Today we’d like to introduce you to Ammarah Sadiq
Hi Ammarah, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey into the realm of Yoga began over a decade ago, when I became an instructor for ‘Bharat Thakur Artistic Yoga’, teaching across India. I went on to mastering various Yoga disciplines, including RYT 200 in Hatha Yoga and Prenatal Yoga, each adding a unique layer to my expertise. Life took a serendipitous turn when I married a Minnesota native and moved to the vibrant city of Minneapolis. Embracing motherhood, I balanced my new roles, while nurturing my passion for Yoga. My flexibility and adaptability led me back to my true calling, and Anahata Yoga came to life.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As a third-generation yoga practitioner from a devout muslim family, my journey has been both rewarding and challenging. I embarked on rigorous yoga training, driven by a passion to prove myself and forge my own path.
However my family’s traditional expectations clashed with my dreams. They envisioned marriage and settlement while I yearned self-discovery and personal growth. Defying conventions I persued my training.
Now as a hijabi yoga instructor, I face curious questions about my faith and profession. But I’ve come to realise that my identity is a strength not a contradiction. Yoga has taught me resilience, balance and self-awareness- values that are deeply rooted across the board.
Through Yoga, I’ve found harmony between faith, culture and personal aspiration. Im proud to share my story,breaking stereotypes and inspiring others to embrace their uniqueness.
One of my favorite quotes- “The way to find yourself is in the fires of your enthusiasm.”- Earl Nightingale
