About Us

YogaHaus | South Asian Woman–Founded

Born from a journey of healing, resilience, and truth.

Layla, founder of YogaHaus, is a globally recognised expert with 15+ years in fitness, yoga, holistic wellbeing, and alternative medicine. Her path began in competitive bodybuilding, where she learned the discipline of pushing physical limits. But after a career-ending injury and the sudden loss of her elder brother, her world shifted.

Seeking refuge, she found herself taking her first solo trip, to a 14 day yoga retreat in 2015, where for the first time in years she allowed herself to feel, to cry, and to begin healing. That retreat experience cracked her open and became a turning point.

What followed was a solo global journey into the heart of wellbeing:

• Training as a yoga teacher to share what had healed her.
• Immersing in meditation at Nepalese monasteries.
• Trekking solo to Everest Base Camp where, stripped of fear and distraction - she discovered a profound truth: that when we strip away fear, titles, and masks, living on basic necessities, we meet ourselves fully.
  • This is where the name YogaHaus came to her.
• Continuing explorations through Mayan therapies and indigenous plant medicine in Mexico and Peru, and traditional Chinese medicine.

Rooted in Heritage

Drawing from her Ayurvedic Indian heritage and summers spent in India with her mother until adulthood, travelling to many ashrams, sitting with scholars; Layla brings Eastern wisdom into modern, inclusive practices. Her vision is to bridge East and West while uplifting South Asian and underrepresented voices in yoga.
