Zaineb “ZiZi” Hassan is a Certified Yoga Elite Trainer who founded ZiZi Yoga in February of 2016. ZiZi specializes in sports performance yoga and works with Elite Athletes worldwide. Born and raised in the Middle East, she moved to America in 2008 to attend Towson University followed by the completion of her PharmD at The University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. Upon graduation, ZiZi worked at John Hopkins University Hospital and in 2015 relocated to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. Shortly after moving to Georgetown ZiZi knew she wanted to pursue a full-time career in instructing yoga. She entered the practice of yoga 12 years ago when she began her rigorous academic career looking for a relaxing outlet. Understanding the importance of yoga and mediation in stressful situations, ZiZi started focusing on teaching Elite Performance Athletes her specific style of yoga practice, which primarily entails dynamic and static stretching. She now dedicates her time to helping Elite Athletes prepare for competition and everyday life – focusing on physical, mental, and emotional strength facilitated through yoga and meditation.
