Mid-way through 2022, I moved away from leading practice for others in formal studio settings. I invite you to join me in practicing with Tejal Yoga or Aliya Mughal.
I’m a joyful, spiritual, and socially conscious practitioner. Yoga is a practice, a way of being, I endeavor to honor as I share it with others. I enthusiastically welcome all identities, bodies, and experience-levels to practice with me. I love holding space and working with newcomers. Both group and private sessions are filled with invitations (not expectations) to move with intention, connect movement and breath, play, discover, and release. This is your practice. Yoga is the teacher.
I lead Yin and Restorative practice at Pranam Yoga Shala (now The Heart Space) in Omaha, NE in 2021 and 2022.
Prior to the start of the pandemic, in Washington, DC, I was honored to work with Faith Hunter and the amazing community of teachers and practitioners at the now closed Embrace Yoga DC. I led Embrace Flow, Restorative, and Yoga + Social Justice. I also led Gentle, Restorative, Yin, and All Levels Flow group classes at Yoga Heights and subbed various class formats at Honest Soul Yoga (Falls Church and West Springfield). I taught classes for children in schools, and parents and children in community centers, through Breathing Space. I facilitated sessions on-site at businesses for their staff and clients, and conducted home practice with individuals at their residence and mine. On March 15, 2020, I began hosting free practice on Zoom. My Embrace Yoga studio classes eventually transitioned online and I led practice through Spring 2021. I also promoted the online practices of the amazing Valerie Rucker and Clifford Cartel (UPDATE: now practicing online and in studios)!
