Diverse yoga movement for real people
Facilitating safe, conscious, and intentional yoga movement to nourish a sense of home in your body
Hello I'm Umaima
A marketer turned yoga teacher (E-RYT 200; RPYT85). Starting my yoga practice in 2014 and teaching journey in 2019, I have taught across multiple yoga studios, community centres, online, and private settings. My motto is to empower my students to move intuitively while using yoga to help them feel better in their bodies.
Unravel with Umaima was inspired from my life experiences urging me to create a classroom where people of all abilities could practice yoga without inhibition.
Intentional living through felt sense
Yoga returns the body to its natural state. A state where we are strong, mobile, our body systems working optimally, we basically have the power to set ourselves free. Moving with intention allows us to become more aware of all the sensations in our body in the present moment.
Learning to discern the quality of body sensations is a beautiful gift of a yoga practice. It equips us with power to navigate our own aches and feelings with movement and stillness to support/challenge ourselves better.
Learning self-regulation through felt sense to move towards a lighter, calmer, wholesome and resilient state of being makes us self-reliant in regulating our own happiness without having to over-recruit loved ones or external circumstances to take care of our well-being.
It might not happen at first, but it will. The answer is to keep practicing to learn and listen to our own body

Testimonials
"Umaima does a great job of mixing the classes up to keep them interesting. The classes are a good pace, but she still takes time to make sure everyone is following along. I feel so much better for going to each class - it’s a great way of keeping away all the general aches and pains which come along with daily life. A great counter balance to sitting in the office all day. I would highly recommend the class to anyone and everyone."
Howe L.

The way you guide everyone and take into consideration the level of each individual making it personalized;
the variety provides each person with the skills to learn and grow."
Hayley F.
"I really enjoy classes with Umaima. The class format is great with a good mix of breathwork, hatha and vinyasa. Her enthusiasm is infectious and I always come away from class feeling a perfect balance of energised and relaxed. Umaima has a way of reading the class so that we are pushed to develop our asana but suitably challenged. Umaima is a brilliant yoga teacher and we are lucky to have her."
"Your classes are the perfect mix between a good workout and a spiritual tranquility. I always come out of your class refreshed and energized but also most importantly feeling calm and at peace."
