I know what it is like to search for answers.

I’m Hoda, a yoga teacher and coach, and the founder of Mind Body Endo.

For years, I wondered why my body hurt so much, why I was being told it was normal, and where to turn for care. I know what it is like to have pain dismissed, to search for the right doctor, to grieve infertility, and to fear what endometriosis might mean for the future.

Receiving a diagnosis and undergoing two surgeries were important parts of my care. Alongside that care, I was learning how to live with everything the experience had changed.

Yoga became a way to care for myself. Through gentle movement, rest, and attention, I began listening to my body and responding to what I needed. Sometimes that meant a short practice. Sometimes it meant simply resting with care.

Even when pain remained, there was something I could offer myself. Over time, this helped me feel less powerless and more able to trust my experience and participate in my own care.

As other women began reaching out with their own questions, I recognized how much it mattered to have someone listen and understand. Those conversations became part of what brought Mind Body Endo into being.

Why Mind Body Endo

Mind Body Endo grew from my experience of yoga and years of studying the relationship between mind and body.

That understanding shapes how I support women: with attention to physical experience, thoughts, emotions, relationships, and the circumstances of daily life.

Gentle yoga offers a way to practice listening and responding through movement and rest. Coaching creates space to explore your experience, clarify what matters, and consider the choices available to you.

Together, they form the foundation of my work. My intention is to offer support that helps you hear yourself more clearly and discover ways of caring for yourself that feel meaningful and possible.

How the work took shape

My work with women living with endometriosis first took shape through personalized yoga sessions.

As I developed my coaching practice, I began weaving reflective conversations into those sessions. We made room for questions about the body, self-trust, relationships, and what each woman wanted for her life.

The combination felt meaningful: a short practice she could return to on her own, a conversation shaped around what mattered to her, and a manageable step to explore between sessions.

Today, Mind Body Endo brings gentle somatic yoga and coaching together as one offering. Both are central to how I work, with the practice and conversation shaped around the woman in front of me.

Like a lighthouse, I cannot remove the storm. But I can help you find your bearings.

Training and experience that inform my work

I began practicing yoga in 2002. My background includes yoga teacher training, somatic and therapeutic yoga studies, and coaching through Tara Mohr’s Playing Big Facilitators Training Program. My continuing learning also includes the Compassionate Inquiry Self-Study Course and independent study of Internal Family Systems.

My yoga teaching draws on SATYA, developed by Tias Little at Prajna Yoga. This gentle somatic practice remains an important part of how I care for myself and how I teach.

These studies, together with my experience of endometriosis, inform the attention and care I bring to each session. I offer guidance while respecting your knowledge of your own experience.

Yoga and coaching offer support alongside medical and mental-health care. They do not diagnose or treat endometriosis or replace care from qualified health professionals.

“Hoda is an attentive listener who holds peaceful space, allowing others to evolve and grow in her presence.”
