Raha Bamdadi
Founder

  • Born in the East and raised in the West, Raha Bamdadi has always been fascinated by human potential. Initially, she pursued genetic engineering at the University of Houston, Texas. However, her passion for style, fashion, and travel led her to shift gears and graduate from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California.

    After a few years immersed in New York City’s fashion industry and launching her own brand, the demands and stress of modern life prompted Raha to seek balance and self-care. She found her sanctuary in meditation and yoga.

    Deeply inspired by her Persian heritage and travels to the East, Raha developed a profound love for Yoga, Ayurveda, Rumi, and all practices that transcend the mundane and reconnect one to the heart. Driven by a desire to share this love and help others find inner peace, Raha became a certified Vinyasa Yoga teacher and now leads workshops and classes around the world.

    Raha’s mission as a yogi is to make yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of background, financial status, or flexibility level. She believes yoga is a unifying force, bringing together the intelligence of the mind with the wisdom of the heart to help us live in harmony and find inner peace. By living as our best selves, we contribute to making the world a better place.

Meditation Teacher

Meditation Mondays with Michele

  • Michele grew up in a three-culture environment in Karlsruhe, Germany. After finishing school, she decided to move to the United States for a few years, but those years turned into 25. She studied on the East Coast and then spent 20 years in San Francisco on the West Coast. During this time, she experienced personal growth and discovered more about the world and herself. She also began practicing meditation, which helped her manage her anxieties in a healthy way. When she returned to Germany, meditation became a key part of her daily routine.

    It became a practice that changed her life and she decided that she wanted to touch and benefit the lives of others.

     In 2023, she completed a two-year teacher training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Now, she shares her passion for meditation and teaches others how to use mindfulness to cope with stress in today’s fast-paced world.
