Meet Houri: The Woman Behind Babe Yoga Studio in Newport Beach
Welcome to Babe Yoga, a women-led yoga studio in Newport Beach that's all about helping you move with intention, strength, and unapologetic self-love. At the heart of our studio is Houri, a powerhouse with a unique journey—from Big Four CPA to fashion student to full-time yogi and now, founder of one of the most exciting hot yoga studios in Orange County.
From Accounting to Alignment
Before she was guiding hot yoga flows and curating sculpt playlists, Houri was deep in the world of accounting. She launched her career as a CPA and auditor for one of the Big Four firms—a high-powered environment built on precision and structure. But even in that fast-paced world, she felt the quiet pull of something more aligned with her soul.
Fashion was her first creative outlet. She pursued it through fashion school, where she immersed herself in color, confidence, and self-expression. And then yoga entered her life—a daily practice that grounded her, challenged her, and reshaped her relationship with her body and mind.
With over 20 years of practice under her belt, Houri knew yoga wasn’t just a hobby. It had become her way of life.
The Vision for Babe Yoga
When Houri decided to open Babe Yoga, she envisioned more than just a studio. She wanted to build a space where women could:
Feel strong, sexy, and supported
Explore different class formats like hot yoga, yoga sculpt, yogalates, and flow
Be part of a judgment-free community centered on self-love and empowerment
Babe Yoga is where fashion meets flow, where playlists hit just right, and where every class is a celebration of strength and feminine energy. It’s also become one of the top-rated yoga studios in Newport Beach for beginners, seasoned yogis, and anyone looking to tap into their inner babe.
Why Newport Beach?
Rooted in Southern California's wellness scene, Newport Beach was the perfect home for Babe Yoga. With its sunshine, ocean breeze, and vibrant energy, this beachside city mirrors everything Houri wanted in a studio community: warmth, movement, and connection.
