Pure Fitness by Fotini Bitrou
Every day we are trying to have a better life or a better quality of life. We are working more and more trying to create things we want, things that will make us happy.
The last year I considered that the most important thing is our self. If you haven’t good health in your body and soul and if you don’t take care of them, you can't have or enjoy, or love anything else. That’s why I loved yoga. Yoga is the combine of body and mind, is the total balance of your self. My Teacher in yoga, Fotini Bitrou, decided to publish all this staff and share them on the web. She created a website named www.purefitness.gr and cooperated with me for the pictures of the website content.
