George Christodoulou Jagaro

Ι was born in the Czech Republic by Greek parents and got involved in martial arts (Wado Ryu Karate) at the age of 9 years old.

 

Karate
In my 15 I took 1st Dan, black belt (adult) by Japanese Master Tatsuo Suzuki 8o Dan and I was the first in Europe to have this distinction. In this age I also began teaching.

I excelled at National level and wore the colors of the Greek national team in European and World competitions and I became Federal Coach.

Alongside the 2.5 decades engagement with martial arts I turned to Yoga and Meditation.

​

Yoga
I researched and practiced different paths of Yoga (Hatha, Dynamic, Kundalini, Rehabilitation, Yin/Daoist, Raja, Sufi, Ruesri Dat Ton/Thai) with exceptional teachers Greek and foreign (including André Van Lysebeth, known and beloved teacher in Central Europe, Boris Tichanovsky known and loved teacher in the Czech Republic and Russia, Keawnapa Sripodok known teacher in Thailand) and taught for 5 years in Canada, Czech Republic and continuing to Greece.

 

Meditation
In Vipassana insight meditation, I was first initiated by Emilios Buratinos and then studied with Master Tew Bunang, who had come from Thailand to Greece, in Yoga Studio Lotos since 1984 and then in another place in Kastri. 

I then went on to study with Vichitr Ratna Dhiravamsa, a well-known Thai Vipassana Master, who was the Thai government's envoy to the West in the 1960s to spread Vipassana meditation to the Western World as a mission. 

I took part in many meditation retreats in Thailand, staying for several days at a time at well-known Buddhist monasteries. I have over 3000 hours of training in Vipassana and spiritual psychology.

At the behest of my teacher, Diravamsa, I have been teaching Vipassana and spiritual psychology since 2004. I have offered Vipassana seminars in Canada, Greece, Romania and the Czech Republic – and continue to offer wherever it is asked.

​

Information Technology (1/1994 – 1/2003)
I studied and worked in Information Technology with my last job at NOKIA Mobile Phones Finland, in Research and Development, as a Design Engineer. Then, I became interested in and studied alternative medicine.

​

Thai Massage (since 2003)
I studied Thai massage since 2003 in Thailand, in well-known and excellent schools such as (ITM - International Training Massage School, Loi Kroh Traditional Thai Massage School & Yoga) and teachers including Master Pichest Boonthume.

I have over 700 hours of training in Thai Massage. Since then, I have been offering it individually and teaching it in professional seminars since 2010 in Canada, Spain, the Czech Republic and Greece.

​

Theta Healing (Belief Repatterning – Energy Psychotherapy) (since 2007)
I came into contact with the Theta Healing® - energy psychotherapy technique in 2007 and I studied it in Canada, at schools in Fairmont Hot Springs and Edmonton. Since then, I have been offering my knowledge and services with great zeal to this very modern yet powerful alternative technique as well.

 

Other alternative healing techniques
At the same time, I studied:
• Psychological Consulting
• Aura readings (psychic readings)
• Reiki (Usui 3rd degree, Chakra, Kundalini and Tantra)
• Ex-Soviet Holistic Health Recovery Energy System PEPA (Further Energy Information Development) taught to the Military and Secret Services of the former Soviet Union.

 

My Master in alternative therapies is the famous Russian therapist Boris Tichanovsky, who was a chiropractor and psychologist of the athletes of the Olympic Committee of the former USSR. 

To offer his knowledge and services in a more organized way, George founded (together with his ex-wife) and operated 2 companies:

a) ATHINAION FOS - Center for Holistic Development and Treatment in Greece (2015-2018).
b) MAGNUM OPUS - Center for Personal and Spiritual Development in Bucharest, Romania (2019-2022).
From 2023 he is a partner of Yoga Studio and Wellness Lotos, in Kifissia, Athens, Greece offering Vipassana Meditation courses, with the prospect of teaching and offering much more in the future.
