Raphaella has practiced yoga for 12 years and taught regular classes since April 2005. In March 2005 Raphaella completed an ISHTA yoga teacher training with Rachel Zinman in Byron Bay. The trainings focussed on asana, tantra, meditation, anatomy and yogic philosophy.
In December 2005 she began an advanced yoga teacher apprenticeship. This covered yoga therapy, Sanskrit, and ayurveda. To deepen her study of the ISHTA System of teaching, she participated in an additional training in September 2005. In February 2009 she assisted and facilitated an ISHTA yoga teacher training where her knowledge deepened from sharing and learning with others.
Raphaella has a background in dance and gymnastics. Her knowledge of these two disciplines plays a part in the way she teaches. She offers a combination of ISHTA style meditation, pranayama (breathing) along with a Hatha style asana class. Raphaella comes from Byron Bay where she started teaching, then spent time in America teaching yoga to teenagers in a summer camp before moving to London in December 2006, where she has spent 2 years teaching ISHTA yoga, Pre-Natal and Mummy & Baby classes in Central London.
Now she has relocated to Barcelona, Spain where she continues to teach.
