Instructor

Eva Raal

Eva Raal (M.A.) is a free-lance yoga teacher currently based in Cape Town. She has been practicing yoga since 2006 and teaching since 2015. Through her extensive travels, she has had the privilege to explore a number of different yoga styles and study with many inspirational teachers from around the world, including Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor, Ty Landrum and Petri Räisänen. Eva has an academic background in classical literature and spent eight years lecturing Latin, Ancient Greek and Biblical Hebrew at the University of Stellenbosch. Her passion for ancient languages and her love for yoga have in recent years led her to the study of Sanskrit and she has been a guest teacher on this subject at several yoga teacher trainings. By sharing her knowledge of this language, she hopes to awaken in her students a deeper appreciation and curiosity for the teachings of yoga beyond the physical practice.
