Amina is a Yoga teacher based in Los Angeles, CA. She was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt grew up dancing ballet and was exposed to yoga at a young age by her aunt, a dedicated ashtangi. Yoga became a daily practice for her when she moved away from home, to Boston, for the first time at the age of 18. She needed it as a way to ground herself in the one thing that felt familiar, a connection to her body. She strongly believes in the practice as a tool to fuel creativity and to cope with difficult situations. Amina is committed to a lifelong study of yoga. Her goal is to share the ways that this ancient tradition continues to transform her life everyday through history, safe movement and breath. She aims to bring people closer to their intuition and help them explore the full potential of their mind and body. Her approach to the practice is one full of curiosity, playfulness and love.

Off the mat, you will find her riding waves on her longboard or getting her hands dirty making and creating all sorts of things. She likes to paint, craft and make videos. She occasionally sells her art and is inspired by nature, her loved ones and the constant search for beauty and joy in the face of hardship and injustice. Amina is bilingual, English and Arabic were both her first languages. She often misses home and is eager to connect with other Arabic speakers and sprinkle her mother tongue into the practice to create a homey little bubble that is safe for her students to show up in all their forms.
