Vangelis Varis

Vangelis was born in Athens, Greece, and the last 17 years he lives in the island of Evia with his family. He was introduced to the oriental arts through Tai Chi and Yoga, after that, it was easy to flow with the beauty of Thai Yoga massage. At the Sunshine House, he met his first, and very special teacher and mentor, (Krishna)Takis, who has been a strong influence since 2009. Many other amazing teachers came his way and shaped his practice: David Lutt, Arno L’Hermitte, Rosemary Wallach, Felicity Joy, Gabriele Schüers, Pau Castellsague, and Itzhak Helman. Always been a student, yet with some of them, I have also been an assistant and therapist in their courses since 2012 around Greece and abroad (Vienna, Zurich, and more). Other techniques that have greatly influenced him are OsteoThai, Chi Nei Chang, Craniosacral therapy, and Lomi-Lomi massage. Since 2016, deeply inspired by the scientific western approach of Osteopathy, he has begun a new journey at SICO (Swiss International College of Osteopathy), which has provided him with a unique touch in his treatments and further on, his teaching at his own seminars. Vangelis seeks to heal through massage and music sounds. To achieve it, he attends polyphony and dancing classes and is also a musician- he loves percussion, while his latest passion is santur, thus indulging in greek-eastern traditional melodies and rhythms, along with the music bands “Fistiki Saloni” and “Eziak”.
