After having suffering from ill health on and off for most of my adult life, I began to realise the role of stress as a trigger and noticed how great I felt after yoga classes even though I didn't understand why. Then my yoga journey of healing began. It has carried me through since 2002 when I first tried a class although during my pregnancies and early years of my children's life, I barely had time to practice. Only in 2015/16 did I finally decide to do my teacher training to help bring this amazing practice to more people.

I am an artist and Yogi and find the synergy of Yoga and Art so powerful. Both are rooted in a deep mindfulness practice to allow us to become present in our lives and find clarity despite the mind chatter that makes us numb to our feelings. My mission is to help people get in touch with FEELING their body wisdom and LISTENING to its guidance from that beautiful stillness that the asanas and meditation create. 

When we change our inner world then our outer world mirrors that and it allows us to see our truth and Trust ourselves on a deeper level.

I'm focused on teaching awareness on all levels so I pay close attention to alignment and learning to drop the ego based driven practice. I am interested in learning more yoga Nidra (restorative yoga ) and also pregnancy yoga.

I love to finish my classes with a reflective thought, poem or question. I find it takes the whole class to a deeper level so that my class not only opens the body but also the mind to new possibilities and ways of looking at the world. 

My new art /yoga mindfulness website will be launching soon! Khadeejasheikh.com will have links to my art and my yoga practice.
