Georgios Argeratos
Georgios is the co-founder of The Holistic Awareness Center. He has a classical music and singing background and he holds a Bachelor’s degree in Opera Performance. His continued interest to develop his vocal technique and his performance skills in opera introduced him to the Alexander technique in The Juilliard School in New York. After he experienced a significant change in his performances and overall in his life, he decided to study the technique. 3 years and 1600 hours later he graduated from the world-famous Balance Arts Center in New York and he became a certified teacher and a member of the American Society of the Alexander Technique. During the past 11 years, Georgios has also been a music teacher and a school principal in private New York schools.
Georgios today spends his time between Miami- South Florida, New York City where you can find him teaching in Balance Arts Center, and Athens, Greece as the cofounder of The Holistic Awareness Center. He is also the creator of The HAC Mindfulness Method, which combines, among others, principles of the three techniques he teaches: 1) the kinesiologic Alexander Technique, 2) Healing Touch, a method commonly used by nurses in most of the hospitals in USA in order to offer alternative healing and relief, and 3) Breatheology, a system that promotes conscious breathing techniques that can help not only professionals who need to master their breathing (e.g. athletes, public speakers and more) and people going through rehabilitation, but also everyone looking for simple and practical tools to improve their daily life.
