Teachers
Antonios Raptis
Meet Shankar (Antonis), a true seeker of knowledge and wisdom. Born in 1976, he has explored various energetic diets, yoga styles, meditation techniques, and natural holistic approaches in his quest for a deeper understanding of life and wellbeing. In 2006, he met his first spiritual teacher, Michael P, and his spiritual family in Greece, and has since continued to learn about the connection between the land, spirits, and humans, and their connection to the divine. With initiations in Dzogchen and Kriya yoga, Shankar’s spiritual journey has led him to follow a continuous Sadhana practice guided by Guruji Rajkumar Baswar since 2018, who is considered to be one of the last traditional tantric teachers in India.
Lara Rodriguez
Meet Lara, a Yoga Teacher, and Wellness Consultant with a passion for holistic healing. Her journey began with an early midlife crisis, which led her to discover the ancient tradition of Kriya Yoga during a retreat in Greece. It was there that she met her first meditation teacher, who introduced her to the practice and teachings that would change her life forever. Lara spent the next three years traveling and living between Greece, India (where she studied at her Guru Swami Shankarananda Giri’s ashram), Spain, France, and Italy, where she completed her training in the field of wellness and holistic disciplines such as Ayurveda Therapy, Kid Yoga, Mindfulness, and Meditation.
