Bhakti Yoga DC 

Hama's classes powerfully connect you with your breath, body, and mind through movement, increasing awareness of how these elements influence your moods and overall well-being.

Hama started her yoga journey in 2006 with Bikram Yoga and is a certified 500-hour teacher. For Hama, teaching yoga is a way to share the joy and inner peace that arise from connecting breath, body, and mind through movement. With a warm and straightforward style, she helps students restore balance and nurture themselves and their self-expression. She especially enjoys working with beginner and Level 1 students in studio classes, private sessions, and community centers.
Hama has been an enthusiastic athlete throughout her life and is a dedicated Vipassana meditator, which has transformed her life and complements her yoga asana practice perfectly. Passionate about cooking, baking, and eating, she loves a great book or spending quality time with her dog, cats and husband.
