Instructors
Antonios Raptis
Born in 1976, Antonios — also known as Shankar — has spent his life exploring the connection between food, movement, and the inner life. He has trained extensively in energetic diets, yoga, meditation, and holistic approaches to well-being, and holds a certified Yoga Teacher Training qualification. In 2006, he encountered the teachings of the Self-Liberation path rooted in the ancient Greek mystery tradition — a meeting that shaped his understanding of the relationship between land, spirit, and the divine, and that runs quietly through everything at Foodpath to this day!
Lara Rodriguez
Lara is a yoga teacher and a wellness consultant. Her journey began following an early 'midlife crisis' and the encounter with the ancient tradition of Kriya yoga. During a retreat in Greece, Lara met her first meditation teacher who initiate her into the practice and the teachings. She traveled and lived for about three years between Greece, India where she studied in the ashram of her Guru Swami Shankarananda Giri, 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.
