Ahmed
Soliman

This is a concept that he carries into his yogic lifestyle, both in teaching and in practice, seeking to serve his communities in a way that supports strength, healing, and sustainability. Ahmed brings his science background to his students through yoga retreats in locations that provide the incomparable forces of nature as a backdrop to the yoga journey.


Ahmed is equally influenced by a key life event that brought him most directly to the practice of yoga. After a serious car accident requiring multiple knee surgeries demanded that he transition away from a lifetime passion of participating in contact sports like soccer, he found himself drawn to the safer, deeper, and more sustainable practice of yoga. From this experience, he developed a keen interest in human anatomy as a guide to offer a safe and grounded space for his students, endeavoring to help them explore their physical boundaries with a focus on intelligent alignment, awareness of breath, and a steadying relaxation of the mind. He seeks for every student to emerge with a deeper understanding of his or her own body. In class, he often says, “As you are,” meaning whatever physical or emotional energy a student brings to practice, with a gentle self-acceptance, an awareness of breath, an understanding of the body, and some mental focus, we can find harmony both on and off the mat.

As a student of Iyengar yoga, vinyasa, and meditation, he continues his studies with Nikki Costello, Nikki Vilella, Magi Pierce.
