Born and raised in the UK to Persian parents, Arra grew up playing soccer and boxing in college. Unfortunately, due to injuries, he had to give up practicing both sports so he began the search for something new to fill the void. This is when his yoga journey began. After moving to Miami in 2017, Arra discovered the practice through various studios and knew early on that yoga is something he could lean on for the rest of his life.

In 2020, a good friend and yoga teacher invited him to visit Skanda Studio, and through being warmly welcomed into the Skanda community, Arra’s passion and appreciation for yoga grew exponentially.
He discovered the importance of the inner form and the power we all have in using the breath to deepen our practice.

Arra recently completed the Skanda 200 hour teacher training program and is excited to help others explore the practice of yoga. With a passion for inversions and arm balances, Arra’s goal in teaching is to help others challenge themselves and become their own remover of obstacles, all while having fun.
