Anastasis Tzanis • Yoga Teacher . Author . Health Consultant

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is incredibly knowledgable about the breath. I’ve been teaching yoga for quite a few years and have learnt a lot from him as well as his book Breathing for Yoga. His knowledge goes well beyond wellness trends and deep into the physiology of breathing and how to optimise it for better mental and physical health. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Been practising with Anastasis for a few months now - tremendous progress in my handstands, all thanks to his personalised approach that helped me find my way of doing things!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Anastasis' beginner group handstand classes for a few months now. He is super knowledgeable and experienced and his passion for his craft shines through! He is a patient and supportive coach and can quickly identify any weakness and provide personalised drills to address these. This specific feedback and programming is hugely beneficial for handstand training and I've seen plenty of improvement!

Fantastic experience: Anastasis Is a fantastic teacher. Hugely knowledgable and able to adapt to all levels of experience. He’s a joy to work with and really focuses on giving targeted feedback so you can keep improving. I’ve really enjoyed my sessions with Anastasis and would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Trained in Oxygen Advantage Yoga with Anastasis. Very deep knowledge, warm and helpful. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great class. I learnt so much about the science behind breathing and I believe this will help me to develop my skills as a trainee yoga teacher

Fantastic experience: Excellent Course, covered everything that I wanted, the teaching was great and Anastasis and Peter were available to ask questions the whole way through. Would recommend for people interested in the science of optimum breathing. Thank you Oxygen Advantage.

Fantastic experience: Love love this class. Anastasis is an amazing teacher. Unique workshop style class. I always leave having learnt something really practical to improve my yoga, and more broadly my health. Time is given to break down, explore and practice more complicated poses, and you are also encouraged to take ownership and chose what you want to practice. Really personable and fun, could not recommend this yoga class any more highly.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is a great teacher. He is highly skilled in a number of different techniques and approaches - yoga, pilates, breathwork, nutrition, strength training. It's rare to have a teacher that is knowledgeable in so many areas and it means he can direct you towards what is most helpful for you. He won't waste your time with things you don't need to do. He will help you to build on the things you already do and create a routine that works for you. One of the best things about him as a teacher is that he encourages you to step back and carefully look at what you are doing, and perhaps approach it in a different way. I learned a lot from discussing things with him as well as from training with him.

Fantastic experience: I approached Anastasis as I needed to train for a new physical puppetry job and I wanted to learn more about fitness. Anastasis tailored our sessions to work the relevant areas I would need, particularly focusing on how I could protect my lower back and grow core strength. He also taught me daily exercises I could do at home and in the gym to condition my body. I had never even heard of the reformer machine before, but it is such an impressive piece of kit and can practically do anything! Anastasis was so knowledgeable and explained the reasons why we were doing something every step of the way. Having known very little about conditioning and strength building before, I feel like I have learnt so much in just three sessions. A personal highlight was being able to contact Anastasis incredibly easily when I had questions about specific exercises, and he got back to me straight away. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Very good class - Anastasis is very professional and knowledgeable. His classes are well structured and he pays attention to adjust the exercises to ensure progression of his students. I highly recommend - probably one of the best class in the area.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is such a great teacher. He gave a comprehensive introduction to me on reformer Pilates and he is very knowledgeable, attentive and tailored the whole course to my physical strength and my life style. Its very pleasant to talk to him as well. I won’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants to try reformers.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is super knowledgeable and training with him is super fun. I cannot recommend him enough

Fantastic experience: I learned a lot with Anastasis in the Oxygen Advantage for Yoga course! I especially loved his integrative approach bringing multiple disciplines together, from yoga, pilates, anatomy, science and so much more! Thank you Anastasis!

Fantastic experience: The reformer Pilates sessions that I have done with Anastasis were amazing, Anastasis is very very experienced and has also been very helpful during a nutrition session that I have had with him in which he is very skilled as

Fantastic experience: This is the course I’ve been looking for! There is so much information on breathing out there but I’ve found nothing practical like this! What are the most important steps to improve your day to day breathing? Finally I got a program answering that question. Anastasis is one of the most knowledgable breath guides out there. In this course I love how he combines postural/body AND breathing excercises. The layout of the course is very straight forward with just the right amount of content not to be overwhelming. Anastasis instructions are clear and the videos are just the right length to keep your focus. In the end you get two proposed easy-to-follow programs to develop a regular practice. You can rest assure that Anastasis has both the science background and skills for this work. Thank you Anastasis for putting this simple yet potent program out there!

Fantastic experience: Not only is Anastasis an excellent (and very funny!) yoga teacher in terms of being able to get the results you want, he's also very knowledgeable about breath work which has been invaluable to me. Ive learnt to do inversions with Anastasis that I never thought I'd be able to do. He has an extensive knowledge of specific exercises to help you acheive results whether that be a forearm stand, a wheel or touching your toes. He's also great at responding to queries and will go as far as to reply with a video response Best teacher - thank you Anastasis!!

Fantastic experience: I have been taking Reformer classes with Anastasis at Urban Pilates Hoxton now for a couple months. It was my first time attending such classes and he had been absolutely amazing in building my confidence and love for it. My strength and flexibility has improved drastically in such a short space of time due to his extensive knowledge and attentive teaching. I look forward so much to my classes with him every week and will recommend them to anyone who will listen! Thank you so much Anastasis!!!

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is one of the yoga teachers I have followed for over 10 years. He has a unique style of teaching which has challenged my perception of a yoga practice. He always inspires me to push myself beyond what I believe I can do on the mat but with the all-so -familiar steadiness and ease. I have practiced yoga for over 15 years , and yet he makes a Warrior 1 feel like a brand new experience. If you want to take your practice to a new level and learn a lot , his classes are invaluable!

Fantastic experience: Breathe Right takes the confusion out of breath work. This course is very clear, easy to follow and effective at doing the most important thing - calming your mind so you feel good. The exercises are a huge bonus - very well thought out, challenging and invigorating. I did the breath work and exercises a number of times on a recent transatlantic flight - you can do this anywhere - landed feeling refreshed and ready to go!!!

Fantastic experience: Anastasis has a rare mixture of knowledge, experience and skills on healthy diet, exercising and breathing together with a kind personality and an original interest for his customers. I learnt a lot and achieved much more during our cooperation. I cannot suggest more his dietician, exercise, and overall wellness coaching services that I have used.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis’s Breath Right 5 day program is a fantastic mix of postural stretching and strengthening exercises that I found helped to ease upper neck and shoulder tension. As my spine started to gain more flexibility, it was nice to feel the shift in my diaphragm movement whilst practicing the breathing exercises!

Fantastic experience: I first met Anastasis at my teacher training when he came in to deliver his breath work workshop. His knowledge and expertise in this field really made an impression on me, and ever since that day, I have always paid attention to my breathing and what I learned that day. Since then, I've noticed a lot of improvement in my daily breathing but also in my training and yoga practice. I've just completed his 5-day workshop and loved it. It was informative and easy to follow, and I am now looking forward to continuing his daily routine. I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve or bring more awareness to the way they breathe.. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I enrolled in “Breathing for Yoga OA“ with Anastasis because I had taken a series of Buteyko classes and I wanted to know how to adapt (and teach) functional breathing exercises for Yoga and other movement practises. Now I can teach breath-work (including pranayama) with confidence and I understand the science (and effects) behind what I am teaching. I found Anastasis to be a deeply knowledgable, generous and encouraging teacher.

Fantastic experience: I have attended Anastasis's "Breathwork For Yoga Training" and it was such a valuable learning process for me as a Yoga Instructor. Through the training I learned how to cleverly apply effective breathing method during yoga practice to achieve certain outcome that I desire for my students. The best take away from the course is definitely the in depth understanding of the science behind our Breathing and the TRUE essence of why Breathwork & Yoga IS THE key to better health. Anastasis is a dedicated educators and practitioner and his passion on the subject matter truly inspired me!

Fantastic experience: I am teaching and educating now over a decade yoga - focused on (pro-) athletes. Breath is and always was a big part of the education and practice. With this education you will understand the intepretation of breath from a scientic view and understand that misinterpretation has been continously delivered from teachers to teachers to students and so on. But now with this knowledge you cannot misunderstand what the old writings meant and how important it is not to keep it as a secret, but on the contrary spread this also around kids and adults. Breath is so obvious and still we need education to understand. Thank you Anastasis for teaching us, sharing your knowledge and always and anytime answering our questions.

Fantastic experience: I came to Anastasis looking for help on my breathing due to my diagnosis of OSA and my problems with sleep, as well as chronic muscle tightness and pain. My case is rather special because of the complicated nature of these things, and I have spoken with several specialist. Anastasis proved to have both the knowledge, and the experience, not only of the physical capacity, but also the mental side as well. He's a true master of the human body, he's honest, and direct. He has most certainly been a big help for me in my path to healing, and I am currently still checking in with him for advice as things continue to develop and change, and I feel fortunate to be able to have someone like him in my corner for this journey... I feel he can be a tremendous help to a lot of people, not just me. His knowledge and experience have the capacity to help others heal and advance, this is a fact.

Fantastic experience: I've been practicing yoga for over a decade, and during that decade I've acumulated questions that had not been able to be answered in an objective/scientific way since now. I am beyond grateful for the experience and clarity on the information that was shared during this training. I believe there is so much to learn from Pranayama and Asana but there is also a need to question and adjust the practice to modern day practitioners, Anastasis does a great work finding the right balance between both sides. I'm so grateful for all the knowledge shared. Thank you! Mara Valencia

Fantastic experience: Anastasis uses his wealth of knowledge & experience to train yoga teachers on how to infuse the power of breathwork into their teachings. His science-based program balances & beautifully compliments the eastern philosophies & teachings I've gained in my more traditional yoga trainings. He sees functional breathing as foundational to the continuum of other breathwork techniques. Anastasis embodies the mindset of a true yogi: a beginner who never stops!

Fantastic experience: My mornings always begin with way more motivation and uplifting energy after I do my classes with Anastatis. Anastatis has not only changed the way I feel and look- he has also shown me a whole new ‘way of life’. From learning how to BREATHE in any given situation, to challenging my body/mind the way it needs to be- Anastatis is the ideal teacher for anyone who needs that extra ‘push’ to get going and to keep a good habit in place. I’ve gone from dreading exercise to loving it and seeing it in a whole different perspective - it’s been years and I’m still enjoying it :)

Fantastic experience: I found this 14 day course incredibly useful l. I was very surprised with how much my hamstrings opened up. I learned a lot oabout the associated muscles that I also needed to work on the release my hamstrings.

Fantastic experience: The 2 week Breathe Right course is seriously good value for money for anyone wanting to improve their day to day breathing and learn how to build CO2 tolerance over time. It's in short bites of information and practice each day so is easy to fit into your day, and gives the understanding needed to make sense of the practices. As a huge bonus, Anastasis answers any questions you have which is pretty awesome for a course at this price, particularly as he has such a good knowledge of breathing practices and yoga so has a more holistic approach than many breathing coaches. Even though I had been working with my breath for a couple of months prior to discovering the course it opened me up to some really key things I had missed and has made a big difference for me.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis continues to deliver really qualitative content. Breathing still seems to be an underrated practice these days, yet its benefits are numerous, and starting a self-practice can be intimidating. With this simple, yet information rich two week course, Anastasis manages to give us the foundations to continue our own practice, and to understand the effects of various exercises on the body, as well as to grow more familiar with chemical reactions occurring within as we breathe in different ways. Self-awareness is times and times again linked to happiness, and a breathing practice is a gentle way to begin looking inwards, understanding the body and noting various aspects of our physical and emotional responses. It’s designed smartly - very time efficient and something to be tailored on the long run, and provides information grounded in science. Value for money is really good, and I cannot recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: I did a 14 day online prerecorded breathing workshop with Anastasis. It is obvious that Anastasis is a very knowledgable and experienced breath coach. The workshop consisted of one daily email containing the link to one theory and one practice YouTube video. The videos were brief and to the point. Anastasis managed to condense and present the most important information on breathing right in his theory clips and give a good selection and overview of breathing exercises in his practice ones. Each daily session was about 6-7 minutes long; no excuse not to fit it in! By the end I noticed a marked improvement in my breathing, mood and sleep. I highly recommend working with Anastasis.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis infuses a great blend of knowledge and energy in his teaching. I learned things about breathing that I have never known about or thought to observe before participating in this course. The directions for exercises are very simple and clear. His voice is so pleasant and centering. And I love that each exercise is less less than 10 minutes (some even shorter) as it makes it manageable to incorporate into my morning routine before beginning my work for the day. I will definitely be making these exercises a part of my daily routine!

Fantastic experience: I started practicing yoga 6 months ago out of desperation. Despite or because of a lot of physical activity - cycling and hiking - I was suffering from chronic back and joint pain. I chose Anastasis after watching YouTube clips of several of Londons "best" instructors. My partner and I have been taking private ZOOM classes with Anastasis twice a week since June, and we supplement them with short morning routines that Anastasis regularly updates to assist us with where we are in the evolution of our practice, and any musculoskeletal limitations we are experiencing. I'm astonished not only by how much my yoga practice has advanced in six months with Anastasis, but also by the virtual elimination of the progressively worse back and joint pain I dad been experiencing in recent years. 50 km cycle rides, 10 Km strenuous hikes, even a 1,000 km car ride - NO problem! Anastasis is a superb instructor - great technically, passionate about what he does, and enjoyable to be with. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I had some really annoying low back pain a couple months ago, which are gone now after a daily little exercise session that Anastasis Tzanis suggested me to do! Really helpful instructor! Thanks a lot!!!

Fantastic experience: I did online training with Anastasis for handstands. I did practice handstands for many years now, here and there, but latest I haven't given the attention it needed for my HS practice. Anastasis is an awesome teacher with deep knowledge in handstands and inversions in general. He helped me from day 1 to correct my alignment and get back into shape and in 1week my alignment was by far better ( for a reason I was piking too much). We fixed this and some other little issues that came up in the meantime. In addition now my chances of successfully holding a handstand are higher, something that I was struggling with when I was practising alone for years

Fantastic experience: I suffered with a radial nerve injury for months. Tried various physios and experts but made no progress. Started working with Anastasis and just a few weeks in I started to feel progress. Not only is he an expert in fitness, flexibility, yoga, breath work and nutrition, he’s also very generous with his knowledge. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is an excellent yoga teacher and inversion coach. I cannot recommend enough his group classes, workshops and private sessions. I had been practicing yoga for over a decade on and off when I met Anastasis. I had even completed couple yoga teacher trainings and taught for a short while. However, my practice was terribly lacking of technic and strength. As a result my practice was not evolving. When I started to have private sessions with Anastasis, I wanted to improve my practice in general and especially my backbends and forearm stand. Anastasis has been teaching me for over a year forearm stand along with other things. His teaching via private sessions, workshops, group classes has provided me technic/method and very useful tips which have transformed my practice. Anastasis’ approach is holistic and pragmatic. His teaching of inversions includes technic, breathing, nutrition and mental training (focus, awareness). While training with Anastasis I have: - worked in developing my strength and this is now an on-going process in my practice; - become more aware of my breathing and how to use it when inverting; - learned to set goals in my practice and commit to it in order to evolve: - changed my diet; - managed to establish and commit to a daily home practice. This is something I have never managed to commit before meeting Anastasis; - been learning on working on active flexibility and not only relying on passive flexibility; - learnt to go back to foundation and making sure to nail the foundation first before inverting or practicing something advanced: - been learning the hard way to train with quality and mental focus and not frantically. This has been a major turn in my practice . As a result my yoga practice and notably my forearm stand has fairly recently become more consistent instead of being just random. I am now starting to work on handstand with Anastasis along with my forearm stand training using all I have learnt so far from his coaching in inverting.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined one of Anastasis yoga/breath work combination workshops. Anastasis does a great job weeding through the science and applying theory into a practise. Not only that, Anastasis stays on top of the science and like any good practitioner first practises what he preaches. Which provides great comfort as a student. He puts great time and thought into the design of the workshop and you will come away from it with at least a couple of key applicable take homes.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis gave a really thorough workshop teaching you according to what you want to learn, and gave brilliant support during the ice bath experience. I felt in good hands and would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Well to be given the confidence to do a headstand was something I have being doing vinyasa classes for 2 years but with just a 2 hour workshop with the amazing Anastasis I now have the confidence and know-how to turn upside with skill and confidence and two hours in the ‘flying bank’ as he like to call it. Can’t wait for the next workshop.

Fantastic experience: I went to Anastasis arm balance workshop and it was brilliant. He is a very engaging teacher and very approachable. In two hours I learnt so many things that I could take away with me and work on to help me improve my inversions. There were variations to arm and leg placement in headstand and crow I’ve never seen before, so it was really exciting to try something new.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is brilliant - as far as technical aspects go, he can spot what you might want to improve, he knows how to help you get there and he will help you get there. I have been practising yoga for quite a few years and have practised with multiple teachers all over the world - I can recommend Anastasis, no second thoughts!

Fantastic experience: Anastasis has helped me enormously in improving my yoga, and in particular building up the strength and flexibility in my shoulders to recover from a long standing injury which was holding me back. He has identified where I need to improve my flexibility and his exercise routines really work. Whatever your level of yoga practice I'm sure Anastasis would help you get further on your journey. Namaste.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is an incredibly talented yoga instructor. I have been practicing yoga for many years and within a few months of working with him I was able to master postures I had never been able to achieve before. He is very thoughtful in how he structures sessions and is excellent at personalising yoga practice to meet individual needs. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: I've been on my fitness journey for more than 5 years. I wish I'd met Anastasis earlier in the process. His one-on-one training is exactly what I had been looking for in a yoga & mobility trainer - and never found. He gives practical explanations, a real sense of challenge and progression. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: By far my favourite yoga teacher. I have also done one of the weekend workshops and was brilliant. Pushes you to do the best you can do, yoga class different every time (not the exact same sequence), teaches new skills (head stands, arm balances, etc.). Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic session with Anastasis. Great teacher. Great methods. I have learned a lot in those 3 hours and feeli cam take this home with me in my own practice. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is a very knowledgeable and experienced teacher. For anyone interested in Ice training and incorporating WHM breathing into their routine, his workshops are the best. The day was clearly structured and he made every exercise accessible for beginners and more advanced students. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is knowledgable and passionate, with a grounded approach to this interesting breathing technique. I very much appreciated his approach to sharing the science behind it and a measured understanding of it's potential. Although I have had some experience doing the 10 week WHM course, I certainly learned a lot from Anastasis and would really encourage anyone interested in the Wim Hof Method / Sports Science / Yoga to give one of his classes a try.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is a brilliant teacher. Extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of asana and pranyama. He structures his classes really well and gets a good balance between flow, finding time to focus on more advanced postures, and breathwork. He always finds time for arm balances and inversions which is great for students' development. Thanks Anastasis!

Fantastic experience: I started practising yoga with Anastasis. it's has been 8 months now. He knows most of the people in his classes, giving us all different options with some of the poses to help us improve. This made me going back all that months and result was amazing which I surprised myself:) . After each class I felt calmer and relax i think that's what we all looking to have in London stress free life. Thanks for all your hard work Anastasis.

Fantastic experience: I have been training under Anastasis for just over a year now, and I can honestly say Anastasis classes have provided me with a new surge of enthusiasm for developing and improving my own yoga practice. As a yoga teacher myself, it's usually hard to find a teacher that challenges you in the areas you need to improve, but Anastasis classes are unorthodox, dynamic and challenging, with no two classes the same, I find myself learning something new every practice. This has inspired to be more exciting and unconventional in my own teaching style.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is an excellent yoga teacher. I progressed more in the first 6 months of going to Anastasis's classes than I had in the previous 3 years. His classes are challenging-just the right amount to push both strength and flexibility-and delivered in a kind and warm manner and with helpful adjustments that make you realise what your body is capable of. As someone who is not naturally flexible or fearless I can now nearly do front splits and have been working towards handstand. I couldn't recommended Anastasis more.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Anastasis for almost 2 years and the improvements I've achieved in his classes are significant. If anyone is aiming to improve in inversions in a quick and efficient way then here's the best place. Thanks to him for my perfect headstand posture.

Fantastic experience: I have known Anastasis and trained handstands with him for almost a year now. As a personal trainer myself, I know what it takes to work with individuals of different skills and levels, and I must say that Anastasis has an incredible capacity and an expert teaching technique. He is both very intuitive and knowledgable but more than anything, he is passionate about what he does, whether it is handstands, yoga or nutrition. I have grown and evolved miles under his guidance and I highly recommend him to everybody who needs conditioning and inspiration in these fields.

Fantastic experience: I had a session with Anastasis to work on my handstands. He is very knowledgeable and helped me to understand the correct technique. The exercises he gave me have been really helpful. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their handstands.

Fantastic experience: I have no hesitation recommending Anastasis. He is very knowledgeable about all things health related and I find his advice inspiring and thought provoking. He has really helped my practice out of sight by encouraging and supporting me to try new things and realise that I can do it! I enjoy the variety and being able to practice in a supportive and not overly serious environment too.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is an amazing teacher, he gives great honest feedback which is essential for development. He welcomes new students and adapts practice for each student. He understands his students level and gives direction to suit individual needs. Anastasis teaches me yoga and handstand classes and I have progressed significantly in both of these since being in his classes.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis leads a deeply thought and deeply satisfying practice, forever communicating the ideas and knowledge on which it is based, always searching for more, warm and humane, demanding but also able to adapt to the individual's needs. As an older man with some mobility problems, I've found the personal attention he's given me has enabled me to release movement no other teacher has come close to doing. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Well recommended, Anastasis offers an inspiring approach that's open, warm and welcoming. He's skilled, informative and supportive, guiding a holistic healthy yogic practice for life.

Fantastic experience: Good guy, top instructor and super-knowledgeable in nutrition. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: Anastasis is excellent, practical and expert advice on nutrition, and high quality yoga tuition. Great guy, with a great insight. Thanks Anastasis!
