Casa Santosha is run by Emma and Paul. We have set up Casa Santosha as a way for us to spend more time in the peace and tranquility of Andalucia as we currently live in London, but also to be able to share the practise and study of yoga, meditation and ayurveda to others in this beautiful, nourishing space. We run Casa Santosha like an ashram and it has a real traditional simple ashram feel about it. 

​

Retreats are mainly run by Emma. Emma has been a yoga teacher for more than 30 years. During part of her training Emma was a practising monastic and volunteer staff withing the Sivananda yoga tradition for nearly 14 years and has an extensive training and experience in all aspects of yoga practise and philosophy. Emma currently runs a yoga studio in Bromley, Yoga Studio Bromley, and teaches regularly in other parts of London and on different teachers training courses. Emma was a regular teacher on the Yoga London and Universal Yoga teachers training courses teaching various aspects of yoga philosophy and ayurveda. She also runs her own 1 year teachers training course based in Bromley, Uk and Casa Santosha, Spain.

 

Emma is also an ayurvedic health consultant and ayurvedic chef, having trained with teachers such as Dr. Vasant Lad, Atreya Smith, Robert Svoboda, Dr. Deepa Apte and Dr. Deepika Rodrigo and offers regular trainings and advice for people with specific health conditions or for those just wanting to improve their overall well being.

​

Emma is also a Hanna somatic movement teacher helping people with pain and postural issues, as well as a trained Yin yoga teacher.

 

Emma shares her wisdom and experience to guide and inspire others on their journey, helping others experience their optimum well being and a deeper sense of purpose and connection to life.

 

Paul trained as a yoga teacher within the Sivananda tradition with his training in February 2014 in the Himalayas, India. He has a natural intuition on movement and well being from his experience with dance which is his biggest passion. His smiles and good humour and generally kind and generous personality bring a cheer to everyone’s hearts and makes him a valuable asset to the warmth and spirit of Casa Santosha.
