Zaina Budayr is a Lebanese American, New York City-based yoga and meditation teacher with a passion for helping people in major cityscapes learn nurturing practices that can become tools to manage stressors of everyday life.
She completed her 200-hour teacher training and mentorship with Sky Ting Yoga, a studio that follows Katonah-based methodologies. This type of yoga prioritizes measurement, by extensively using props and adjustments to find space in the mind and body. It draws upon Hatha principles, Taoist philosophy, and breath work.
Everyone comes into practice at a different place; no two bodies are (or should be) alike. Honoring these magical differences, she develops teachings tailored to each students' needs. She believes in yoga and meditation as a medium to create a space of personal well-being in a societal culture that doesn't often promote mental harmony as a priority. Zaina is driven to help connect her students to tangible tools to use throughout often busy days, be that through one-on-one coaching, fun tutorials, or wisps of inspiration that she finds in the world around her. There is always space to change and grow, and even the tiniest shifts can lead to an aha! moment.
