Founder of Nama Yoga Studio
Victoria Kourkaki is the founder of Nama Yoga Studio and the leader of the yoga space, seminars and training programs. She met yoga in 2008 when one of her dear and best friends asked her to start yoga together in a new space. The magic of yoga, the lightness and openness it brings accompanied her the next few years while she was a university student. Daily practice became an integral part of her daily life, helping her embody the experience of yoga.
