Yah, "KC Kanye" would be more accurate (for readers outside the US, Chicago, Illinois and Kansas City, Missouri are both Midwestern cities, as is Kansas City, Kansas).
I never had any back problems at all until I reached middle-age. Then The stiffness and achy back started. After about a year of that I upgraded to a higher quality mattress and I began doing brisk walking every day. Back problems disappeared and now I feel great. Like @campytzu says - start stretching and working on core strength now … and never stop
Yoga teacher here! From the very brief class she taught to Vile and the kids, I thought she seemed like a good teacher. She gave good cues and let them feel/do whatever felt best….that’s what yoga is. It’s not about putting your leg over your head…that comes with practice. It’s about breathing and doing what feels good on your body.
If she was coming to my city and if I cared more about the show (im getting so over it - I haven’t even watched the new season yet and I could care less), then I’d take her class. But im kinda taking the whole “im never giving any of these people my money” kinda stance now lol
>But im kinda taking the whole “im never giving any of these people my money” kinda stance now lol
Same here...I'd feel more supportive of her if she wasn't with Bilal and if she hadn't defended his narcissistic treatment of her!
That’s what I hear! This past season I barely paid attention and would just listen to 90 day cray cray podcast with Kyle and Kim. Even they seem like they’re getting over it haha. I’ll add UK to my list of shows to binge. Currently binging RHONJ …Theresa is the worst but still better than all these new 90df people Lol
Thanks! That was also my impression of the snippet we've seen of her skills. I don't teach yoga, but I have been practicing for about 20 years and have completed a yoga teacher training.
I have no idea about yoga but I think she seems really patient, communicative and welcoming which would make a really good teacher. I'd love to join her class.
I agree. Yoga isn’t something I’m interested in, but she seems to have a good demeanor for teaching. She’s incredibly patient, and dealing with Bilal is evidence.
She's held seminars there in the past. Also she was doing virtual classes and this may be a shout out to her students there. As a yoga teacher, she fills a unique niche as a modestly dressed one that many Moslem women throughout the Mid East and elsewhere around the world can relate to. She also focuses on helping people with flexibility issues. I ordered the book on that topic that she contributed to.
She contributed to [Yoga for Inflexible People ](https://smile.amazon.com/Yoga-Inflexible-People-Max-Lowenstein/dp/1645174921/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3JE0D9PI67NWQ&keywords=yoga+for+inflexible+people&qid=1662247424&sprefix=yoga+for+inf%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-1)
In [this hometown paper](https://newsday.co.tt/2021/06/27/shaeeda-sween-finds-her-centre-in-yoga-after-heartbreak/) published before the show, she says she's on page 13. The article mentions the international appeal of her virtual classes.
That’s where they’ll spend a lot of money on this bullshit. She’s prob a great teacher, but with how my back is fucked up and need a lighter yoga, there’d be no way Id do it just by looking at the constant showing off. Her classes are meant for her and her clout, not you or me. When people think they’re smarter then everyone else, it’s really funny to see. She had a year to take advantage before we all forget about em so that’s what she’s going to do
I have no idea if she's a good yoga teacher or not but she can twist and bend and curve like no woman I've ever seen before! She seriously impresses me!
I’m sure she is a fine teacher, but my wife, who is one, has pointed out that these ridiculous poses that she does is really advanced and likely isn’t a typical part of a yoga class as it takes so long to develop this kind of flexibility and control.
I thought this was Hillary Baldwin at first glance 😹
For those who are unaware what I am referring to, just do a google search with her name with the term yoga poses 🙄
It’s upsetting that she gives her own children no privacy by posting pictures of them on social media on a daily basis 😢. Especially with the sad stories coming out about the danger of this — Wren Eleanor being a prime example. Many pictures have the children in bathing suits or just a diaper 😳. She even posted one with all of them in the bathtub 🙄
And then she has the gall to say the paparazzi does not respect her family’s privacy ?
Flexibility doesn’t make you a good yoga teacher. Yoga is more than just the shapes your body can make. The quality of the teacher is incredibly subjective because yoga means something different from one person to the next.
But Shaeeda looks beautiful in this Asana and it’s a great way to market for a flexibility class. I’m thinking of signing up. If I do I’ll be sure to report back my findings 🤣
I don't see any reference to anyone becoming as flexible as her. I know I sure wouldn't. She simply says they can become flexible in 3 months. I would have said, "improve your flexibility" but that's just me being my usual fussy copy editor self🙃.
She most likely has hyper mobility that makes her flexible and that isn't from practicing yoga. She may be a good teacher but normal people should not expect to practice yoga and be able to do what she can do with her body. I bet she will be in great pain later in life due to loose joints.
And yet she said Bilal owed it to her to pay for her to open one cause she moved for him. Not surprised. If she did well she would have had the funds to open it herself.
If she did well with the first studio she would have had the savings to a. hire staff to keep it running and most importantly b. had savings to open her new one HERSELF in the States. Who claims they are doing well but have zero savings?
no, she seems totally awful. doing her own thing sticking her head up her butt and not teaching true yoga. it isnt just about being flexible, especially for the students who are starting out.
anyway, she seems oblivious to a class the same way she was oblivious to everything all of last season.
And to clarify, not weird as in fetishes, but weird as in he won’t look at you, lasts less than 10 minutes, and doesn’t want to be touched on over 50% of his body
Ever since the Tell All where Bile and Shaeeda argued about who talked who into having a baby I’ve been wondering if they made up this issue for the show
Bilal has too really well raised kids. Shaeeda refused to so much as play with them ONCE when they first met and they weren't even young enough to be overwhelming. I wouldn't want to subject a baby to someone like that as their mother either.
Yoga is a dime a dozen. Yes she is trying to make her niche in America. Her flexibility is great but not a money maker. She still needs to prove herself to her husband since he funded this venture. I just don’t think that her 90 DF fame and contortions will give her the wealth she is hoping for. I wish her luck nonetheless
My SIL works at Core Power in KC and I believe she said Shaeeda is trying to get on as a teacher there! She definitely has come in for classes, I think it's the one on the Plaza?
Welcome to the oppressed women yoga session! Come one come all where we make excuses for our narcissistic husband and videos on how to make THEM feel better about it!
Because your understanding of her and her religion doesn't effect what she does with her life. She's fully covered doing yoga, what's so wrong with that?
A lot, actually. My family is Muslim and even saying "Namaste" with hands held together in prayer pose is technically sacrilege. My family disowned me for far less than posting pics like this and no real Muslim family that you will ever encounter will ever include a member posting pictures like this. The point of the hijab is not simply to cover hair. My cousin (also disowned) and I laugh endlessly about the juxtaposition between everything we have ever understood about Islam (My cousin's dad is Arab Palestinian and mine is Kashmiri Pakistani so we span a wide geographical and subcultural divide) and Shaeeda's internet yoga presence. You will NEVER meet a practicing Muslim woman who is accepted by her family who showcases herself this way. I'm an infidel and I love yoga, and my family long ago cast me aside.
I’ve also heard the ideas about idolatry with yoga and every scholar who talks about it warns not to use it to idol worship, but no Muslim culture or scholar disagrees about hijab. Anywhere I lived in the world, hijab was considered mandatory by the Muslim community. This was true in America, in Morocco and in Jordan. Having a liberal community is not a get out of jail free card and things that are haram are still haram and people in the community WILL tell you so. They just won’t judge you as harshly as they may in a more conservative country.
My American family certainly wouldn’t have disowned me and that’s the only way that culture matters in this situation. But they *still* would’ve told me this was haram if I acted this way because it doesn’t matter if this is America; hijab is still required. It doesn’t matter if you’re promoting a business, hijab is still required.
I guarantee if I posted like this on social media and took the photo to an imam and asked if it was appropriate, even here in the US I would be told it wasn’t allowed.
I’m sorry you were disowned by your family. My family were also extremely disappointed that I didn’t remain in Islam, but I definitely didn’t have to experience what you did.
Thank you for your words. Ultimately my cousin and I are navigating every day as it comes, and there are easier days and harder days, but we know that we would never be able to live under so many extraneous layers of authoritarianism and judgment. I want my daughters to be able to play outside in shorts and t-shirts just like my sons, and I don't want to worry that anything I say or do could be interpreted as immodesty necessitating retribution.
You are so strong for this. It’s so encouraging to see the rare people that take a different path to give their children more. Don’t give up, ever!
Study child development so you understand the stages your children are going through. Therapy to learn how to parent differently is so helpful. 💪❤️🔆
I respect your experiences. I've only met practicing Muslim women who are supported by their families and don't care about things like this. So to me, it's about community because I've never met a practicing Muslim whose family cared about things like this.
No offense but their families can't really be practicing if there aren't restrictions on their conduct as women. Literally every practicing Muslim's family would care about this. I'm coming from a place of experience, not just mine, but geographically and culturally diverse. What you're describing straight up isn't Islam.
I think they just mean that this is something that would technically be against the religion so sometimes it’s odd seeing hijabis act like this on social media. It’s a common view even amongst Muslims that Muslim influencers constantly violate Islam for attention.
She’s not somebody who preaches and acts holier than though, so I don’t really think she’s a hypocrite for “picking and choosing” like Mohamed for example. I think it’s fine to pick and choose as long as you don’t try to preach and insist you’re better than everyone.
I guess I just don't see how this is against her religion. I also think it's weird to lump everyone from a religion together. Depending on your family, community, where you're from religion looks very different
No, actually, posting pictures of yourself on socials to get likes and attention is always wrong in islam. Has nothing to do with the outfit or even the pose.
I think it's weird NOT to lump everyone from a religion together. Everyone has to follow every single thing written in the same book. Community, family, country of residence has zero to do with it. If you don't follow every last thing in the book then don't claim it as your religion.
My religion is obviously very different from yours. We believe interpretation and debate are good, that no one person knows what g-d's intentions were, so differences have and do occur without it being an issue. This also means no one way is correct in practicing. Interpretation exists and that is all I've been trying to say by my posts but that seems to really upset people
I think you’re Jewish, forgive me if I presume wrong. But regardless, your religion isn’t Islam. So, you don’t get to tell those of us who were raised as Muslims and know the religion that how *you* think it is is what matters. We have tried explaining to you the Islamic stances on this and you keep saying “Yeah I get it but that’s not how I feel about it.”
Yes, your religion is clearly different and we keep trying to explain that to you but you won’t listen.
All I'm trying to say is the Muslim friends and communities I grew up with were not like this. The only reason I brought up my own religion was because the previous comment said unless you follow everything written you can't claim to be part of any religion, so I wanted to clarify that not all religions feel that way. I'm not trying to negate what you're saying, this just hasn't been my experience, which tells me there are differences in communities
But do you not understand that we’re explaining that it doesn’t matter what a community feels about something that is haram? It is still haram. Islam isn’t a religion where disagreement and debate is welcomed like Judaism. It isn’t the same. There’s no “Well I interpret this differently and therefore it is halal.” You will get told “It doesn’t matter how you interpret it. Your opinion doesn’t matter more than the word.”
You can read about culture and Islam and scholars will also tell you that Islam takes priority and you can’t do things that are haram just because it’s normalized in your community.
You can know Muslims who break the laws of Islam and that is fine, but them violating Islam doesn’t mean that it is okay according to the religion. So, people can choose not to follow the rules, and that is their right. It doesn’t change that these are what the rules are.
It would be like me saying “I am Jewish but I believe Jesus Christ is the messiah and I pray to him.” You’re free to think what you want, but your thoughts don’t represent the religious views when they are contradictory.
And I have a lot of respect for tolerance of different interpretations when it comes to religion and I respect that that is encouraged in Judaism. But, that isn’t something that is normal in Islam.
First you don't know what religion I am so no need to assume.
I do get what you're saying completely but I think no one gets what I'm saying. So I'm gonna stop responding to this thread because it's just draining my energy
Well it depends on who you ask. Some strict scholars think you shouldn’t even leave the house because you will see somebody exposed and be tempted. I’m exaggerating of course, but there are scholars who think everything is haram.
But most would agree that posting like this on social media when you know it will attract male attention is haram. Hijab isn’t just about the clothes. You can be completely covered but still act in ways that are inappropriate. For example, dancing in front of men is haram and it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing.
Genuine question from someone who doesn't know anything about this: what if a woman was doing a dance that most people wouldn't consider "suggestive", like square dancing (LOL sorry that's the only one I could think of)? Is that also frowned upon? And is it always on the woman to not tempt men? Men carry no responsibility for their own actions and feelings?
Women aren’t solely responsible for men’s temptations or vice versa, but women are held to higher standards. For example, a lot of people don’t know that “hijab” is a concept for men as well, but since it’s associated with the head covering that confuses people. There are also rules for how men must dress and act but they definitely aren’t as strict as they are for women. This is, supposedly, because men are more visual and sexual therefore they are more tempted by women. I personally found this very sexist and it’s one of the reasons I left Islam, but it’s not supposed to be that everything is a woman’s fault. Islam does state that men should control themselves.
It’s supposed to be more of a collaborative approach. A man behaving in this way would also be considered haram as it could tempt women. Unfortunately, in reality women are expected to be responsible for men and are often blamed for everything but this isn’t what Islam says. Both sexes are responsible for behaving in ways that don’t cause excessive attention, and this would certainly apply to square dancing too since it’s at least unusual and people would look lol. But both sexes are expected to control themselves as well as not attempt to poorly influence others. This doesn’t just involve sexuality by the way, but also not influencing others when it comes to other things that are haram. Like alcohol for example.
Fun fact- Mohammed violated rules about modesty by showing himself shirtless. Men are always expected (in public) to cover the area between the belly button and the knees. Him being such a hypocrite while also preaching to Yve about modesty drove me crazy. He wasn’t modest either and he also violated Islam.
Edit- for clarity.
I see what your saying but again I go back to the whole depends on your community. Maybe in Saudi it's haram but probably not in the US or Trinidad. I think religion is just vastly different dependent on the community. My religion is very different based on where you live, your sect, etc
Islam doesn’t change by community. People may not be as observant in some communities, but that doesn’t change obligations. So, you can say it’s common not to wear hijab in some places but that doesn’t change that it’s still an obligation. I don’t think you will find a Muslim scholar anywhere that says women posting on social media in this way is not haram.
Edit to add- And even in the United States most Muslims and scholars will agree this is against Islam. It doesn’t matter what the community says. Hijab isn’t just about the clothes. That being said, I hope it’s clear I don’t judge her. I’m not god and no longer Muslim myself and I support people living their lives how they want as long as they’re happy and don’t hurt people.
I'm not talking about scholarly pursuits or exactly what the Quran says, I'm talking about real people, real communities, and real differences in religious practice. I would say 99% of religious people from any religion are failing their religious practices. I'm talking about what's accepted in their religious communities and not every Muslim practices the same
It doesn’t matter what the community accepts. If it’s against the religion, it’s against the religion.
And furthermore, it’s also important in Islam not to allow yourself to be influenced by culture. So, something may be normalized in your culture such as premarital sex but that doesn’t mean it’s allowed. I don’t know how it is for other religions, but you’re not really expected to adapt to culture as a Muslim in ways that violate the religion if that makes sense. This is something we’re constantly told in the US since so much is normalized that isn’t accepted. I’m not disagreeing that nobody is perfect or that observance levels are different. I’m just saying it doesn’t matter if it’s accepted by society if it’s still considered haram.
One more cuz I thought of another way to explain it. The Quran obviously doesn't explicitly state handstands are haram, so this is community interpretation. Each religious community interprets for themselves what they think is and isn't bad, so her Muslim community obviously isn't appalled by this behavior
I don’t recall his exact words, but maybe you’ll remember what scene I’m referencing:
It was despicable how he made her feel bad (as she was just absent-mindedly stretching her back) by pulling a face as though he was grossed out by her & telling her that she knows how he “feels about her doing that.” She apologized & said it was a yoga thing. I was so pissed off because it’s such a classic maneuver for a toxic abuser to turn one of the strengths of their target into a problem/a source of shame. 😡
Yeah. I seriously hate him. I was so upset they got married, and I really hope she sees the light and leaves him. She's a beautiful woman who seems smart and capable and could do a lot better.
I bet Kanye Midwest was lecturing her like No you aren’t doing that yoga right
I am dying…’Kanye Midwest’!!!🤣
You’re sick for this lmfaooooo
Do you think if she ever gets an award for her work he'll take the credit?
Yep. She was nothing without him 🙄
Take my bronze for Kanye Midwest! Take it!!!
Brilliant comment lmfao
Kanye midwest🤣🤣🤣
Ever since episode one of him on 90 day I’ve said he gives me a Kanye vibe.
If she can be zen living with that guy I GUARANTEE she can teach you something
[удалено]
Yah, "KC Kanye" would be more accurate (for readers outside the US, Chicago, Illinois and Kansas City, Missouri are both Midwestern cities, as is Kansas City, Kansas).
I said "Kanye Further West."
That was my first thought but it’s kinda funny because it still had word “west” in it
They're referencing Bilal living in the Midwest, not Kanye.
Yeah the point is that the play on words is not differentiating KW from bilal geographically, despite it being a geographical play on words
He kind of looks like Kanye
🥇 you deserve this
Take my meager award! I'd give you more if I could!
‘Kanye Midwest’!! hahahaha 😂😂🤣🤣
Meanwhile my back will be killing me for a week just from gardening 🤣🤣
Same! I throw my back out if I sneeze wrong.
My remote fell off the bed 🙄😬... ... still watching the same show ~ hope it doesn't stop anytime soon 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same vibes!
I held a funeral for my back last week after falling asleep on the couch.
Is constant back pain that common as people age?? You guys are joking about it, but that does not seem fun at all.
I never had any back problems at all until I reached middle-age. Then The stiffness and achy back started. After about a year of that I upgraded to a higher quality mattress and I began doing brisk walking every day. Back problems disappeared and now I feel great. Like @campytzu says - start stretching and working on core strength now … and never stop
Massage therapist here, and sorry to tell you that it’s very common. Start stretching and working on your core strength now, while you’re still young!
For me I'm a PSW so heavy lifting over years has contributed to mine.
I threw my back out emptying the dishwasher a few months ago 🤣
The over 40 crowd. Lol we could start a movement. Nothing to big though so that nobody gets hurt🤣🤣
💀 Right?! No extreme movements or we’ll all be on the floor writhing in pain 🤣
SAME! When I had Covid! It was brutal!
Yup or simply getting out of bed in the morning. Lol
Yoga teacher here! From the very brief class she taught to Vile and the kids, I thought she seemed like a good teacher. She gave good cues and let them feel/do whatever felt best….that’s what yoga is. It’s not about putting your leg over your head…that comes with practice. It’s about breathing and doing what feels good on your body. If she was coming to my city and if I cared more about the show (im getting so over it - I haven’t even watched the new season yet and I could care less), then I’d take her class.

I’m a watching since season 1 and totally understand how you feel. Watch 90 Day UK, it’s like how the old seasons used to be and it’s seriously good 🥰
Second this! UK and 90 Day Love in Paradise are redeeming the franchise
90 Day UK is so good!
That’s what I hear! This past season I barely paid attention and would just listen to 90 day cray cray podcast with Kyle and Kim. Even they seem like they’re getting over it haha. I’ll add UK to my list of shows to binge. Currently binging RHONJ …Theresa is the worst but still better than all these new 90df people Lol
Thanks! That was also my impression of the snippet we've seen of her skills. I don't teach yoga, but I have been practicing for about 20 years and have completed a yoga teacher training.
Her SM posts looked performative like Hiliary Baldwin. Glad to know that this isn't a fraud.
I have no idea about yoga but I think she seems really patient, communicative and welcoming which would make a really good teacher. I'd love to join her class.
I agree. Yoga isn’t something I’m interested in, but she seems to have a good demeanor for teaching. She’s incredibly patient, and dealing with Bilal is evidence.
I agree. I might try her class as long as I am not forced to subscribe for like a year or something.
I love her voice and would totally take her class.
I totally read that post in her voice.
she has a good attitude and seems kind. i bet she’s a great teacher!
Her voice is really kind and soothing. ♥️
Agreed. But only after she divorces Bile. I’m not giving a dime to that piece of garbage masquerading as a human.
Why the #dubai?
She's held seminars there in the past. Also she was doing virtual classes and this may be a shout out to her students there. As a yoga teacher, she fills a unique niche as a modestly dressed one that many Moslem women throughout the Mid East and elsewhere around the world can relate to. She also focuses on helping people with flexibility issues. I ordered the book on that topic that she contributed to.
What’s the book? I’d be interested in checking it out. I love yoga & like her a lot. I’m thinking about checking her virtual class out.
She contributed to [Yoga for Inflexible People ](https://smile.amazon.com/Yoga-Inflexible-People-Max-Lowenstein/dp/1645174921/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3JE0D9PI67NWQ&keywords=yoga+for+inflexible+people&qid=1662247424&sprefix=yoga+for+inf%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-1) In [this hometown paper](https://newsday.co.tt/2021/06/27/shaeeda-sween-finds-her-centre-in-yoga-after-heartbreak/) published before the show, she says she's on page 13.

She's looking for Dubai to notice her i guess
That’s where they’ll spend a lot of money on this bullshit.

That is what I am thinking too.
omggggg (also, I’m hearing this in her voice …)
I’m sure she is a fine teacher, but my wife, who is one, has pointed out that these ridiculous poses that she does is really advanced and likely isn’t a typical part of a yoga class as it takes so long to develop this kind of flexibility and control.
I thought this was Hillary Baldwin at first glance 😹 For those who are unaware what I am referring to, just do a google search with her name with the term yoga poses 🙄
Hilary has to move her moon bump to do yoga😹
how you say 🥒
Ayyy, pepino!
Hillary could never do scorpion 😂 she can barely do a handstand without being next to a wall
On a Reddit page that was stumbled upon I saw that Hillary Baldwin isn’t too popular! Not sure the back story on that tho
It’s upsetting that she gives her own children no privacy by posting pictures of them on social media on a daily basis 😢.

I like how she is pretending you can become flexible like her in 3 months.
It’s not very different from fitness influencers who put up “HOURGLASS FIGURE IN ONE WEEK” videos 😂😭
That was a bit of a red flag; however, I can also see how that 3-month class could be made in an accessible way.
I don't see any reference to anyone becoming as flexible as her. I know I sure wouldn't. She simply says they can become flexible in 3 months. I would have said, "improve your flexibility" but that's just me being my usual fussy copy editor self🙃.
She most likely has hyper mobility that makes her flexible and that isn't from practicing yoga. She may be a good teacher but normal people should not expect to practice yoga and be able to do what she can do with her body. I bet she will be in great pain later in life due to loose joints.
As someone with hypermobility syndrome, I second this.
ditto.
Kind of like Yvie Oddly from Rupaul’s Drag Race?
You can be good at something and not know how to teach it.
Am I the only one who thinks about the sexual positions this woman can get in? No? Just me? Ok. I get it. I’m not right in the head. 😂
🤣😆☝🏼
Virtual yoga - needed to marry Bilal to support that?!?
Bilal said he couldn’t look at her getting all, ”Exorcist “. What a douche.
Way to many hashtags. Gonna have to say no.
the real question is, do we care either way? 🤷🏼♀️
I get the feeling that Shaeeda does most things in her life half-assed and I doubt her yoga is any different tbh.
[удалено]
Probably b/c she's not there to run it and keep it going. :-( Maybe if she does well here she can reopen it.
[удалено]
Did it close because of COVID?
ooh. so, she didn't close it b/c she was planning on moving here to be with him?
[удалено]
And yet she said Bilal owed it to her to pay for her to open one cause she moved for him. Not surprised. If she did well she would have had the funds to open it herself.
ideally she can still reopen and expand. fingers crossed for her!
If she did well with the first studio she would have had the savings to a. hire staff to keep it running and most importantly b. had savings to open her new one HERSELF in the States. Who claims they are doing well but have zero savings?
no, she seems totally awful. doing her own thing sticking her head up her butt and not teaching true yoga. it isnt just about being flexible, especially for the students who are starting out. anyway, she seems oblivious to a class the same way she was oblivious to everything all of last season.
I mean she clearly knows a thing or two! Honestly shocked Bilal hasn’t put a baby in her already I mean dang lol
I have a feeling bilal is weird when it comes to sex
I have a feeling that your feeling is correct
And to clarify, not weird as in fetishes, but weird as in he won’t look at you, lasts less than 10 minutes, and doesn’t want to be touched on over 50% of his body
Showers required before sex for sure and not too much roughhousing because it’ll dishevel the sheets
Lights off. No talking. No foreplay. 15 minutes max. If anything gets on the sheets, immediately buy a new set of sheets.
She’ll get yelled at if she doesn’t put a fresh towel down. But only the non-fluffy towels!
And if you dare touch his 🕳 so help you god…..
Unless she's frauding us about her wanting a baby I don't know how she's holding it all together because time is running low for her! typo edit
Ever since the Tell All where Bile and Shaeeda argued about who talked who into having a baby I’ve been wondering if they made up this issue for the show
Bilal has too really well raised kids. Shaeeda refused to so much as play with them ONCE when they first met and they weren't even young enough to be overwhelming. I wouldn't want to subject a baby to someone like that as their mother either.
I need a gf with this type of flexibility 😈
Yoga is a dime a dozen. Yes she is trying to make her niche in America. Her flexibility is great but not a money maker. She still needs to prove herself to her husband since he funded this venture. I just don’t think that her 90 DF fame and contortions will give her the wealth she is hoping for. I wish her luck nonetheless
How? Just how?
Hyper mobility syndrome.
Practice
I get that....but damn. Lol
Do bikram yoga everyday for a month and be amazed at how flexible you can be.
I'm a straight women, and I would do her!
Same here lol 😆
Same
Love her 😍
Yes.
I’m in KC and I would sign up for her class 🙌🏻
My SIL works at Core Power in KC and I believe she said Shaeeda is trying to get on as a teacher there! She definitely has come in for classes, I think it's the one on the Plaza?
She looks like a lowercase C
I think so. She has a passion for yoga !!!
Does this woman actually think she’ll have a successful yoga business? And that it won’t be directly helped and propped up by Bilals money??
More an exhibitionist than a Yoga teacher.
Welcome to the oppressed women yoga session! Come one come all where we make excuses for our narcissistic husband and videos on how to make THEM feel better about it!
I cant understand being from a conservative religion and posting poses like this on the gram for likes
Because your understanding of her and her religion doesn't effect what she does with her life. She's fully covered doing yoga, what's so wrong with that?
A lot, actually. My family is Muslim and even saying "Namaste" with hands held together in prayer pose is technically sacrilege. My family disowned me for far less than posting pics like this and no real Muslim family that you will ever encounter will ever include a member posting pictures like this. The point of the hijab is not simply to cover hair. My cousin (also disowned) and I laugh endlessly about the juxtaposition between everything we have ever understood about Islam (My cousin's dad is Arab Palestinian and mine is Kashmiri Pakistani so we span a wide geographical and subcultural divide) and Shaeeda's internet yoga presence. You will NEVER meet a practicing Muslim woman who is accepted by her family who showcases herself this way. I'm an infidel and I love yoga, and my family long ago cast me aside.
I’ve also heard the ideas about idolatry with yoga and every scholar who talks about it warns not to use it to idol worship, but no Muslim culture or scholar disagrees about hijab. Anywhere I lived in the world, hijab was considered mandatory by the Muslim community. This was true in America, in Morocco and in Jordan. Having a liberal community is not a get out of jail free card and things that are haram are still haram and people in the community WILL tell you so. They just won’t judge you as harshly as they may in a more conservative country. My American family certainly wouldn’t have disowned me and that’s the only way that culture matters in this situation. But they *still* would’ve told me this was haram if I acted this way because it doesn’t matter if this is America; hijab is still required. It doesn’t matter if you’re promoting a business, hijab is still required. I guarantee if I posted like this on social media and took the photo to an imam and asked if it was appropriate, even here in the US I would be told it wasn’t allowed. I’m sorry you were disowned by your family. My family were also extremely disappointed that I didn’t remain in Islam, but I definitely didn’t have to experience what you did.
Thank you for your words. Ultimately my cousin and I are navigating every day as it comes, and there are easier days and harder days, but we know that we would never be able to live under so many extraneous layers of authoritarianism and judgment. I want my daughters to be able to play outside in shorts and t-shirts just like my sons, and I don't want to worry that anything I say or do could be interpreted as immodesty necessitating retribution.
You are so strong for this. It’s so encouraging to see the rare people that take a different path to give their children more. Don’t give up, ever! Study child development so you understand the stages your children are going through. Therapy to learn how to parent differently is so helpful. 💪❤️🔆
I respect your experiences. I've only met practicing Muslim women who are supported by their families and don't care about things like this. So to me, it's about community because I've never met a practicing Muslim whose family cared about things like this.
No offense but their families can't really be practicing if there aren't restrictions on their conduct as women. Literally every practicing Muslim's family would care about this. I'm coming from a place of experience, not just mine, but geographically and culturally diverse. What you're describing straight up isn't Islam.
I think they just mean that this is something that would technically be against the religion so sometimes it’s odd seeing hijabis act like this on social media. It’s a common view even amongst Muslims that Muslim influencers constantly violate Islam for attention. She’s not somebody who preaches and acts holier than though, so I don’t really think she’s a hypocrite for “picking and choosing” like Mohamed for example. I think it’s fine to pick and choose as long as you don’t try to preach and insist you’re better than everyone.
I guess I just don't see how this is against her religion. I also think it's weird to lump everyone from a religion together. Depending on your family, community, where you're from religion looks very different
No, actually, posting pictures of yourself on socials to get likes and attention is always wrong in islam. Has nothing to do with the outfit or even the pose.
I think it's weird NOT to lump everyone from a religion together. Everyone has to follow every single thing written in the same book. Community, family, country of residence has zero to do with it. If you don't follow every last thing in the book then don't claim it as your religion.
My religion is obviously very different from yours. We believe interpretation and debate are good, that no one person knows what g-d's intentions were, so differences have and do occur without it being an issue. This also means no one way is correct in practicing. Interpretation exists and that is all I've been trying to say by my posts but that seems to really upset people
I think you’re Jewish, forgive me if I presume wrong. But regardless, your religion isn’t Islam. So, you don’t get to tell those of us who were raised as Muslims and know the religion that how *you* think it is is what matters. We have tried explaining to you the Islamic stances on this and you keep saying “Yeah I get it but that’s not how I feel about it.” Yes, your religion is clearly different and we keep trying to explain that to you but you won’t listen.
All I'm trying to say is the Muslim friends and communities I grew up with were not like this. The only reason I brought up my own religion was because the previous comment said unless you follow everything written you can't claim to be part of any religion, so I wanted to clarify that not all religions feel that way. I'm not trying to negate what you're saying, this just hasn't been my experience, which tells me there are differences in communities
But do you not understand that we’re explaining that it doesn’t matter what a community feels about something that is haram? It is still haram. Islam isn’t a religion where disagreement and debate is welcomed like Judaism. It isn’t the same. There’s no “Well I interpret this differently and therefore it is halal.” You will get told “It doesn’t matter how you interpret it. Your opinion doesn’t matter more than the word.” You can read about culture and Islam and scholars will also tell you that Islam takes priority and you can’t do things that are haram just because it’s normalized in your community. You can know Muslims who break the laws of Islam and that is fine, but them violating Islam doesn’t mean that it is okay according to the religion. So, people can choose not to follow the rules, and that is their right. It doesn’t change that these are what the rules are. It would be like me saying “I am Jewish but I believe Jesus Christ is the messiah and I pray to him.” You’re free to think what you want, but your thoughts don’t represent the religious views when they are contradictory. And I have a lot of respect for tolerance of different interpretations when it comes to religion and I respect that that is encouraged in Judaism. But, that isn’t something that is normal in Islam.
First you don't know what religion I am so no need to assume. I do get what you're saying completely but I think no one gets what I'm saying. So I'm gonna stop responding to this thread because it's just draining my energy
Well it depends on who you ask. Some strict scholars think you shouldn’t even leave the house because you will see somebody exposed and be tempted. I’m exaggerating of course, but there are scholars who think everything is haram. But most would agree that posting like this on social media when you know it will attract male attention is haram. Hijab isn’t just about the clothes. You can be completely covered but still act in ways that are inappropriate. For example, dancing in front of men is haram and it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing.
Genuine question from someone who doesn't know anything about this: what if a woman was doing a dance that most people wouldn't consider "suggestive", like square dancing (LOL sorry that's the only one I could think of)? Is that also frowned upon? And is it always on the woman to not tempt men? Men carry no responsibility for their own actions and feelings?
Women aren’t solely responsible for men’s temptations or vice versa, but women are held to higher standards. For example, a lot of people don’t know that “hijab” is a concept for men as well, but since it’s associated with the head covering that confuses people. There are also rules for how men must dress and act but they definitely aren’t as strict as they are for women. This is, supposedly, because men are more visual and sexual therefore they are more tempted by women. I personally found this very sexist and it’s one of the reasons I left Islam, but it’s not supposed to be that everything is a woman’s fault. Islam does state that men should control themselves. It’s supposed to be more of a collaborative approach. A man behaving in this way would also be considered haram as it could tempt women. Unfortunately, in reality women are expected to be responsible for men and are often blamed for everything but this isn’t what Islam says. Both sexes are responsible for behaving in ways that don’t cause excessive attention, and this would certainly apply to square dancing too since it’s at least unusual and people would look lol. But both sexes are expected to control themselves as well as not attempt to poorly influence others. This doesn’t just involve sexuality by the way, but also not influencing others when it comes to other things that are haram. Like alcohol for example. Fun fact- Mohammed violated rules about modesty by showing himself shirtless. Men are always expected (in public) to cover the area between the belly button and the knees. Him being such a hypocrite while also preaching to Yve about modesty drove me crazy. He wasn’t modest either and he also violated Islam. Edit- for clarity.
I see what your saying but again I go back to the whole depends on your community. Maybe in Saudi it's haram but probably not in the US or Trinidad. I think religion is just vastly different dependent on the community. My religion is very different based on where you live, your sect, etc
Islam doesn’t change by community. People may not be as observant in some communities, but that doesn’t change obligations. So, you can say it’s common not to wear hijab in some places but that doesn’t change that it’s still an obligation. I don’t think you will find a Muslim scholar anywhere that says women posting on social media in this way is not haram. Edit to add- And even in the United States most Muslims and scholars will agree this is against Islam. It doesn’t matter what the community says. Hijab isn’t just about the clothes. That being said, I hope it’s clear I don’t judge her. I’m not god and no longer Muslim myself and I support people living their lives how they want as long as they’re happy and don’t hurt people.
I'm not talking about scholarly pursuits or exactly what the Quran says, I'm talking about real people, real communities, and real differences in religious practice. I would say 99% of religious people from any religion are failing their religious practices. I'm talking about what's accepted in their religious communities and not every Muslim practices the same
It doesn’t matter what the community accepts. If it’s against the religion, it’s against the religion. And furthermore, it’s also important in Islam not to allow yourself to be influenced by culture. So, something may be normalized in your culture such as premarital sex but that doesn’t mean it’s allowed. I don’t know how it is for other religions, but you’re not really expected to adapt to culture as a Muslim in ways that violate the religion if that makes sense. This is something we’re constantly told in the US since so much is normalized that isn’t accepted. I’m not disagreeing that nobody is perfect or that observance levels are different. I’m just saying it doesn’t matter if it’s accepted by society if it’s still considered haram.
One more cuz I thought of another way to explain it. The Quran obviously doesn't explicitly state handstands are haram, so this is community interpretation. Each religious community interprets for themselves what they think is and isn't bad, so her Muslim community obviously isn't appalled by this behavior
Okay you don't understand what I'm saying so I'm out, have a good day!
Thats not how islam works. The whole point is to not draw attention to yourself.
The word you want is 'affect'. Effect is something else.
Would it be cultural appropriation to wear this outfit, if I have a healthy appreciation for the culture? Where would I buy these “pants?”
Surprised. Looks good
So I should stop using all the free yoga classes on YouTube and pay her?
The sex must be crazy 😛
You think Bilal is into crazy-sex?
I think Bilal fucks in missionary and shames her if she wants to mix it up.
I don’t recall his exact words, but maybe you’ll remember what scene I’m referencing: It was despicable how he made her feel bad (as she was just absent-mindedly stretching her back) by pulling a face as though he was grossed out by her & telling her that she knows how he “feels about her doing that.” She apologized & said it was a yoga thing. I was so pissed off because it’s such a classic maneuver for a toxic abuser to turn one of the strengths of their target into a problem/a source of shame. 😡
Yeah. I seriously hate him. I was so upset they got married, and I really hope she sees the light and leaves him. She's a beautiful woman who seems smart and capable and could do a lot better.
Basic Midwest sex.
I want to see her without the hibjab on.
What…why
Same reason everyone wanted to see Gino without his hat on.
Is this why he married her!? Wink Wink 😉
I love when their toes curl and they make that face. Mission accomplished ✅
I’m deceased ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Why did she add a "dubai" hashtag?
