Suleiha Suguna - Yoga Principal

"Maya Yoga Studio was founded on the principle of enabling every individual to take control of their health and life. This is every individual's right. My belief is that good health supersedes - wealth and happiness. Without health, one cannot enjoy accumulated wealth or be happy. Practiced with the right technique and a learned instructor, Yoga guarantees a lifetime of being able to pursue what matters to you without having to worry or become limited by weak health. "

Suleiha, a 6th generation instructor, has been practicing and teaching yoga for over 35 years. Her yoga journey began at the tender age of 7 under the tutelage and guidance of her father, Professor H.A. Rao, a renowned yogi. Professor H.A. Rao guided and taught his daughter to attain a deep understanding of yoga that surpasses any books.

It was her father’s vision to bring yoga to a wider audience. Suleiha travelled with her father on many of his international tours where he helped to promote and establish yoga institutions globally, especially in Japan where he was responsible for the creation of almost 2000 yoga centers.

Her father was also one of the ambassadors that would show how yoga therapies can cure illness, disease and various medical conditions. As a result, a particular forte of Suleiha’s is Yoga Therapy where she has been able to help relieve and/or cure various illnesses that her students have suffered from.
