Teacher Feature: Demetra Kentrotas, pt. 1

Another week... another teacher added to the roster -- lets welcome Demetra Kentrotas to the squad. 

Demetra made herself familiar with the Vicyasa™ community teaching during our outdoor in-person sessions, but now she'll take her teachings in-front of the camera and onto the virtual platform. 

Get to know Demetra with part-one of her 'Teacher Feature':

QUESTION: What is your favorite yoga pose/why?  

DEMETRA: "Parsvottonasana (pyramid pose) is amazing at any point of class because you can anchor yourself while easing into a forward bend and balance challenge. It's a pose I can stay in for a while and explore new points of sensation every time. My hamstrings need all the love they can get!"

Q: What is your least favorite pose right now/why?  

DEMETRA: "Crow pose and I are frenemies. It feels compressed and I have trouble breathing through it. Popping right up into inversions and arm balances doesn't come naturally, and I admire those who can do it."

Q: What lessons from the yoga mat have you applied off your mat?  

DEMETRA: "Take things one step at a time and stay curious- I have to remind myself about this constantly. Be gentle with yourself during transitional times, on the mat and off."

Q:  Do you have a guilty pleasure/binged watch anything etc., during quarantine?

DEMETRA: "If I'm being honest with myself, I can't live without TV. I binged the entire series of Six Feet Under and wept. I binged the entirety of Big Mouth and belly-laughed."

Q: What is your post-class meal craving?   

DEMETRA: "Trader Joe’s dried mango, I can't get enough."
