Ashraya Riggio
After many years as a holistic health practitioner Ashraya followed her passion to study Peruvian shamanism. She is currently a mesa carrier in the Andean tradition and has been initiated through the Andean Paqos Jose Luis Herrera and Don Alberto. She is also a practitioner of the Peruvian Amazon shamanic practice in the application of Sapo/Kambo. Ashraya works to bridge these combined arts of energetic healing with the biological healing of Sapo/Kambo. Ashraya has worked and studied with the sacred frog medicine and has graduated from the International School of Sapo Practitioners in Joshua Texas under the lineage of the Matses Tribe. Ashraya feels strongly in her heart that for us to heal Pachamama Sonqo (heart of our Mother Earth) we must first heal our own hearts and return to our innocence . This she feels is the essence of her work and she is dedicated in helping all people through the facilitation of earth based ceremony and the magic of the sacred frog.
Ashraya Riggio RYT 200 is an Intuitive Holistic Heath Care Practitioner and yoga teacher trained and influenced by the alignment based traditions of Hatha, Ananda and Iyengar.
After healing a severe back injury through yoga, instead of surgery and the Western medical approach that was her formal professional training, Ashraya was inspired to share what she learned.
She is dedicated to providing practical wisdom and spiritual guidance to her students and clients. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for her students and clients to experience the benefits of a balanced yoga practice. With a strong emphasis of proper alignment and breath attunenment, Her aim is to guide students into a deeper awareness of themselves through the holistic approach that Yoga offers, connecting each student to the totality of their being if ever so subtly.
With 25 years experience as an integrated practitioner, Ashraya is committed to helping her clients and students live more fully and be empowered during life’s biggest challenges. With wisdom sourced in both western medicine and eastern healing and nearly two decades working in the medical community, serving cancer patients in the Silicon Valley, Ashraya helped facilitate and launch the Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Team at Kaiser Permanente San Jose and led a weekly Breast Cancer class, assisted in the creation and implementation of the Colorectal infection prevention education program, has served as a volunteer Massage Therapist for Hospice of Santa Cruz County, she also holds a special place in her heart as a death midwife. She now has dedicated her teaching to offering integrative yoga therapeutics to groups and private clients for those living with cancer, those who have suffered trauma and addiction recovery. No matter where a person is on their healing journey Ashraya is committed to designing a therapeutic treatment plan that will facilitate the restoration of wholeness and well being to body, mind, and spirit.
In the deepest place of gratitude, thank you for allowing me the privilege of assisting in your souls journey to a complete healed state. Anayki Kuyaki
