Islamic Mindfulness · Yoga · Breath

A practice of presence, rooted in remembrance.

I'm Ayesha — a registered yoga teacher weaving the stillness of dhikr with the language of the body. This is a soft place to breathe, move, and return to yourself.

Assalāmu ʿalaykum

Movement as a form of dhikr.

Yoga, for me, is not separate from my faith — it is one of the ways I live it. Each breath a whispered SubhanAllah, each posture an invitation to notice the body Allah entrusted to me. I teach a practice that honors both the āsana and the āyah.

Breath

The nafas — the same word for breath and soul. Pranayama meets muraqabah: slow, conscious, remembered.

Movement

Gentle, aligned āsana taught with an anatomist's eye and a believer's heart. Suitable for every body.

Remembrance

Guided meditations drawn from the Qur'an and Sunnah — a return to Al-Latīf, the Subtle, in stillness.

Ways to practice

Slow, small, and steady.

Whether you're arriving on the mat for the first time or returning after years away, there's a way in. One-to-one sessions, small group classes, and seasonal circles — each shaped around the rhythm of your life and the calendar of your faith.

Kind words

"Practising with Ayesha feels like coming home to a version of myself I'd almost forgotten. Her voice, her intention, her rootedness in the deen — it's rare and it's real."

— Layla, 1:1 student
