Sulaf Mubaideen is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS).

I am a yoga enthusiast and teacher who believes in the holistic benefits of yoga for the body, mind, heart, and soul. I began my yoga journey in my late twenties, and since then I have explored the philosophical aspects of yoga through the teachings of various Indian and non-Indian masters, such as J. Krishnamurti, Mooji, Osho, Ramana Maharishi, Sivananda, and Dayananda.

In 2019, I traveled to India and spent a month at the Sivananda Dhanwantari Ashram, a renowned institution that teaches yoga in its authentic and traditional form. This experience inspired me to take a yoga teacher training course in Maharashtra in January 2023, under the guidance of Master Arun Pandala, one of the senior-most Sivananda-trained teachers in India and a former member of the Quality Council of India’s Yoga Professional Certification project.

As a yoga teacher, I cater to beginners and intermediate-level students, following the Sivananda class sequence that lasts typically for 90 minutes and consists of relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and 12 basic asanas, with variations to suit different levels of proficiency.

Besides yoga, I enjoy reading and hiking. I have a Bachelor’s degree in French language and a Master’s degree in American Studies, and I am PMP certified. I work in the field of Communications and Media Relations, and I have served as the Director of Outreach for the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature and as a Communications Consultant for several USAID and UN projects, as well as various local and international non-governmental organizations.
