Meet Your Instructor: Laela Zandkarimi

Laela has been guiding students through the transformative practice of yoga since 2016, bringing a unique blend of strength, grace, and mindfulness to every class. With a background in dance, her transition into yoga was a natural evolution—moving seamlessly and with intention.

Her classes offer a dynamic balance of power and rejuvenation, combining energizing sequences with space to deeply unwind. Through playful, unexpected transitions, Laela keeps students grounded in the present moment, encouraging self-exploration and igniting curiosity.

She skillfully weaves in mindful messages and yogic philosophy, helping students not only move their bodies but also connect to the deeper “why” behind each movement.

Laela’s mission is to inspire others to become the best version of themselves. Her teaching empowers students to develop self-awareness, shed what no longer serves them, and step confidently into their strength. Her classes are more than just a workout—they’re a journey inward, where movement and mindfulness become tools for lasting transformation.
