Vaheeda Tariq, first practiced yoga for the physical benefits hoping to lose weight and become more fit. As her body became stronger and healthier, she soon discovered that her yoga mat was a place to find a sense of contentment, self-awareness, and mind-body connection.

When Vaheeda decided to enroll for Hatha Yoga teacher training, she only hoped to deepen her own practice, however, the more she learned and, the more her intention turned to teach and sharing the practice she loves with others. As a teacher, Vaheeda realizes that yoga is not a “one size fits all” practice and that every person is on a different path, so she pursued her study of yoga and did her Masters in Yoga from S-VYASA, learning more about how yoga can be applied to help and heal people with lifestyle diseases and common ailments. Curious about different styles she further did her teachers training course in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vaheeda further did her training in Rehab Pilates from APPI so that she can use the best of both Yoga and Pilates in her way of teaching. All the experiences she had while studying different forms helped her put together a style of her own. Vaheeda has been practicing yoga since 2010 and teaching group classes since her 1st yoga teacher training course in 2013 .She has been taking online classes since 2020 .She has been working in association with Consult Yoga. She has also been teaching children between the ages of 6 to 16 of SSVM Institutions and working as faculty of the school. She worked with Everheal Healthcare as a Yoga consultant helping the team create yoga protocols and is conducting group classes for Postnatal and Prenatal women.

She tries to offer her students, be it adults or children, the opportunity to take that path in their own way at their own pace, to modify when needed and to honor how they feel at all times. Vaheeda believes in the motto Abhyasa – Practice with perseverance. The very heart of yoga is Abhyasa – steady effort in the direction of your goal. Practice not just to get it right, Practice so that you will never get it wrong. Vaheeda finds immense joy, satisfaction, and inspiration in seeing students discover themselves in their personal yoga journey and hopes to nurture and encourage them along their path.
