A little about my journey…

On 14th February 2024, I, along with 7 other yoga teachers, was awarded my 500 hour Pranayama Teacher Certificate. This is the first of its kind in this tradition - a tradition rich in over 120 pranayama practices! It has been a 2 year journey, involving weekly on-line classes, detailed daily sadhana and 2 ashram stays - in Wales ‘23 and Pondicherry, South India ‘24.

During the workshop on April 13th, using a series of practices and reflections, l’ll take you through some of my experiences in the ashram.

You will leave feeling refreshed, invigorated and perhaps even more curious about the ‘whole’ of yoga as, not just a daily, but a lifetime sadhana.

Any questions, please feel free to message or email info@theraphaelstudios. Or if you wish to deepens your personal practice, join me online or in studio on Tuesdays at 19.00-20.15pm for a regular pranayama practise. 🧘‍♀️
