Layla Talal Gama is a Saudi-American 300-hour Yoga and Meditation teacher brought up in the UAE. Having taught primarily overseas she relocated back to the DMV area last year after more than 26 years abroad. She specializes in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Pre/Post Natal Yoga. She also teaches Barre and Sculpt certified by the Barre Burn method. Her love of yoga goes back years when she began attending classes that brought her joy and helped her cope with life’s challenges. Having been in a previous career that no longer felt fulfilling she left her job and embarked onto her first yoga teacher training. Layla believes that yoga can teach us incredible lessons both on and off the mat. While practicing the physical asanas in yoga make the body stronger and more flexible, the real change begins once we step outside of the studio doors. The breath work, meditative practices and the ancient knowledge of yoga passed down over time allow us to lead lives filled with more compassion for ourselves and the world around us. Her classes are suitable for a variety of levels regardless of one’s background. You can expect her classes to be supportive, uplifting, safe and fun to practice in too!
