis from House of Yoga.
Determined to help and empower people through yoga, Aleksandra has taught in many yoga retreats all over Greece, and she has worked as an instructor in gyms and big yoga studios.
She personally has organized two sold-out 3day retreats with more than 35 students and sold-out yoga classes and workshops.
In 2021 she moved with her husband, George Kalodimas, to New York to see if it is true that the sky is the limit!
Pushes herself daily in her Ashtanga Vinyasa practice.
She teaches everyday Vinyasa Flow in her private studio, where she promotes the whole idea of wellness through her teachings blended with her healthy snacks and colorful smoothies!
In 2020 she started free yoga sessions through her Instagram account an average of 200 students each time!
With more than 300 full yoga sessions gave hope and love for the art of yoga to hundreds of people that were stuck in their apartments because of the lockdowns…
This gave her the ability to be experienced and comfortable teaching remotely via online classes.
Also, because of this everyday effort, in the Greek Influencer Marketing Awards in 2021, she won the Gold in best online-fitness response.
For years she has been the official Yoga Teacher of Adidas Runners in Greece and the Yoga Teacher of the Spetses Marathon!.. she has worked with major big brands like LG, Nestle, Samsung, Schwarzkopf hair, Melissa pasta, and Loumidis coffee!
She is known for her strength, handstands, and unique teaching approach that is both inspiring and empowering. Her goal is to help yogis from all levels to find their inside and outside power and uncover the range of their abilities.
Loves nature and hiking, photography, and traveling in remote destinations!

Anastasia Rantilaki
Lead Teacher Trainer
Bachelor of Physical Education and Sport,
Anastasia entered the world of sports in a very young age starting with swimming and artistic gymnastics. Later on she hopped into ballet (classical and modern) for 7 years just to fall back in gymnastics and acrobatics just before finishing high school.
In 2003 she begun studying Physical Education and Sports in the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and graduated in 2007.
From 2002 to 2007 she was a martial arts athlete, winning contests for several years in Greece.
In 2004 she had her first experience with yoga and in 2006 she completed her first teacher training.
Up until 2009 she had completed multiple trainings and seminars on: aromatherapy, shiatsu, thai massage, reiki and pranic healing.
She has been teaching yoga since 2006 in personal and group level. From the first time she stood in front of her students she knew that this was her path, her dharma. She wanted to teach yoga and spread out to the world the change she was experiencing in her everyday life.
In 2011 she completed a training in Pilates Mat & Equipment and continued in 2012 with Aerobics, Choreography masters, Group resistance training, Power Cycling, Aqua Aerobics, Tae Box και EBC (enhanced body consciousness).
As time went by she realized that just teaching yoga in a class wasn’t enough. She wanted more. So the next step was to train people to become yoga teachers. So in summer 2012 she traveled for the first time to India where she completed another 200 hours hatha yoga teacher training and ever since she has been an active member of the Yoga Alliance Organization.
Coming back to Greece she completed a year long 500 hours Hatha Yoga teacher training with Michalis Filinis and once again set off to India.
Since 2015 she has been cooperating with Studio One and Yoga & Budo Center (until 2021), training yoga teachers in 200 and 300 hours.
The birth of her son in 2018 and the whole being pregnant experience changed her body and the way she sees life and yoga practice and led her to explore other paths as well. She became a certified Pre/Post natal yoga teacher and a Birth Doula.
Her goal in life is to provide health, wellness and vitality to people along with a different perspective in life.
