Here are a few of my most popular articles


“Salema masterfully combines intelligent, therapeutic vinyasa with deep, accessible spirituality.”

— Marc Holzman, YogaGlo teacher & founder of Guerrilla Yogi

We are honoured to have Salema as a Daily Greatness Ambassador as she clearly embodies and teaches our message and mantra of "Be Your Own Guru."

Why I love the Dailygreatness Yoga Journal: "As an evolving teacher and practitioner who has been working with Life Coaching and the Law of Attraction for many years, I feel empowered to share how the benefits of applying these concepts can change and shift your perspective in life, love & yoga. The Dailygreatness Journals are a great way to introduce to people, how to apply these principles. Hence, l feel honoured to be asked to become an ambassador for Daily Greatness Yoga Journal.”

Daily Greatness

“Salema’s work at the intersection of Mental Health, Wellness and AI is outstanding. Her knowledge of the subject domains is insightful both near term, and on the longer more visionary time scale. She is passionate about the field as evidenced by her involvement with many other companies and institutions.”

— John Kost Founder @ LVS.ai
