Hala Okeili is the founder of, and one of the main teachers at Sarvam Yoga. Sarvam Yoga was born from the idea of wanting to spread the message of Yoga, in all its limbs, yoga as a philosophy of life and a lifestyle. Sarvam Yoga is today the leading yoga studio in Lebanon, with more than 100 practitioners who come to practice everday.

Originally, Hala comes from a legal background, she worked as a corporate lawyer for 8 years, she has a Bachelor and Masters in Law from USJ & Aix- Marseille (France). But her love and passion for yoga, and her belief in adopting yoga as a complete lifestyle, lead her to drop her legal career for a higher purpose, teaching and spreading Yoga. She accumulated 500 hours of training in the Ashtanga Yoga and the Vinyasa Flow methods from Sampoorna Yoga, India, where she also taught and assisted in few teacher trainings. Hala constantly continues to expand her studying and knowledge, she practiced and studied with renowned teachers, such as Mark and Joanne Darby, David Williams, Eddie Stern, Kino Mcgregor, and many more. Today, she continues to study in KPJAYI, the traditional institute of Ashtanga Yoga, with her teacher Sharath Jois.

She is a young, energetic, dedicated and passionate yogini who’s determined on spreading the practice of Yoga first nationally then internationally, and making it available to as many. Hala believes that through the teachings of Yoga, we can bring the most out of the individual and eventually the society, we can empower and release positive and creative practitioners into society; individuals, who think differently, behave differently and move differently. Little by little, with time and numbers, we will be taking part in creating a new reality; a more open society – one with a flexible structure and freedom of belief – a society that accepts the unpredictable reality of change, and deals with it.
