Rashida

Rashida's yoga journey over two decades ago in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 2020, she moved to the Chicago area to share her passion for Hot yoga, particularly the transformative 26+2 series. Having immersed herself in yoga for over 20 years, Rashida's deep connection with Bikram yoga in 2013 marked the beginning of a profound journey.

The moment Rashida stepped into her first Bikram class, she was captivated. Having previously engaged in numerous half marathons, she recognized the imperative of integrating yoga into her lifestyle to preserve her body from the wear and tear of rigorous running. With over a decade of experience in the corporate healthcare sector, specializing in physical therapy, Rashida discerned the need for change. Driven by her desire to continue aiding others while pursuing her passion, Rashida embarked on a 250-hour yoga teacher training journey, delving into the intricacies of the Hot 26+2 sequence under the guidance of Evolation Yoga in Santa Barbara.

For Rashida, yoga is not just a practice but a way of life, providing both physical and mental balance. She is dedicated to sharing the transformative power of yoga and eagerly anticipates continuing her journey as a teacher for years to come.
