What to expect in the Yoga In Kuwait episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
Sanaa Jaman, the founder of Tru Yoga in Kuwait, shares her inspiring journey of creating a unique yoga studio that focuses on the mind, body, and soul connection. The studio's name, "Tru Yoga," serves as a reminder to their community about the importance of holistic well-being. Her journey into the yoga world and the establishment of her studio were serendipitous and driven by her desire to play, explore, and embrace opportunities that came her way. Every step of creating the studio was taken with love and intentionality, from the choice of paint color to the materials used, creating a mindful and nostalgic experience for visitors.
Sanaa also shares the concept of "Ikigai," which influenced her goal of creating a simple, intentional, and mindful experience for her students. The tea room in her studio, inspired by Japanese culture, symbolizes community and seeking truth together.
Throughout the podcast, Sanaa gives insights into Kuwait's culture, its slow-paced and community-oriented lifestyle, and how yoga is slowly starting to blossom in Kuwait as well.
When asked about her personal definition of yoga, Sanaa beautifully describes it as the awareness of self and connecting to oneself. Through this journey of self-discovery and acceptance, one can find inner peace and embrace all emotions and limitations.
Additionally, Sanaa's experience hosting international retreats and training programs offers valuable insights for yoga practitioners interested in creating transformative and nurturing experiences for their participants.
This podcast episode provides a glimpse into the world of Tru Yoga and Sanaa Jaman's passion for sharing the mind-body-soul connection with her community. Listeners are encouraged to explore yoga beyond the physical postures, seek truth, and find peace within themselves, just as Sanaa has done with her studio and her life's path.
