Our story

About Eiva

Eiva began with one simple belief: wellness should not be a competition. We built a place where women can practise without judgement, without rivalry, at their own pace.

How Eiva began

How Eiva began

Years ago, after a long stretch of desk work and chronic back pain, Maryam Alavi walked into her first yoga class. It was meant to be simple exercise; what she found was a way back to herself.

Some years later, teaching as an instructor, she noticed a pattern: many of the women coming to class were tired of crowded, high-pressure spaces. They were looking for somewhere they could breathe.

Eiva grew out of that need. A small club in Zafaraniyeh with a limited number of mats per session, natural light, and instructors who know your name.

Our mission

We want every woman who walks through the door at Eiva to leave a little lighter than she arrived — in body and in mind. Not through pressure or comparison, but through sound practice and genuine attention.

What we stand for

Our values

No competition

nobody at Eiva is measured against anybody else. Your practice is yours.

Small groups

every session has a limited capacity so the instructor can reach each person.

Safety first

every posture is taught with alternatives. You are never obliged.

A women's space

all classes, services and staff at the club are for women.

Transparency

prices, rules and capacity are all on the website. There are no hidden costs.

Continuity

wellness does not happen in one session; we walk the path with you.

Come and see for yourself

Book a single session first if you like — no commitment, just come and practise.
