These are the instructors that will be teaching your classes in 2025. Each and every one of them is highly skilled and experienced, but just as important: they are always friendly and approachable.
Alex - Manager and Yoga Teacher
Did you know….Alex previously went on a Healthy Options holiday as a guest in 2015!
She enjoyed it so much she set herself the goal to work for us one day. 2025 will be her 9th season with us, her 5th as Manager. She lives full time in Vassiliki and still LOVES working at healthy Options.
Alex was a professional dancer back in the day, she then went on to be a TV exec and when the right time came, she trained to be a yoga instructor in Athens, followed by some time in India to become an RYT600 qualified Yoga Instructor, Reflexologist and Reiki Practitioner. She has 100s of hours of international teaching experience now, including leading on a Yoga Teacher Training Course.
Her specialities are Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow and Yin. She also enjoys holding Nidra, Restorative, Meditation, Pranayama and Relaxation classes and inspiring others to improve mobility, wellness and commit to long term health goals. She is an avid SUP Yoga instructor.
Alex’s teaching style is fun with the intent to guide guests into staying mobile and strong far into the future.
“As I evolve, I just want to be able to move freely and ensure others can too. I find my classes are more safety and mobility focused now, but I still enjoy creating that balance of calmness and power when I teach, and I allow my dance background to influence my classes in part. I want my students to leave feeling energised and happy!”
Alex will be available for the entire season
Stefanie - Yoga teacher
Stef is one of our Yoga Teachers and we are welcoming her back for her fourth season at Healthy Options! Her journey with yoga began over five years ago with training in Guatemala, followed by a globe-trotting adventure that allowed her to share her practice and gain experience across borders.
Stef’s teaching embraces all levels and styles, from deeply restorative sessions to more dynamic Hatha and Vinyasa flow. This year, she brings even more depth to her offerings with her newly completed Breathwork Facilitator training from Loka Yoga School. She will be weaving this knowledge into her classes and sound healing experiences, creating a powerful and holistic approach to well-being.
She describes her teaching as a creative exploration of yoga, blending mindfulness, philosophy, alignment, and subtle energy work.
“Returning to Healthy Options for another season feels like coming home. I’m so grateful to continue sharing my passion for yoga, breathwork, and sound healing with this incredible community. My intention is to create a space where you can reconnect with yourself, find balance, and leave feeling empowered and at peace."
Stefanie will be available for the entire season
Maria - Fitness Teacher
We are thrilled to welcome Maria back for her second year with the Healthy Options team, bringing even more expertise and energy to our community. Maria’s journey in teaching and travel began in 2010, and over the years, she has built a wealth of experience, spending winters running retreats and coaching fitness in the French Alps, and summers leading a wide variety of fitness and holistic classes.
As a highly experienced Yoga, Pilates and multi-disciplinary Fitness professional, Maria’s diverse qualifications allow us to offer an extensive range of Fitness classes, infused with her signature high-energy, fun and engaging style.
"Having worked in holiday environments for many years, Maria knows how to keep sessions both enjoyable and effective, helping participants get the most out of every workout. “After teaching worldwide, I settled in Vass a few years ago, and I’m incredibly excited to return for another year with the Healthy team, continuing to contribute to its fitness community.”
Maria’s approach remains focused on creating a positive and uplifting environment: "My aim is to ensure everyone leaves with a smile, feeling fantastic—but I expect you to bring the sweat and a little grit along the way!"
