About Yussef
As far as my experience goes, I've been practising yoga for 10 years, however for most of those 10 years it was a casual endeavour that kept me injury free whilst I worked as a sound/lighting/video technician and set builder. After reaching a point where I felt like I'd met enough people and seen enough of the world I decided it was time to transition to doing a job I'd truly love.
I proceeded to complete the 3 month 900 Hour ATTC from The Yoga Institute Mumbai with an Ashtanga and asana bias. I then took an internship at the ashram for an additional 10 weeks where I gained 130 hours of teaching experience demonstrating and teaching with the ashram's senior teachers on the 1, 2, and 3 month teacher training courses asana classes. Since returning I've mostly been focusing on teaching 1 on 1 to further develop my style, and creating workshops to run with a psychologist with the goal of mixing eastern and western philosophies in the future.
I'm also a big fan of running, piano and guitar. I completed a marathon a couple years ago and have been lowkey working towards running a marathon in barefoot shoes on the side .

Namaste - The Divine in me honours and bows down to the divine in you.
The air around us is energy, even more potent than food. The air around us is love. A love that will always surround us and will always have time for us. If you learn to breathe with intention, that love, that energy, that prana, is yours for the taking.
Whilst we're all here for the physical asana side of yoga, I like my students to gain more than just a workout. I like them to gain an understanding of how to feel, react to, and trust their bodies. Anyone can hold a pose and have a workout, but the true magic of yoga comes when we connect a mental, science-backed, understanding of how our body is moving, with an experiential and embodied awareness of the movements.
I like to start with the basics, giving you time to build a more complete awareness of what every part of your body is doing before moving onto the more "instagram" style of yoga everyone loves. This creates a safer environment and gives you the tools you need to safely practise at your own pace without feeling like you need a teacher to correct you. Intuition is a beautiful thing, and with time you will trust your body's intuition.
Different branches of philosophy will be gradually worked in with an "all roads lead north" approach, and no loyalty to any particular school of thought. You'll love throwing these quotes out just as much as I love finding them.
My preferred style of teaching is 1 on 1. I can do 1 hour classes, but 1.5-2 hour classes offer the best combination of warming up, building awareness in the body, throwing in some strength stuff, using that "tapas" (heat) to go deeper into our stretches, and then cooling down properly.
If you've made it this far, I thank you for your time, attention, and patience. I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Yussef

I had a wonderful experience in the asana class taught by Yussef. The pace of the class was perfect for me, and his instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I felt seen and supported throughout the session, without ever feeling judged.
Yussef offered small alignment suggestions that made a big difference in how the postures felt in my body. The class was challenging in a very balanced way. It pushed me while still feeling safe and respectful of my limits.
It’s clear that Yussef has a deep understanding of postures and alignment. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is beginning their yoga journey or looking to deepen their practice.See more recommendations
