In 2011, Martha moved in Nea Makri, Greece and she was introduced to Joseph Pilates physical fitness system, which won her over completely. She has been trained in the innovative and therapeutic method of ArtAction Pilates by Christina Polyzou, President of the Greek Pilates Association. She studied under Theoni Politi, main member and instructor of ArtAction Pilates, obtaining her certification and mastering the exercises and the philosophy of the method. Pilates and the simple, therapeutic approach of its principals, led her to pursuit further knowledge on holistic practices.
Her dancing background found a perfect match in the playful, revolutionary, and acrobatic Aerial Yoga and in 2015 she completed her training in Aerial Yoga Arts, in Grafts Hellas.
It was this knowledge that introduced her to the philosophy of the holistic practice of yoga, and seeking to learn more, she joined the NYSY studios, where she started her personal inner journey to the uniquely inspiring, dynamic and therapeutic practice of Vivi Letsou, Abhaya Yoga. A journey in the body, mind, heart, strength and fearlessness. A long journey, enjoyable and determinant.
In June 2015, she opens the Studio Body Analysis, a well-equipped studio of high aesthetic quality, open to people of all ages and physical condition, in order to share the therapeutic and beneficial effects of her training.
In the years that followed, her search for pain relief has not ceased. She has continually researched and trained in pain relief and pain management techniques of various origins, both Western and Eastern therapeutic approaches.
Her teaching approach is a blend of knowledge, experience and philosophy, which makes her effective, seamless and comprehensive, with excellent technique delivery, focused on supporting and personally developing each individual student, regardless of level and age.

At the age of about 5, she started classical ballet and then modern dance until she was 17, during which time she participated in many dance performances.
Despite her studies at the Philosophical School of Athens, she was always involved in gymnastics, looking for the sport that would interest her the most.
So, around 2019, yoga entered her life and won not only her interest but also her heart.
After 3 years as a student, her love for yoga and her need to immerse herself in it more, pushed her to become Yoga Alliance’s Yoga 200h instructor at the House of Yoga school in October 2022.
