Our Story

Thavma was born from two hearts and one vision.
The name itself carries our story: Thano and Marina, woven together to create Thavma—the Greek word for miracle.
That word, miracle, is personal to me. Years ago, after multiple injuries and a diagnosis of degenerative cervical spine disease, doctors warned that without surgery I risked eventual paralysis. Instead of accepting that as my future, I chose another path. I studied, refined, and created what became the ThavmaMethod™—a system that strengthened my body, healed me from within, and allowed me to avoid surgery. What doctors thought was impossible, became my miracle. And now, it’s a method I share to help others discover their own.
The V, crowned with a flame, holds even deeper meaning. In Sanskrit, Vikrum stands for Victory, while the flame rising from its center represents both the inner fire of transformation and the therapeutic heat of our studios. It is a symbol of strength, resilience, and rebirth—the very essence of what we aim to give every student who walks through our doors.
The Designer & The Creator
Thano, my husband, is the creative mind and designer behind the Thavma brand. Every line, every symbol, every element of the brand was born from his vision of creating something timeless, modern, and powerful.
Marina, founder and lead trainer, is the creator of the ThavmaMethod™—a functional alignment–based yoga system that blends sculpting, strength, and flow with safe biomechanics for today’s body. This method doesn’t just make you stronger on your mat, it heals, prevents injury, and elevates how you move through life.
Why We Built Thavma
We knew we weren’t just building yoga studios—we were building sanctuaries. Places where people could sweat, stretch, sculpt, and above all, heal. Our Greek roots guided us to create more than just a fitness space. In Greece, we live by the word Philoxenia—the art of treating every guest like family. At Thavma, this is our promise: from the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed, cared for, and at home.
A Brand with Heart, A Method with Purpose
Thavma is more than a workout. It’s a lifestyle brand, a method, and a movement. Together, we created a space where community and transformation collide—a place where heat and hospitality ignite the body and soul.
Whether you come to sculpt your body, reset your mind, or heal old injuries, Thavma holds the flame for your transformation.
For us, Thavma is victory. For you, it might just be a miracle.
