She has also trained in the improvisation theatre ‘Playback’ and has been a founding member of the first Greek Playback group (2003). In 2013 Victoria meets John Britton and his work on physical theatre ‘the self with others’ and in 2015 she graduates from the ‘Duende School of Ensemble Physical Theatre’ (Athens).
She has also trained in the tradition of ‘Hatha Yoga’ and in ‘Ayurveda Massage’ (Kerala, India). Since 2008 Victoria teaches yoga to all ages and levels and her approach is through the relationship of the body and mind (bodymind). Her useful tool is the deep connection of the practitioner with the self in the present moment, the here and now, aiming in accepting reality as it is, so that peace, holistic health and completeness may arise. She also uses the ayurveda massage as a way of relaxation and connection of the bodymind. She has collaborated with various yoga studios, and dance schools, and has organized seminars and yoga retreats.
