Om Shanti Tribe
History
Om Shanti means: peace within me, peace within you, peace everywhere.
Tribe means: group. Circle. Community. Tribe.
We are the tribe of peace.
The Om Shanti Tribe was born from a deep need.
A need to return to the body, to the breath, to the very essence of the Human being.
It all began in 2018 with the founding of the Om Shanti Yoga & Pilates Academy, a school created at a time when yoga was flourishing and people were eager to train and deepen their path. To belong!
As one of the few who taught yoga teacher training programs in Athens, with years of experience and a long-standing presence in the field, in major studios across the city, I felt then that something new was coming.
However, life is full of upheavals. Then came the pandemic. The quarantines and lockdowns. The repeated closures of our space and the subsequent restarts.
Fear and insecurity prevailed, teams of collaborators constantly changed, and life as we knew it was falling apart.
Yet a vision, when deeply rooted, is never weakened.
On the contrary, through these upheavals and a personal journey full of challenges, revisions, and reorganizations, something deeper and more meaningful was born:
The Om Shanti Tribe.
VISION
For there to be peace outside, there must first be peace within us.
And in order to come into peace, now more than ever, we need to reconnect with our innate intelligence.
One that we have had since the beginning of time and tend to lose, being addicted to the modern way of life and the waste of our precious time in front of a screen.
We live in an era where technology is not just a tool, but a way of being.
As a result, we become increasingly disconnected from our body, our breath, our thoughts. From grounding.
Bombarded with information that we do not experience, but merely imagine.
Alienated. Emotionally charged. ALONE.
The Om Shanti Tribe was created as a counterbalance.
As an antidote to the reckless use of technology.
A community of people who meet in person, live: on the mat, on the aerial silk, on the Pilates reformer, in the breath.
A space where movement has meaning, connection is genuine, and knowledge is experience.
A second home, where technology exists, but does not dominate.
WHO WE ARE
Here we acknowledge our needs.
Here we remember what it means to be human.
Here we remain human.
Through our series of classes, workshops, trainings, articles, and continuous interaction, we create a moving community.
We are not an impersonal gym. Nor just another studio.
But a new and at the same time timeless challenge.
More relevant and urgent than ever.
One that encourages us to return to ourselves, to ground ourselves in our bodies, and to join something greater and more meaningful.
Because the change we seek in the world begins with us.
And we are no longer alone.
We are here.
A circle of friends. A team. A breath.
A tribe.
