Alia Khan

Hi friends! Alia is a recovering attorney turned yoga teacher and studio owner based in Austin, TX, and she teaches people how to unapologetically live their Satya (truth) - both on and off the yoga mat! Her experience as a yoga student involved a lot of being ignored by teachers who had no idea how to handle my "non-yoga" body. So she figured out how to use props and variations to make the practice work for my body, and developed the Hamaara Yoga Method to teach others to do the same. Alia also struggled to find a studio where she really fits in. They were either too hippie dippie for her (they put the "cult" in cultural appropriation!), or too physically aggressive (hot, intense workout yoga that honestly felt kind of unsafe).
