ABOUT ILIAS KOUSIS

Ilias is a very passionate Forrest Yoga Guardian (Level 5), who quit his academic career as a Geologist to teach yoga full-time. He is currently based in Oslo, Norway, where he teaches weekly group classes, privates, workshops, teacher trainings and corporate yoga. His rich educational background in yoga includes Forrest Yoga/Vinyasa/Hatha/Yin Yoga. He is also an Energy Medicine graduate of Light Body School from Four Winds Society and offers Energy Medicine sessions.

Ilias loves to share his unique blend of Forrest Yoga and Energy Medicine healing tools combined with the expertise he has developed over years of dedicated self-practice and working with people of various backgrounds. As a consequence, he has an excellent command of physical and energetic anatomy of the human body that greatly enhances his ability to create harmonious, healing sequences that help bodies unwind and freed from physical and emotional backlog. He is adept at seeing energy in bodies, which enables him to assist individuals in a precise and effective way. His hands-on assists are mindful, gentle and aim to induce healing and to create space in the joints. Because of his constant self-work on his mindfulness, he has developed a sharp intuition and excellent energy-reading skills, which he uses to help students reconnect to their life’s purpose.

His background as a scientist has helped him weave spirituality with cutting-edge science. It also enabled him to communicate his teachings in a robust, direct and succinct way. He loves guiding his students on how to open up new doors of possibilities by connecting to their Spirit instead of living on autopilot and making decisions based on fear and past trauma.
