"Me and mom always had the intention of doing something together that would fuse our expertice and experiences. We saw a huge demand for a fitness program with the base in the Middle Eastern styles and music so we began putting together a thought through, professional workout that WE would love to attend and teach. And so, in 2016, JALLABINA® was born.

 

I'm so proud of Jallabina and our strong community. The program not only gets people all over the world to improve their health in a safe setting, but it also empowers women and show a positive and different side of the Middle East."
