Raghunath Cappo

International Yoga trainer & Transformational Coach

Raghunath born Ray Cappo was a Lower East Side hardcore-punk singer-songwriter icon, touring the globe in his teens. In a decadent music scene infested with hard drugs, negativity and intoxication he was an anomaly and a light propounding clean living, positive attitude and vegetarian lifestyle, inspiring tens of thousands of fans internationally. Since his youth he was fascinated with Eastern thought and took his inspiration from Emerson, Gandhi, & Thoreau. His interest in yoga and self-transformation started in New York City in the late ’80s. The pettiness of the music business and the untimely death of his father led him to India on a spiritual quest in 1988. Now, 25 years later, he's an accomplished yogi in many styles, a storyteller, and a sought-after international spiritual and transformational coach. He is considered a teacher's teacher, as he leads retreats, workshops and yoga teacher training around the world and maintaining a retreat centre in upstate New York.
