The studios founder, Apinya Pokachaiyapat has brought together a number of different practices that have helped her through her own life. Although she holds degrees in mathematics, civil engineering, and creative writing, she is also a long-time Vipassana mediator and Reiki practitioner.

According to their mission, Raksa was created to provide a sacred space for education, movement, heath and healing. RakSa practitioners feel blessed to have experienced such a wide variety of healing methods and have made it our mission to bring this knowledge and experience to you by providing a community that cultivates the best healing experience. RakSa's staff are committed to serve with pure love, to live in the modern world while maintaining the wisdom of our ancient traditions.

The clean modern lines and contemporary sophistication of RakSa's laidback space was thanks to the watchful eye of Minya Radenkovic. Minya ensured that sustainable aspects were introduced throughout the studio ensuring no VOCs of any type are emitted throughout the space. All the furniture and fixtures are made of bamboo plywood or FSC certified wood and the Cafe counter where you can pick-up great Vegan eats is made of Paperstone.
