ABOUT
ME
I am the founder of Grace of The Goddess, where I lead a series of experiential Tantra workshops. With a mission to transform society from disconnection to profound connection, I aim to create safe and transformative spaces for participants to explore personal and relational growth through a Tantric lens.
My workshops blend theory, somatic exercises, breathwork, conscious communication, and guided practices, all aimed at deepening self-awareness, embodiment, and connection with others.
I am dedicated to guiding individuals towards deeper relationships with themselves, others, and the divine, while embracing erotic innocence, joy, and playfulness.
I guide individuals to reconnect with their inner wisdom, awaken their sensual life force, and live with radical presence, pleasure, and authenticity. My sessions are rooted in sacred ancient Vedic practices, sacred intimacy, breathwork, energy alchemy through somatic practices, and emotional clearing.
Whether seeking personal healing, expanded pleasure, or deeper spiritual intimacy — I am here to hold and welcome all aspects of you.
I specialize in guiding, facilitating, and creating safe environments for people to have transformative experiences within.
A Journey of Transformation
I was born in Iran, and at six my parents risked everything to bring us to Sweden, escaping war and suppression. Their courage taught me the value of freedom and the strength to walk my own path.
Growing up as an immigrant child, I learned resilience while thriving in movement and sport. I became a lawyer, but at 30 I felt a deep shift. I left my career and engagement to begin a spiritual quest, traveling the world and embracing creativity. In Bali 2013, I discovered my love for yoga, a practice that anchored me in the present and opened the door to profound healing.
In 2013, Bali became a turning point. There, I discovered yoga—a practice that brought me peace, joy, and a freedom I had never known. Yoga anchored me in the present moment and guided me through a powerful rebirth, opening the door to mental, spiritual, and emotional healing. My love for yoga began here, and my path truly took flight.
Over the years, I’ve been blessed to sit in sacred shamanic ceremonies with indigenous tribes of the Amazon. These experiences deepened my connection to the elements, expanded my relationship with the earth, and rooted my work in the wisdom of nature and spirit. They taught me to weave ancestral knowledge, elemental connection, and embodied presence into every offering I share.
In 2025, when my father passed away in Iran, I was met with immense grief. Yet through the Tantric practices I had embodied, I found surrender, trust, and peace. I learned to alchemize grief into love, grace, and alignment, stepping fully into my priestess path—the healing work I have always known I was meant to do.
Tantra has transformed my life, and I am devoted to sharing its sacred medicine. I honor the gift of freedom my father, Hossein, gave me when he brought us out of Iran to Sweden. Because of him, I live fully—and I walk this path for all Iranian women who have not yet had that chance, who remain under oppression. By teaching Tantra as an Iranian woman, I am breaking generational and cultural taboos, reclaiming power, and offering liberation through love, presence, and truth.
Certified Yoga Instructor —Training & Experience
Since 2013, I've had the pleasure of practicing various yoga styles, including Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar, Rocket, Dharma, 4BEAT, as well as Restorative, Sound Healing, and Meditation. I completed my Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga teacher training in India, which was an incredibly transformative experience. Following that, I pursued Anna Ashby's Restorative Yoga Teacher Training in London to deepen my understanding and practice.
Recently, I completed Marcus Veda’s 4BEAT Yoga Teacher Training, which added a new dimension to my practice. In 2025, I completing a 10-month Trauma-Informed Tantra Facilitator training with the London School of Tantra, in the modern Tantra and Neo Tantra lineage, which has been life changing for me.
In addition to my yoga teacher trainings, I also completed several Vipassana silent meditation retreats, which encompasses each time a 100-hour meditation course over 10 days. My first one was staying at a monastery in Nepal, Lumbini. These retreats have profoundly impacted my meditation practice and personal growth which has enhanced my facilitation for others.
Moreover, I have had the honor of being initiated by Sadhguru into the Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya. I have also received guru transmission and initiation from Uma Amma and Guruji from the Devipuram Ashram in Sri Vidya, which encompasses classical Tantra practices, including devotional mantra, puja, yantra, and tantra.
I am excited to share these experiences and learnings with you and hope they inspire you in your own practice. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of these practices further.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey. I look forward to connecting with you soon.

I blend mindfulness, compassion, and ancient wisdom in my classes. My focus is on safe alignment and the flow of breath with movement, creating a practice that is both challenging and enjoyable. Whether it’s Ashtanga, Dynamic Vinyasa, 4BEAT, or Restorative, I aim to share with you the transformative benefits yoga & tantra has given me over the years helping you become stronger, flexible, and balanced physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I believe in nurturing self-compassion, building confidence, and cultivating awareness. Through my teaching, I hope to help you connect with your true self and experience yoga’s transformative power, both on and off the mat.
I look forward to seeing you on the mat!
