Hi, i’m Ayah Birakdar
I’m an Ayurvedic practitioner and yoga teacher dedicated to helping you soften, heal and bloom. Through Ayurveda and a therapeutic, soft approach to yoga, I guide those on deep healing journeys to find rest, nourishment, and balance.
My work weaves together ancient Vedic teachings, nervous system support, and practical lifestyle shifts to create space for transformation. Whether thorugh one-on-one guidance, herbal support, or immersive practices, I’m here to help create a container for your expansion and growth.
I believe its important to help people find more agency and autonomy of their health in a holistic manner, without relying on institutions that prioritize profits over people. Much of my work revolves around understanding and soothing the nervous system, promoting preventative health, and supporting the subtle and physical body.
