Raphaela Fritz (Nectar)

Her unique blend of movement, breath, alignment, and energetic anatomy forms a holistic approach to yoga and bodywork. Beginning her practice at the age of 19, Raphaela completed her hot yoga training in 2001, participated in international yoga competitions, and became certified in both Bikram and Anusara styles. While these methods have shaped her foundation, she has been teaching from the wellspring of her own experience since co-founding Nectar Healing Arts and Steady As She Goes Retreats with her husband in 2009. Their shared devotion and love serve as the blueprint for her commitment to creating unique spaces for women's workshops and retreats, empowering women to connect with their bodies and spirits. Beyond her dedication to healing through embodiment, Raphaela finds joy in motherhood and partnership on her family’s emerging farm and mini retreat center in Barnardsville. She is also the creator of Sovereign Pearl: Reclaiming Feminine Radiance & Wholeness, a nine-week embodiment immersion for women. This transformative program celebrates the Divine Feminine and the luscious sensuality that is every woman’s birthright. The next session of Sovereign Pearl runs from March 6th to May 6th, and registration is open now.
