THE JOURNEY
HOW IT STARTED
Yiannis’ mission is to build the most evidence-based and comprehensive training system for the human body. To do that, naturally, he had to start from the foundation of all movements, flexibility. As he likes to say, “no range of motion, no party.” He spent years researching the literature on flexibility and practicing every method that he could get his hands on. Finally, he was able to structure the most effective and evidence-based way to increase flexibility, the Range Optimization System (ROS). He now shares what he learned from this journey through his training programs, educational courses, and workshops worldwide.
THE BORING BIO
Yiannis graduated from the Faculty of Sports Science of Aristotle University, receiving the highest grade a student has ever achieved in the department’s history. During his academic years, he received two awards for academic excellence, one from the N.G.P.E. Association and one from the Faculty of Sports Science of Aristotle University. He continued his studies with a Master’s degree in “Human Performance and Health.” In his Master’s thesis, he was one of the first to investigate techniques of acute aerobic capacity enhancement through blood circulation reflexes. He holds a post-grad diploma in Sports Nutrition from the International University of Greece and has aspirations of completing a Ph.D. in Exercise Science. To this day, he has taught seminars all over the world on various topics related to human performance and health and workshops on modern flexibility training methods. He has been working as a coach since 2012 and has trained all levels of clients ranging from professional athletes to fitness enthusiasts just getting started. His coaching philosophy is based on developing symmetrically all physical components of the human body with evidence-based and field-tested practices.
About The Program
This is a 6-week flexibility training program that aims in increasing both active and passive flexibility in leg-side abduction, aka side split. A second important purpose of this program is to gradually introduce you to the many different training methods that can be utilized to increase flexibility. There are more than 11 training methods for increasing flexibility. Some of them are more complex than others and there is an optimal order to get introduced to each one of them. In this 6-week program, you’ll have the chance to get introduced to some of the most effective flexibility training methods that exist.
For this reason, this program is suitable for both beginners with low flexibility levels and advanced flexible trainees that want, not only to increase flexibility and get closer to the side split but also to develop their understanding of the different flexibility training methods.
