Behind RUHANI...
About Me
Growing up between Germany and Pakistan, in a home shaped by my father’s Unani medical practice, I absorbed more about healing than I realized at the time. Unani philosophy quietly informed how we cooked, rested, and made sense of difficulty – it was a way of living, not just a medical system.
From an early age, life brought experiences that left a strong imprint on how I moved through the world. Losing my father at 21 changed my inner landscape completely and began a period of life that felt disorienting and heavy. Learning to find ground again meant discovering tools that did not bypass what I was feeling, but helped me stay present and steady in the middle of it.
Yoga entered my life as a necessity rather than a lifestyle choice, when a debilitating herniated disc and years of pain forced me to meet my body differently. Over time, practice became a place where challenge, exhaustion, faith, and resilience could coexist, and where a different relationship to my body and inner world slowly formed. As my health and stability rebuilt, teaching emerged as a natural extension. I became a certified yoga teacher and over the past decade I have worked with executives, athletes, and individuals on deeply personal journeys in Germany, the United States, and Morocco.
Today, I am formally studying to become an Unani practitioner, returning to the roots I grew up with and integrating them with lived experience and yogic practice. RUHANI is the name I give to this way of working – where Unani philosophy, embodied practice, and a life lived through significant change, come together – for those who have outgrown quick fixes and seek a grounded, thoughtful companion on their path toward meaningful, lasting change.
