Testimonials
It was a privilege to work with Irèni Stamou during my stay in Costa Rica. Her classes were amazing, and the bodywork she does is truly transformative. She is incredibly perceptive and intuitive, and in our first session, she completely changed my lower back. I wish she lived in New York so I can see her more often.

I have had the good fortune of spending focused healing time with Irèni. Our sessions have been both one-on-one and in a group setting. Together we have explored and stretched my capacity to let go and be truly present in the moment. Her experience, wisdom, and ability to guide vocally continuously led me to a safe, deeply relaxed and reflective state. I find her work transformational.

Irèni is kind, present, and compassionate. She beautifully integrates the physical with the spiritual, truly embodying what people talk about about the mind-body connection. She's so much more than a body worker or yoga instructor.
She's a healer.

The guidance you did today was so beautiful; I really loved how you set that up; when we went into silence, still dancing, I was unexpectedly overcome with emotion; you have a very intuitive way of working. You always seem to know exactly what to say, as if you are picking up on the energy even through the online ether. Thank You.

I have been blessed to attend private and group sessions with Ms. Irèni Stamou. Irèni’s kind and gentle nature made it easy for me to surrender to somatic flow movements safely. Irèni's integrity and dedication to educating and empowering her students is truly the next level. Her dance sessions exude harmonious movements and a developed sense of rhythm. Musically, her DJ abilities Rock!

My bamboo yoga class on the beach with Irèni Stamou created ripples of bliss within, and an astonishing sense of peace and strength washed over me like cool, clear waves leaving me feeling energized, restored, and rejuvenated”. I can’t wait to take Irèni's retreat in Costa Rica.

"I've had the opportunity to try Ireni's online Dance Movement Medicine and Chair/Barre Yoga - both are so much fun! I also really love that Ireni offers opportunities to self-reflect and truly practice mindfully during her classes. Additionally, her presence is calm. Overall, she provides a wonderful experience for the body, mind and spirit: alignment, stretching and strengthening are all interwoven seamlessly with yogic wisdom and knowledge in her classes. I love her teaching style."

Restorative Aerial Yoga with Irèni was one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had in my life. I can't recommend this experience enough.

Thank you so much for the introduction to Restorative aerial yoga. Irèni is a superb instructor. I challenged myself and let go and was able to fly. Beautiful

Irèni offered a truly unique Eco Yoga experience where a handful of us meditated next to the waterfalls and practiced yoga postures supported by thick tree vines! Thank you for the opportunity to deepen my practice in a wonderful part of the earth.

If anyone is looking for a really great movement practice ( gentle yoga, somatic movement, dance movement, etc.) Irèni has been an amazing teacher that I have been practicing with for the last few months. She has a great ability to modify classes for us students and make us feel seen and heard even though we're the online zoom format. The consistency of three classes per week ++ at home has been so beneficial to me.

It is the first time I could sustain a regular weekly yoga practice for such an extended period of time, 1:1 online. Irèni is a gifted teacher, healer and listener whose knowledge, wisdom, gentle compassion, and deep intuition are just the right little bit of magic I needed in my healing journey. Irèni has the gift to recognize what one needs in a given moment and offer a customized practice that caters to those needs.

I can't sing the praises enough about Irèni Movement Arts. Irèni Stamou is a talented instructor, supportive of helping one adjust to their own body (and injuries!) and fun to boot! I have attended two of her outdoor retreats at the Indian River location and plan to do more.
