Abir is also an experienced yoga teacher, having gained her 200hr training through YogaWorks in San Francisco and then the advanced training (500hr) through SmartFLOW. Abir’s teaching style is grounded in both modern anatomy and classical yoga philosophy to create awareness and strength in the body, focus and curiosity in the mind, as well as a sense of presence and kindness. Her approach aims to inspire students to commit to the journey of yoga, which does not necessarily have an end point and is not focused on perfection.
