Katerina Vangelidi is an Authorised level 2 (SYC) Ashtanga teacher. She has been practicing yoga since 2007 and exclusively Ashtanga since 2014. She started by reading yoga books and watching some very early yoga videos on Yogatoday. She has studied Iyengar, Vinyasa Flow and Hatha Yoga under Haris Lyroni, Myrto Voutira and Michel Filinis respectively. She completed her 200-hr YTT Certification with the latter.

In 2013, she discovered Ashtanga Yoga and started practicing occasionally. From 2014 till 2019 she practiced almost daily with Eleftheria Lagoudaki.

She has attended seminars and classes with David Garrigues, Eddie Stern, Ty Landrum and Angela Jamison.

She has traveled to Copenhagen (2017) and Mysore, India (July 2018, December 2019, December-January 2023/24) to study under lineage holder Paramaguru R. Sharath Jois in SYC (formerly known as KPJAYI). On January 2024 he granted her the Authorisation (level 2) to teach both the Primary and Intermediate series of Ashtanga.

In the recent years, she has entrusted the supervision of her practice with Certified teacher Hamish Hendry, whom she visits in London as often as she can manage. In February and October 2023, she assisted him in the morning Mysore classes in Dharma Shala – Astanga Yoga London.
