Raphaella Rose: A Journey of Movement, Wellness, and Connection
Originally from Byron Bay, Australia, and now based in Barcelona, Raphaella Rose has spent over 18 years immersed in yoga practice and instruction. Her journey began as a competitive rhythmic gymnast, a foundation that nurtured her passion for movement and discipline. She transitioned to teaching yoga in 2004 after completing a 200-hour ISHTA yoga teacher training with Rachel Zinman in Byron Bay, where she delved into asana, meditation, anatomy, and yogic and tantric philosophy. Building on this, she pursued a 500-hour advanced yoga teacher apprenticeship, deepening her knowledge in yoga therapy, Sanskrit, and Ayurveda.
In 2012, Raphaella founded the Barcelona Yoga Pole Camp, a unique retreat that blends yoga, pole dance, and diverse wellness practices, offering participants a holistic and transformative experience. Beyond her work with the Yoga Pole Camp, Raphaella organises adventure-filled yoga retreats across Europe, Asia and Australia drawing women from around the globe. These retreats combine yoga with thrilling activities such as skiing in the Alps, sailing the Mediterranean, and other exciting adventures—all designed to balance rejuvenation and fun in stunning locations.
