Zaineb “ZiZi” Hassan

My name is Zaineb Hassan and I’m a certified yoga Specialist (RYT-500 HR) and Lululemon ambassador who founded ZiZi Yoga in February of 2016. I specialize in sports performance yoga and work with Elite Athletes worldwide. Born and raised in the Middle East, I moved to America in 2008 to attend Towson University followed by the completion of my PharmD at The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy & Johns Hopkins University.

Upon graduation, I worked at John Hopkins University Hospital and in 2015 relocated to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. Shortly after moving to Georgetown I knew I wanted to pursue a full-time career in instructing yoga. I entered the practice of yoga 12 years ago when I began my rigorous academic career looking for a relaxing outlet. Understanding the importance of yoga and mediation in stressful situations, I started focusing on teaching Performance Athletes my specific style of yoga practice, which primarily entails dynamic, static movement & mindfulness meditation. I now dedicate my time to helping the elite prepare for competition and everyday life, focusing on physical and mental strength facilitated through yoga and meditation.

Carolyn “CJ” Hunter

My inspiration to begin exploring yoga came during a transitional time in my life. I had just moved to Florida, with no job, and needed some sort of hobby to help me cope with the inevitable stress that came with this new chapter in my life. Fast forward four years, and I had fallen in love. I decided it was time for me to continue pursuing my passion and to combine it with my life’s work… teaching. I traveled to Rishikesh India, to complete my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. The best decision I could’ve made. Since then, I have taught both individual and group sessions. I have also incorporated yoga and mindfulness with my students in the classroom.
