43 | theTYPEAhippie Podcast | ChiCast: Yoga, Islam, Service & Public Policy (Ahmed Soliman)

Ahmed Soliman is an inspiration both on the mat and off. I've not yet met him, but hope to someday soon.

Because Ahmed was given a common Egyptian name (Ahmed Soliman), his friends nicknamed him "Soli" to set me apart from others. Over the past several years, this name evolved and merged with his yoga practice and yogic lifestyle. Ahmed has come to embody the moniker he chose for his site: yogisoli.

Before Ahmed found yoga and began teaching, he was a wildlife biologist and environmental scientist. Serving the natural environment and helping to recover endangered species was his way of giving to a greater good. This is a concept that he's carried daily into a yogic lifestyle, both in teaching and in practice. He seeks to serve his community in a way that supports strength, healing and sustainability.
