Inside the studio
Our Team
Zoe Ginnis
I received an undergraduate degree in Political Science and Finance in Athens University, Greece and in Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), Austria. I pursued a successful career in corporate marketing spanning 20+ years. My passion for yoga led me to chasing an alternate career path. I hold a certification in Yoga recognized by Yoga Alliance International India and I am a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher by Yoga Alliance. I am committed to living according to the principles of Yoga on and off the mat. I possess an in-depth experience in teaching both groups and individuals, and conduct classes in both, Greek and English. The main rewards a Yoga practitioner experiences is the increased stamina, reduction of anxiety and stress, clarity of thought, general well-being, and an overall sense of serenity. Yoga is freedom and a form of self-expression.
I opened Mind Body Soul Yoga studio in 2011, in Drosia, Attica. Since summer 2018, the studio is relocated in the center of Athens next to Mavili Square. I am member of the Administrative Board of the Hellenic Yoga Association, KYTA Hellas and the Hellenic Yoga Federation.
Lena Mila
I started exploring movement by attending ballet and contemporary dance classes. Following the completion of my undergraduate and postgraduate studies, I have worked in several fields of the Pharmaceutical industry,
In 2018, I took my first Yoga Class as I was keen to explore conscious movement combined with conscious breathing. I was impressed by the immediate benefits that occurred to my body, mind, and soul. At that time yoga became part of my daily life.
Since 2023, I have been a Certified Yoga Teacher by Yoga Alliance, US.
I love the flow - the sequence of asanas- and the magic dance they compose.

I was born in Athens in 1971. In 1987, I entered the Naval Officer School and served on fleet vessels and as crew member of the P-3B Orion military aircraft, accumulating nearly 3000 flight hours, until 2006 when I retired.
I was introduced to yoga in 1991 in the US and I always wanted to dive deeper into it, though I didn’t have the chance for a consistent practice. In 2006, following my retirement from the Navy, I began my regular daily yoga practice. In 2008 and 2009, I completed 500 hours of training in Hatha Yoga in Nasik, India (www.yogapoint.com) with my teacher Dr. Vishwas Mandlik. In 2014 and 2016, I completed 500 hours of training in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, along with 200 hours in Yoga Therapy, in Mysore, India (www.mysoreashtanga.net) with my teacher Dr. Ramesh Shetty. I have been teaching Yoga daily since 2008. Since 2016, I have been deepening my knowledge in kinesiology and its application in the practice of Asanas and Pranayama.
In 2006 and 2007, I completed Swedish, Sports, and Ayurvedic massage courses at NHS (www.nhs.gr), as well as studies in anatomy, pathology, and physiology, 900 hours in total. In 2007, I completed my first training in Thai Massage at Sunshine House (www.thaimassage.gr) with my teacher Taki Oikonomou (Krisnhataki). Until 2010, I continued attending workshops as a student, teacher's assistant, and instructor at Sunshine House. Since 2012, I have been organizing Thai Massage seminars mainly in Athens, Greece.
I am actively involved in spreading and protecting the Tradition of Yoga and I have the honor to be the President of the Hellenic Yoga Association.
