Raquel moved to London from her home country of Spain in 1999. Shortly after she became interested in yoga and began practicing in many different schools in and around London. She quickly tuned into the profound effects that were occurring through her practice of hatha yoga particularly in an emotional and spiritual sense.

Seeking to deepen her knowledge of yoga she undertook an intenesive yoga teacher training course with the intention of teaching her passion for yoga to others. Before qualifying she  met and fell in love with yoga teacher Mark Ansari..... Her love for Mark, Life and teaching fused and she spent time working with Mark as his apprentice and assistant in his various classes and retreats. They have been working together ever since.

Her particular area of interest is yoga philosophy which she has studied intensively and endeavors to incorporate into her teaching.

Raquel offers more than just asana classes as her focus is to incorperate elements of self-exploration, self-knowledge and self-awareness. She has a talent for directing students deeper into their own experience on the mat and encouraging a greater awareness of  yogic principles to be carried into their day to day lives, becoming more open to the possibilities of positive physical, mental and spiritual transformations.
