YOGA & MINDFULNESS

Luisa Ray

It’s a cliche to say, but it’s true: yoga saved Luisa’s life. It came at the just the right time and she’s stuck with it ever since. She started practising yoga when it was much harder to find than it is now – it wasn’t all over the internet, and there weren’t studios in every neighbourhood. Now it’s everywhere and she hopes its popularity will only continue to increase. She will always keep on trying to spread the message of yoga, and try to make it as inclusive as possible.

Her yoga journey has taken her to India, where she studied her first teacher training in Rishikesh. She has since earned may hundreds of hours of further trainings both in her home country of America, as well as with teachers in Europe and Asia. Although she considers herself a perpetual student, she has spent the time since her first yoga teacher training back in the 1990s teaching consistently, and for many years it was her full-time job.

Now, when she’s not teaching yoga, or practising on the mat herself, Luisa also works as a therapist, and spends her free time looking after her large family of animal friends, or gardening in her herb garden. She strongly believes that yoga in its many forms can be an integral part to holistic health and wellness, and hopes that others can receive the benefits that she has experienced.
