Embracing Yoga Beyond the Mat

Yoga is more than a sequence of poses—it's a journey inward, a bridge to deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Discover my journey as a yoga teacher, blending physical practice with the spiritual and emotional aspects of yoga.

As a certified yoga teacher with 500 hours of training from the esteemed Beit Ra Yoga School in Beirut, I am passionate about sharing yoga not just as a physical practice but as a holistic way of living.

Under the mentorship of the incredible Bachir, my journey into yoga transformed into something far greater than I ever imagined. Bachir’s wisdom, guidance, and belief in me opened doors that changed my life. Teaching at his studio and during other occasions under his encouragement not only refined my skills but also deepened my understanding of yoga as a practice of embodiment and self-discovery. For this, I am forever grateful.

My classes focus on fostering a sense of presence in the body, cultivating awareness of our feelings and emotions, and embracing the now without judgment. I guide my students to feel at home within themselves, encouraging them to release tension and find balance through movement, breath, and mindfulness. Whether it’s a dynamic Vinyasa flow or a calming Yin session, my goal is to create a safe space for self-expression, healing, and connection.

Beyond the mat, I love creating opportunities for collective sharing and exploration. From journaling and cacao ceremonies to pottery, painting, and movement like dancing, these gatherings celebrate the many ways we can express and connect. These ceremonies are an invitation to explore creativity, share experiences, and nurture the joy of being present together.

I also offer specialized classes that focus on specific areas of the body or aim to release emotions stored in different parts of the body. These sessions are designed to help students reconnect with their inner selves and feel more balanced, grounded, and aligned.

Yoga has the power to transform lives, and I am honored to share this transformative journey with my students. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening your practice, I look forward to guiding you as we explore the beauty of yoga together—physically, spiritually, and creatively.

Let’s connect, move, and grow—on the mat and beyond. 🌸
