Behind RUHANI...
About Me
Growing up between Germany and Pakistan with a father who practiced Unani medicine, I absorbed more about healing than I realized at the time. My father built and maintained a busy practice, being one of the first Unani practitioners in Germany, where he treated patients from across Europe. In our home, Unani philosophy wasn't just a medical tradition – it was how we approached everything from daily meals to emotional well-being. Growing up partly in Pakistan, I embodied these traditions from multiple cultural perspectives. These early foundations gave me a unique lens that only revealed its true value when I began my own journey as a yoga teacher.
Yoga entered my life not as a choice, but as a necessity. After suffering from a debilitating herniated disc and enduring years of pain, I found healing through Yoga when other approaches failed. What began as a physical recovery gradually transformed into something much deeper – a practice that opened doors to a more profound understanding of life itself. As I healed, teaching became my way of sharing what I’d learned, and I've spent the past decade teaching in Germany, the United States and Morocco.
With each person I've worked with, I've continued to learn and grow. Now, I find myself drawn back to my roots, studying to become an Unani practitioner myself — completing a circle that perhaps was always meant to be. I'm grateful for the trust placed in me by the people I've worked with – from business executives navigating complex demands, to athletes seeking better recovery and performance, to individuals on journeys of personal growth, through deeper understanding and intentional self-work. Each of these relationships has taught me something valuable about connection between body, mind, and spirit.
RUHANI is more than my practice – it's a way of life. It represents an ongoing learning journey. This philosophy extends into every aspect of my work with individuals who seek substance beyond trends, who believe in the value of intentional approaches, and who want a thoughtful partnership in their path towards meaningful change.
