Simply put, learning from Farida is a joy and has been transformative for my yoga practice. As a fellow teacher and someone who has practiced for 15 years, I can confidently say that Farida is among the best, if not the best yoga teacher I have encountered. From the way she clearly, gently, and precisely articulates proper form, to her understanding of yogic philosophy, to her spiritually-attuned style, Farida has all the qualities one should look for in a teacher. She is supportive, good natured, wise, warm hearted, and clearly in love with the practice. Plus, she plays singing bowls beautifully! If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to learn from Farida, don't pass it up.

I met Farida at my yoga certification course at The Yoga Institute with Lex Gillan. I immediately fell in love with her passionate teaching, her knowledge and her expertise, especially in sequencing the classes. Farida has transformed and impacted my personal and professional life in unmeasurable ways. Her gentle yet strong approach to her teaching is the empowerment of her pupils.

Farida Meguid and I first connected over 20 years ago. She completed my Yoga Teacher Training and National Certification Course in 2016 and has been my teaching assistant in both my 200 and 500 hour certification courses since 2017. Farida shares old school yoga wisdom in a contemporary setting. No stone is left unturned in her teaching, including yoga postures, breathing practices, philosophy, and meditation. Since Farida has taught in a variety of public venues, she has cast a wide net over the yoga world for a very long time. Farida's desire to deepen her own practice is insatiable. She walks the talk and encourages her students to do the same - take the teaching off the mat and include it in every facet of one's daily life.

Lex Gillan, Owner and Founder of The Yoga Institute
Belly Dancing class with Farida was amazing. My teenage daughter and I participated in it and it was wonderfully and artistically led. We love the facilitation by Farida as her essence shines into all of her work and the circle of participants. It is impactful on so many levels. The class has a nice build up to empower us through the culmination of feeling into our emotions, connecting to our bodies and allowing for unfolding into movement and a choreographed dance by the end of the first day!! The harmony with the group was the cherry on top, delightful and effortless.

I have to say, Farida delivers on her promises of providing incredible, real yoga. Not only does she leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, but also a deep sense of connection to yourself and the community that surrounds us. She is an amazing teacher, with such a calming and nurturing presence that made me feel completely at ease. Her instructions are thoughtful and precise, guiding you through each pose and meditation with such grace and fluidity… and her voice is so soothing that it truly gives you a healing experience. Her sound baths are equally amazing, with the beautiful sounds of crystal singing bowls washing over you, with the vibrations taking you to a place of deep relaxation and peace. I would highly recommend Farida’s yoga classes, actually, all her offerings, to anyone looking for a truly transformative experience. Her passion and dedication to her practice is truly inspiring, and I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her.

Farida lead my yoga teacher certification course at the Yoga Institute in the Medical Center. I sought out her and Lex Gillan because I respected their knowledge and I was excited to take their course. We could not have been a more diverse group and her teaching experience was evident immediately. We all felt seen and important. She illuminated yoga theory, asana, and breath work for hours at a time and still found connection with us during our breaks. Farida is a very calming presence, so I was motivated by her instruction. She guided my strengths and challenged my weaknesses. I learned so much more than I expected and became more authentic. My connection to my own practice and the people around me deepened. I am grateful for the time she has given to me.

I’ve had the privilege of being guided by Farida for over five years. What truly sets Farida apart is that she has extensive knowledge and experience and is warm and compassionate. Farida creates a nurturing and safe environment in which she offers modifications with an emphasis on form. Her meditation with sound bowls is transformative. And I would follow Farida to wherever she teaches!

Farida is the embodiment of feminine strength and grace. My intention for dance lessons was to continue to build a relationship to my body in a grounded, autonomous, sensual way; owning all of the pieces of my femininity. Reclaiming. During our dance sessions together she would listen, both to my words and my movements, witnessing my clumsiness without making me feel ashamed or not good enough; rather providing a safe space for me to explore and offering approaches for me to get curious with myself. Farida is a deep well of wisdom, a pillar of community, and a fiercely compassionate human. I’m so honored to be her student.

Farida’s belly dancing class brought me to life! It was my first time trying belly dancing and she has such a great presence and warm energy, I felt completely at ease. The class itself was easy to follow as a beginner, Farida broke down each movement in the warm up before teaching us a quick combination to move across the floor and add our own style. It was so fun and expressive! I felt completely embodied, free, and flowing with energy. I also loved connecting with everyone in the class and feeling the collective power we generated together. I can't wait to do it again!

Farida does not just teach yoga — she lives it. Her deeply rooted, expansive knowledge of yoga, in its truest sense, can be seen both on and off the mat. Farida’s teachings flow through her with a touch of grace, and she exemplifies how to live as a yogi in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world — with balance, poise and inner harmony. This is why Farida is my Teacher.
