Your facilitator
We have come to know Sarah through her blog STIL, in her own words “her happy place of inspired living”, where she shared her passion of organics, whole food, inspirational people and lifestyle tips. After a terrible bout of shingles in 2012 Sarah decided to make some serious lifestyle changes. With the creation of her blog Sarah was able to spend many hours researching and learning the best foods, ingredients and keys to success for a happy, healthy family.

Vassia has a background in marketing and events. Having worked for luxury brands in fashion and beauty in Athens, London and Auckland for over 15 years, she has a keen eye for detail and knows what makes a good event – its people. Her journey with yoga started in 2012 and although back then it was only a form of exercise for her, with time she found that the practice has offered her so much more in her wellness journey. And of course as a true Greek, what she loves the most is bringing people together. So just like this Koukoulee was born two years ago.
