Alashhab Loujayn

Loujayn is a Syrian-Austrian expat, yoga teacher, architect, and storyteller whose life journey weaves together creativity, culture, and mindfulness. She has always moved between worlds,between East and West, between the tangible precision of architecture and the fluid awareness of yoga, between the quiet reflection of reading and the vibrant experience of travel. Her path is not a straight line but a mosaic, each piece connected by curiosity, beauty, and a search for meaning.

How yoga entered her life

Her introduction to yoga began like it does for many people, through movement. At first, it was simply a way to stay active, to balance long days of study and work as an architect. But what started as a physical practice quickly opened new doors. She discovered that yoga was not just about flexibility or strength, but about cultivating presence, slowing down enough to listen inward, and reconnecting to what truly matters. That shift changed the way she looked at everything, her body, her work, her relationships, and even her creativity.

Teaching approach and certification

Today, Loujayn is a certified 200-hour yoga teacher registered with the Yoga Alliance. She approaches yoga not as something separate from daily life but as a set of tools that can travel with you anywhere. In her teaching and content creation, she blends mindful movement, breath awareness, and simple, grounding practices designed for everyday well-being. Her classes often weave in storytelling, reflections, and imagery, making each session not only physical but also an invitation to explore the inner landscape of the mind and heart.

Architecture, design, and embodied space

Beyond the mat, Loujayn’s passions expand into art, architecture, and literature. As an architect and designer, she developed an eye for detail and an appreciation for how space, color, and material shape our experience. That same sensitivity translates into her yoga teaching, how a pose feels is just as important as how it looks, and how a room or a practice is arranged can deeply influence how people feel within it.

Art as a living conversation

Her love for art has been a constant companion. She often spends hours wandering through museums, sketching, taking notes, or simply standing still in front of a painting, allowing it to speak. For her, museums are not quiet, distant places but living spaces where stories echo across centuries. She shares these encounters through her writing and online platforms, inviting others to see art not as something locked in the past but as a bridge, one that connects us to human experiences across time and place.

A life between cultures and travel

Travel is another thread running through her life. Living between cultures has given her a unique perspective: she carries Syria’s warmth, storytelling traditions, and deep-rooted sense of belonging alongside Austria’s structure, order, and appreciation for craft. Wherever she goes, she looks for the hidden layers of a place, its art, its rituals, its people, and its unspoken stories.

Books as companions on the journey

Books are her constant travel companions. A devoted reader, she sees reading as another form of journey, one that allows the soul to travel without moving. Whether diving into philosophy, history, or literature, she finds connections between the written word, the practice of yoga, and the creative expressions of art. Each of these paths, yoga, art, and reading, offers its own doorway into reflection, growth, and transformation.

Creating spaces for movement and reflection

Her work, whether teaching yoga or sharing content online, often brings these worlds together. She creates spaces, both physical and digital, where movement, creativity, and reflection meet. For her, teaching is not about instructing but about guiding, holding space, and encouraging others to find their own rhythm of healing and self-connection.

The healing power of beauty

At the heart of everything Loujayn does is a belief in the power of beauty, whether the beauty of a sunrise, a poem, a brushstroke, or a yoga pose. Beauty, she believes, has the power to heal, to soften, and to transform. It reminds us that even in moments of challenge, there is always something to anchor us, inspire us, and bring us back to ourselves.

Continuing the journey

Through yoga, art, travel, and storytelling, Loujayn continues to explore and share this journey. Her voice is gentle yet grounded, reflective yet practical. She hopes that her work inspires others to pause, to breathe, and to rediscover their own pathways of balance and inspiration, wherever they may be.
