Having navigated cycles of addictive behaviour, depression, anxiety, and chronic illness for much of her life, discovering Yoga & Ayurveda became the foundation of her ability to find inner peace & physical healing. Motivated by her personal transformation journey, she embarked on the path of becoming a yoga teacher & Ayurvedic lifestyle advisor, driven by a deep desire to guide others on their own unique paths toward personal and spiritual growth. Her teaching style seamlessly blends ancient yogic wisdom with contemporary insights, guiding students to explore their bodies and minds through posture, pranayama, philosophy, and meditation. Sayeeda embraces the dynamic nature of each student's journey and recognises that their needs evolve, so she offers a diverse range of yoga styles to cater to this fluidity. Understanding that each practitioner seeks something unique on the mat, she aims to create a space where individuals can explore and find resonance in various practices. As an Ayurvedic lifestyle advisor, Sayeeda uses the wisdom of this ancient healing system to offer individually tailored guidance to enhance well-being and foster vitality. She works closely with individuals to assess their unique constitution and imbalances and offers practical guidance on daily routines, nutrition, stress management, and how to use herbs & spices to help restore harmony and balance in both body and mind.

Lately, you might have noticed me speaking more openly about the shadow side of yoga and wellness. Some might even think I’m being negative. But really, what I’m trying to do is shine a light on something that often gets brushed aside: the tendency to skip over the harder parts of life in the name of “staying positive.”

That’s called spiritual bypass, using practices or mantras to avoid discomfort rather than facing and integrating it.

But here’s the truth: that’s not yoga.

Yoga means union. It’s about holding all parts of ourselves, grief, anger, and despair, just as much as joy and bliss.

After coming out the other side of a six-year burnout, I’ve been reflecting deeply on this. With more clarity, I’ve started sharing more honestly about what I’ve seen and experienced.

I’ve written about it in my new blog - https://sadayoga.co.uk/2025/09/04/spiritual-bypass-myth-of-being-healed/

04/09/2025

Living with chronic illness has forced me to face myself in ways I never would have chosen.
But yoga gave me a way to soften into that reality instead of fighting it.

It isn’t about bypassing pain or pretending things are fine, it’s about finding a deeper kind of acceptance.

These are some of the reminders I return to again and again, the ones that keep me steady when things feel uncertain.

Our next Yoga Nidra Sound Bath will be a cosy one…

The weather has shifted, the mornings feel a little cooler, and it’s the perfect time to roll up with blankets, soften into stillness and snuggle up for the gongs.

If you haven’t been to one before, this could be the moment to give it a try. Generally, people leave feeling less stressed, more grounded, and a little lighter; it’s like a reset for body and mind that carries into the rest of the day.

Join us on 13th September for this special session.

✨ Spaces are limited, so book ahead to save your spot.

I’ve been thinking a lot about access to yoga lately. So much of what’s on offer can feel like a luxury: higher-end classes, premium studios, prices to match. And often, the people who might need yoga the most are the ones who can’t afford it, or can’t easily access it.

To me, yoga isn’t just a series of poses or a physical practice; it’s a tool for wellbeing and for reconnecting, even when life feels overwhelming. And honestly, Yoga Nidra might be one of the most accessible practices of all. No movement is required, so even if you live with pain or physical limitations, you can still benefit from it.

That’s why all my Yoga Nidra recordings are free on Insight Timer, so anyone, anywhere, can tap into a practice that supports body and mind. It’s also why I’m part of the Go4Free scheme: designed for people currently doing less than 30 minutes of movement a week, with the first five sessions completely free.

And for those who feel called to go a little deeper, I’m offering two discounted places on my Autumn Retreat on 19th October, for anyone who might not otherwise be able to come.

Yoga is about meeting yourself where you are not about what you can pay or what you “should” be able to do. Everyone deserves the chance to feel a little lighter, a little more centred, a little more at home in their own body.

That’s the kind of yoga I want to offer.

Seeing as it’s all of a sudden very autumnal today, I’ve got something that fits quite nicely! 🍂

My Autumn Retreat Day Bookings are now open. 😊

This day is a chance to learn how Ayurveda & Yoga can support us through the seasonal changes, exploring how our energy naturally shifts and why choosing the right practices for the time of year, and for you personally, is key to finding balance and wellbeing.

We’ll nourish ourselves with a grounding foot massage from and a warming, seasonal meal from our resident , before resting deeply with Yoga Nidra, practicing grounding pranayama, and moving through yoga designed to support the autumn shift.

It’s also a day to gather, share space and connect with others, leaving you feeling rooted, calm, and ready to move into autumn with greater ease and resilience.

✨ Im also offering two accessible spots that are available if price is a barrier for you. Details on the event description.

Spots are limited, so grab your place and step into autumn gently.

I want my classes to feel welcoming, like there’s space for you to show up exactly as you are. You don’t need to feel “at your best” to step onto the mat. The practice will always meet you where you are.

Here are five things I often remind my students (and myself) during practice:

1. Whatever you have to give today is enough. Some days you’ll feel strong and spacious, other days you’ll feel tired or heavy. Both are valid, and both belong here.
2. Rest is always an option. Lying down, pausing, or taking a gentler variation doesn’t mean you’re doing less, it means you’re listening.
3. Let your energy levels guide you. Push when it feels right, soften when it doesn’t. Your body is your best teacher.
4. Tune into what you really need. Sometimes that’s stillness, sometimes it’s movement, sometimes it’s simply breath. Let the practice be flexible enough to hold that.
5. Be curious. Notice how your body responds, explore without judgment, and allow yourself to discover something new, even in the familiar.

Yoga isn’t about perfect shapes or ticking off poses. It’s about giving yourself what you need on that particular day, in that particular moment.

There’s a myth that yoga teachers and “wellness people” have it all figured out.

That once you’ve done the work and found the tools, you’re suddenly healed.

I used to believe that too.

But what I’ve learnt is that healing and a spiritual practice isn’t a finish line. It isn’t neat. It spirals, it circles back, it asks you to meet yourself again and again, with whatever is there.

And sometimes, healing just looks like learning how to live alongside the pain. To manage it without losing yourself. And that’s ok.

I’ve known darkness, grief, illness, loss. And I don’t run from it anymore. It’s part of me. And it means I can sit with you in yours too. Without rushing to fix it, without looking away.

Because healing isn’t about denying the hard parts, it’s about integrating them.

Wholeness comes from saying yes to all of it.

If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and know you’re not alone. I’m walking too.

Some things you can only hear when you’re safe.

When you’re living with chronic illness, your body is likely already in survival mode. Your system is doing everything it can just to get through the day.

So when someone drops a line like

“Your soul manifested this”

It’s not helpful.

It’s harmful.

Not because it’s 100% untrue (there might be a time when those kinds of questions are useful)…but because when you’re ill, exhausted, and mentally drained, you’re in no position to hold that kind of spiritual weight.

The message lands as blame. Or worse, as shame.

And if your nervous system is already fried, your body can’t even access the spaciousness required to reflect like that.

That kind of thinking demands regulation, resourcing, and deep compassion, not spiritual posturing dressed up as insight.

So if you’ve ever felt guilted by the idea that you “created” your illness or “manifested your reality”, please know:

You’re not wrong.

You’re not broken.

You’re already carrying more than enough.

Let’s stop pathologising people’s pain in the name of spirituality.

Start by meeting them where they are, not where you think their soul should be.

I’ve written a new blog that dives deeper into this, unpacking the nuances, the harm, and what more inclusive wellness spaces could look like. - Read it here https://sadayoga.co.uk/2025/08/07/wellness-culture-and-chronic-illness/

Have you ever been told something like this?

Sayeeda believes whole heartedly in the transformative power a consistent yoga practice can have on the entire human experience. Her personal practice is rooted in the traditional Ashtanga method, and has led her to a new way of thinking, transforming her life and enabling her to sit comfortably within herself for the first time. Her calling to become a teacher was driven by the desire to help others on their own personal and spiritual journeys.

Completing her teacher training with Bristol School Of Yoga, she is an avid student of all things Yoga. Her practice is not only physical postures but a way of life, and she continually develops her practice on and off the mat so that she can share and give back to her students. She has a growing passion for Yoga philosophy and hopes to undertake some further academic training in this area in the near future.

Sayeeda’s desire to learn more has taken her across the world, and she has been fortunate enough to practice and train with Jarad Maccan, and world renowned Ashtangi Kino Macgreggor.
