Experience YogaHaus
YogaHaus | South Asian Woman Owned
Layla, the founder of YogaHaus, brings over 15 years of experience in fitness, wellness, and yoga. Her unique journey from competitive bodybuilding to discovering the healing power of yoga (beyond the mat) has inspired her to create YogaHaus as a space for holistic wellbeing. With her heritage and deep roots in the Eastern traditions, Layla’s passion is to inspire visibility, through representation and cultural ascension, building community with safe spaces for every-body to heal and explore their authentic selves.
She is deeply passionate about integrating yoga into daily life, fostering improved mobility, flexibility, and a holistic mind-body-spirit connection. Whether you're a beginner or an athlete, Layla’s approach to yoga helps you achieve balance and resilience.
Her journey began in the world of fitness, where she thrived as a competitive bodybuilder. Whilst climbing the corporate ladder, Layla also focused on creating environments that promoted wellness and balance, preventing burnout and encouraging a healthy work-life integration. Rooted in her Ayurvedic Indian heritage, she reconnected with the ancient practices of yoga, blending Eastern traditions with modern wellness.
An avid solo traveler since 2015, Layla has lived internationally and drawn wisdom from scholars and native practitioners worldwide. Her experiences span from:
- Meditative retreats in Indian Ashrams to spiritual explorations in Nepalese Monasteries, trekking to Everest Base Camp, and healing through Mayan alternative therapies in Mexico and Asia.
- Her teachings and retreats have reached diverse locations such as Malaysia, UAE, Europe, Bali, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico and USA.
Before yoga, Layla's life was marked by intense physical training, corporate stress, and personal trauma. Yoga became her sanctuary, aiding her recovery from injuries, enhancing her flexibility, and providing solace after the sudden loss of her elder brother. Her journey from a place of burnout to one of holistic wellbeing is a testament to the transformative power of yoga, which she now shares with the world through YogaHaus.
