Tiger Abdur-Rahman (they/he) is a COVID-realist, Black, queer, transmasculine design researcher, civic innovator, and student of yoga. They earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership and Learning which inspired them to deepen their study of yoga. They began teaching yoga in 2019, completed their 500 hours of yoga teacher training in 2020 and have been studying Vedanta philosophy in depth since 2021. Tiger has previously collaborated on organizing and teaching at three international yoga retreats, workshops, and serialized asana instruction, interweaving their knowledge of philosophy, astrology and ayurveda to support learners’ journeys.

Their karma yoga practice has recently brought them into full-time disaster recovery work in St. Louis, supporting the design of an ecosystem of supports for residents impacted by an EF-3 tornado in 2025.

Tiger’s offerings focus on personalizing the multiple pathways of yoga through media, movement, reflection, and dialogue to allow students to explore how yoga’s teachings go beyond asana to create a foundation for an authentic and fulfilling life. You can find Tiger on Instagram @liveyourown.life.
