Somayeh Dokouhaki

Somi is a 500-hour registered Vinyasa yoga teacher who began her yoga journey in 2010. Her practice started in Iran and later deepened during more than a decade of living and exploring in Finland. In 2021, she moved to the United States, where she continues to teach and share her passion for yoga. Since becoming a teacher, Somi has been continuously teaching and learning. She has completed extensive training, including 200-hour and 300-hour certifications, as well as specialized studies in arm balances, inversions, aerial yoga, and prenatal yoga. Her approach is rooted in curiosity and a deep passion for understanding the body and different families of poses. Somi is especially known for her intelligent Vinyasa sequencing, often building classes around a peak pose and guiding students step by step toward it. In her online classes, she offers clear cueing, thoughtful modifications, and accessible options for all levels. In private sessions, she is highly skilled in hands-on adjustments, helping students feel safe, supported, and more connected to their bodies. She believes yoga is a lifelong journey of exploration, awareness, and growth—both physically and mentally—and she brings this intention into every class she teaches.
