TEACHERS
Jacqueline Summer 
I first encountered Swami Radha’s teachings of yoga in 2003 at a Hidden Language Hatha Yoga class. I went on to train as a Yasodhara Yoga teacher, taking the Yoga Development Course and Hatha Teacher Training at Yasodhara Ashram in 2008 . I received teacher certification in Kundalini, Dream Yoga and Hidden Language Hatha Yoga in 2010. http://www.yasodhara.org/ I renewed my training in 2014, 2018, 2023 and 2025.
My background is in Social Work, Steiner teaching and Professional Storytelling. I have a BA Fine Art and taught art to adults for a number of years. I am a practicing professional artist https://www.jacquelinesummer.com/
I find Yasodhara Yoga to be a grounded and practical way of honouring the spiritual in everyday life. It is a source of inner strength, resilience and compassion.

Carol Lucis 
Yasodhara yoga has been a prominent part of my life since 1994. I was impressed by the practical, life enriching tools that were offered to me in the classes. Yasodhara Yoga http://www.yasodhara.org/ has enhanced my life in every way. Swami Radha’s profound wisdom and compassion has formed the inspiration to make much needed changes to bring greater peace and joy into my life. I now offer others the opportunity to experience that same wisdom.
I completed initial training as a Yasodhara Yoga teacher in 1997 and returned to complete the Hidden Language, Dreams and Kundalini teacher training. Since then I have been returning regularly to the ashram to update and connect with others from all over the world. Extended stays in 2008 and again in 2015/16 helped me to deepen my yoga practice and commitment.
Carol will be teaching and offering Karma Yoga at Yasodhara Ashram from January to May 2020 and will be returning to Canterbury to resume classes in the early summer. She recently renewed her Kundalini and Dreams teacher training in February 2025.
