Raya Salomé Goldstein
Literary scholar | Somatic Movement Lover & Facilitator | Yoga teacher | Spaceholder
Raya Salomé Goldstein is a literary scholar with a special focus on fairy tales, folklore, and myth.
At the same time, she walks the path of a yoga teacher, embodiment coach, and dancer, weaving movement and spirit into her daily practice. Her work builds bridges between body and story, intellect and intuition, guiding others into deeper connection with themselves and the wisdom that lives within. She is devoted to holding spaces that are both grounding and transformative, where people can arrive as they are.
Rooted in her studies of myth and inspired by spirits of nature and the medicine of plants especially and the gentle heart-opening power of cacao, Raya creates spaces where transformation, playfulness, and reverence meet. Through somatic movement and embodiment practices as well as storytelling, she invites you to experience the body as both vessel and portal, opening pathways to presence, intuition, and iviting the magic of connection with oneself, with community, and with life itself.
