Register to join us for Yoga for Spanish Speakers with Rafaela on Saturday, June 12 @ 10M at the Agriculture Museum in Santa Paula. A dynamic class that is intended to be for all levels of practitioners, which supports body awareness, breath, and connection to self. This practice offers a variety of postures that meet the students where they are and inspires students to be curious and aware of their breath and body, encouraging  them to lean into the discomfort of knowing the self a little deeper.

Please bring a mat, water, and any other props you may need for your practice. (A limited number of mats will be available if you don’t have one.)

Esta  clase dinámica es para todos los niveles y perfecta  para principiantes.  Se ofrece una variedad de posturas, que ayudan a conectar la respiración, el movimiento, y la mente. La meta es cultivar la curiosidad sobre la practica de yoga en cual cada persona puede crecer  y  cultivar un gran respeto para nosotros mismos y nuestros cuerpos.

Por favor traiga un tapete, agua y cualquier otro accesorio que pueda necesitar para tu práctica.

(Un número limitado de tapetes estará disponible si no tienes uno).

After years of practicing yoga, she received her 200-hour RYT certification from Jai Rhythm in early 2020, followed by 100 hours virtual training on anatomy and sequencing with Bhavani Maki in October 2020. She has most recently gone through 30-hour Accessible Yoga training with Jivana Heyman. She loves being a student as much as she loves being a teacher and is always ready to learn more, to share and connect with all of you.
