Hi. I’m Halla. Come share my passion for yoga!
I first started practicing yoga in 2000. Having practiced various styles, I fell in love with Yin. In 2022, I became a 200 RYT®. In 2024, I went to India and completed 500 RYT® in Yin and Restorative yoga. My continuing education includes 50 hours Pranayama, 40 hours Yin, 35 hours Sound Massage, 30 hours Yoga Nidra, 10 hours Meditation, and more.
I currently teach Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, meditation, and breath work in Jeddah in both English and Arabic; online, in a private studio, and at local studios. I also teach corporate yoga and outdoor yoga.
Prior to that, I worked in Human Rights, International Development and Rapid Aid, and Community Service in the Education Sector. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology from King Abdulaziz University and a master's in Intercultural Relations from the University of the Pacific.
Yoga and meditation have brought much grounding and peace to my busy life as a mother of 3 kids, 4 cats, and 1 dog.
Free Spirit Yoga Classes
Each class has a theme working on different meridians in the body. The 1-hour class normally starts with some breathwork and meditation, followed by poses that improve flexibility and mobility, while allowing the body and mind to completely relax and let go. Class ends with final relaxation imparting a sense of calm and bliss.
At this ladies-only beach, Le Pont offers a serene and stunning escape. The aquamarine waters are refreshing, and the grounds are lush with palm trees and soft green grass. The spa and nail salon overlook the pool and white sandy shore, creating a perfect setting for rest and renewal. During summer, classes are held indoors in an air-conditioned room with ocean views, and on the grass when the weather is pleasant. Classes are booked through this link. @le_pont_de__lamitie
This beautifully designed boutique yoga studio is the brainchild of Layla Khashoggi, an interior designer. Her dream was to create a sancturay for your senses, a place to disconnect and withdraw from the hussle and bussle of the outside world. Enjoy a fully-equip studio in Rovan Tower, overlooking Jeddah and a terrace pool. For pricing and packages, contact @luminate.yoga or via their WhatsApp number.

Chair yoga is a simple and effective way to support the wellbeing and productivity of employees who spend long hours at their desks. No mats or props are needed. Each session is customized to your company’s needs and may include stretching, joint mobility, breathing practices, guided meditation, and crystal bowls. Contact via WhatsApp for more details.
Outdoor yoga is one of my favorites. Whether by the sea or atop a mountain, reconnecting with yourself in the heart of nature is an experience everyone should have at least once. Speakers and microphones are available for larger groups. Contact via WhatsApp for more details.
