Teacher Spotlight: Hala Khouri
|  Hala Khouri, M.A., E-RYT, has been teaching the movement arts for over 20 years. Her roots are in Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga, dance, Somatic Psychology, and the juicy mystery of Life itself. Creative movement and honest self-exploration has always been a source of tremendous healing for Hala, and her calling to share this with others has been clear to her since she began teaching at the age of 16.
Hala is one of the creators of Off the Mat, Into the World, along with Seane Corn and Suzanne Sterling. She has taught yoga and the movement arts to a wide variety of people and places ranging from juvenile detention centers, mental health hospital and police stations, to yoga studios, conference halls and jungles. Teaching is something that will always be apart of her and that reflects in her lifelong yogic journey. Learn more... |
