"Ioannis’s pilates sessions were amazing – he is a great instructor, gentle and encouraging while offering challenging routines to those that want them. Great for all levels of ability. I found the QiGong and singing bowl sessions a special and unforgettable way to end the day." ND

"Ioannis is an expert. He runs classes in his local city of Volos and he is experienced at working with groups. I could feel this immediately. I really looked forward to every session and the smallness of the group ensured that he could give me a lot of personal attention. This was so important because I was new to pilates. Other members of the group also reached their potential no matter what their level of experience. He was able to work with a mixed group of ability with great ease." PH

"Ioannis's reflexology and massage treatments were the best I have had in many years" JN

"Ioannis was magic. His back massage released those muscles in my back that hurt and helped me to get more out of the yoga classes. He identified the places where I had had an injury in the past and soothed away the pain. He was every bit as good as my Sports Physio back home. You are so lucky to have him come to Dolphins Leap for the guests." LS
