Golden Sun Yoga
Welcome to Golden Sun Yoga
Golden Sun Yoga is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and cultivate awareness through movement, breathing and meditation.
Guided by Kyriaki, the practice draws inspiration from Yoga and Qigong, bringing together flowing movement, gentle strengthening and moments of stillness.
The approach is gentle and exploratory, with space to recognise your limits, respond to your needs and practise without pressure to achieve demanding postures.
Rather than focusing on performance, each session invites curiosity, sensitivity and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
A space to move, breathe and discover what it means to be present.
Movement & Yoga
Slowing down gives us space to listen.
Through gentle, attentive movement, we begin to notice how our body feels, where we hold tension and what allows us to move with greater ease.
Kyriaki combines flowing movements inspired by Qigong and Taoist practices with gentle strengthening and elements of traditional Hatha and Kundalini yoga.
We mobilise the joints, stretch, engage and soften the muscles, inviting warmth and vitality into areas that feel stiff or inactive.
The breath connects movement with awareness.
We allow it to guide our pace and notice how it changes as we move. A held breath or a sense of strain becomes an invitation to soften the effort, adjust or pause.
The intention is to slow down and listen, although some moments can be dynamic and energising.
As our attention deepens, we become more sensitive to both clear and subtle sensations: tension, warmth, trembling, discomfort or release.
We learn to recognise our limits, respond to pain with care and give ourselves permission to rest.
With practice, this listening becomes part of how we move in our daily life.
We develop strength and mobility while cultivating curiosity, kindness and trust in our ability to respond to the body.
Movement becomes a meditative practice, a space to feel more fully and deepen our connection with ourselves.
Each group session also includes conscious breathing, moments of meditation and a period of final relaxation, allowing time to rest and integrate the practice.
Conscious Breathing & Meditation
In dedicated group sessions, we explore our breathing and how it relates to our physical, emotional and mental state.
We begin with the natural breath, noticing its rhythm, where we feel it and habits such as holding it or breathing with unnecessary effort.
We also explore breathwork and pranayama, a yogic practice of consciously working with the breath and vital energy.
Through observation and guided techniques, we notice how changes in rhythm, depth and pace affect our experience, recognising effort and distinguishing between calming and energising practices.
Kyriaki’s experience with Buddhist mindfulness meditation and Vipassana also informs this approach, encouraging us to observe sensations, thoughts and emotions with openness and equanimity.
The natural breath offers a point of return as we learn to remain present without immediately reacting to what arises.
Kyriaki’s Approach
Kyriaki’s approach grows from years of personal practice and inner exploration.
Yoga, Qigong, Taoist practices and Traditional Chinese Medicine inform her understanding of the body and energy.
Her meditation practice is rooted particularly in Buddhist mindfulness and Vipassana, which nurture attentive observation, compassion and equanimity.
Her Greek roots bring another meaningful dimension. Ancient Greek mythology, philosophy and symbolism inspire her connection with nature, the elements, transformation and the search for understanding ourselves.
These influences shape the way she teaches: with curiosity, sensitivity and respect for each person’s experience.
She invites you to explore what you feel, recognise your limits and discover a way of practising that feels honest and responsive to your needs.
For Kyriaki, practice is also a way of learning how to meet life, with greater awareness, kindness and a willingness to keep discovering.
Let the practice become part of how you live
The awareness we cultivate through movement, breath and stillness can reach beyond our sessions, into how we listen to ourselves, respond to difficulty and relate to others.
