xenoyoga is founded by myself Smaragda Xenofou (don’t worry Sam will do) and originally from Greece I moved to Exeter in 1996 to complete my studies in industrial building design after completing my engineering degree in Athens. I found the Iyengar Yoga method initially in the teachings of Gerry Chambers and Lynda Purvis when I moved to Bristol and I have been practicing ever since with various senior iyengar yoga teachers form the UK and India. I am now qualified at Intermediate 2 and currently preparing for my Intermediate 3 qualification. I live permanently in Redland, Bristol with my husband and two young children, working in the design company I co-own with my husband, teaching weekly yoga classes and workshops and also organizing yoga holidays on my home island of Zakynthos in Greece every year.
