Roudha
Al Marri
I was taking my son who was 2 years old to a mindfullness class in a yoga studio back in 2014. I stayed and watched his yoga instructor interact with the kids. It surprised me how much of her talk I needed to hear myself. I signed up for the next available session and my life has transformed since then. I am now a Yoga Instructor and a Breathing Coach based in Abu Dhabi and my enthusiasm spreads around everything holistic. I published a book in 2018 sharing my childhood stories and the culture I grew in, UAE101. I did not expect a simple talk with a neighbor will take me in a journey to publish a book! but life has a strange way of showing you how beautiful it is. I love to believe that I’m a poet at heart as well and writing is a necessary daily habit I like to return to whenever I hear the call. I immerse myself in experiences from around the world to learn from different yoga practices. I focus on brining balance to my surroundings. A plant-based all around and I am a certified 200-hr RYT Yoga Teacher and a certified Breath Coach. In addition, I have taken yoga workshops from around the world: Tulum and Los Cabos in Mexico, Los Angeles and New York in United States, and Bali, Indonesia in Sound Healing, Meditation and Yoga. I live by a simple word from the Sanskrit language, “Pratyahara”, which means “Conceal your senses, connect with your inner self.”
