Teacher Introduction
Meet Sahnuwadj
Udjahee, (Greetings)!
My name is SahNuWadj Reza. I am a Dogon Initiate, Kemetic Yoga Practitioner, Certified Yoga Teacher, Artist, and Hairstylist, among other things. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, however I have a love for travelling and exploring different parts of the world. I’m of Caribbean, South Asian, and African descent.
I have been practicing Yoga since 2019.
In June 2025, I received my Kebtah – (M’Tam School) Ka’at Ibi (Kemetic Yoga Certification). In July 2026, I completed my Modo Yoga – (200-Hour Foundational Teacher Training Certification).
I particularly enjoy teaching Kemetic Yoga (Ka’at Ibi), a practice inspired by the imagery, symbolism, and postures depicted on the temple walls of Ancient Kemet (Egypt).
Kemetic Yoga shares similarities with traditional Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga, incorporating movement, breathwork, meditation, and intentional postures. Many of the posture names are derived from the Medu language of Ancient Kemet, and the postures themselves draw inspiration from depictions found throughout ancient temples.
Contrary to popular belief, Africa also has a rich history of spiritual and physical practices that share similarities with what we recognize today as Yoga. Although the terminology may differ across cultures and languages, practices such as Ka’at Ibi reflect an African approach to the relationship between the body, mind, and spirit.
Through my own research and exploration of history, spirituality, and different cultures, I’ve come to recognize fascinating similarities among people across the world. Despite our differences in language, geography, and cultural traditions, we share many common themes, experiences, and spiritual concepts.
To me, these connections are a beautiful reminder that humanity has far more in common than we sometimes realize.
My intention as a Yoga Teacher is to create a peaceful and welcoming environment where you can relax, destress, reconnect with yourself, and rejuvenate.
My hope is that through your practice, you cultivate Peace, Strength, Stability, Harmony, and Balance on the mat, allowing these qualities to extend beyond your practice and manifest throughout your everyday life.
Ankh, Udja, Seneb Neb!
Hetepu! 🙏🏾
