Mahny’s Story

She was born in Switzerland to a British mother and Iranian father. Since the age of seven, she spent most of her time surrounded by nature in the Swiss Alps spending as much time as possible with animals. Her love for animals lead her to write her first children’s book, “The Story of a Girl and a Mouse”, which follows a mouse with yogic superpowers.

In 2009 she visited Los Angeles for a yoga workshop. There she had a “Eureka Moment.” on Venice beach as she observed owners meditating with their dogs during a glorious sunset.  Her love for teaching yoga and her unconditional love for dogs lead her to combine the two most favorite things. She developed her own brand and teaching style throughout the past eight years and began teaching DOGA at Harrods Pet Spa in 2012.
