From a young age, Shahad often journaled and reflected on life. That inquiry led her on a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course of silence straight after graduating university and set her on the path of yoga. To Shahad, the continuous practice of yoga is a seed of self-liberation from all non-truth. With countless hours of yogic study and practice, Shahad’s Haṭha yoga teachings weave elements from various practices and lineages, primarily the Ghoṣ lineage and Aṣṭāṅga system. Her classes invoke deep awareness through a challenging, yet fluid journey of effort and ease through the body with precise cues, deep concentration, and an unwavering presence.

Shahad uses meditation, prāṇāyāma, kriyā and āsana as tools to hone mind-body connection.

In Shahad’s thoughtfully crafted classes, you’ll experience a well-rounded practice integrating foundational yoga postures and myofascial meridian line sequencing. This multidisciplinary approach helps release tension, nurture flexibility, and enhance mobility by targeting the body’s interconnected muscles and fascia. You’ll build body awareness, regulate your nervous system, and develop a solid foundation of strength, balance, and inner peace. Whether you’re new to yoga or deepening your practice, classes are progressive and will help you feel more fluid, grounded, and connected—on and off the mat.

Always learning, Shahad is grateful to have studied with deeply dedicated and world renowned teachers such as Dylan Werner, Jared McCann, Tony Lupinacci, Talia Sutra, Dr. Erin Rose Vaughan, Nidhi Pandya – including many years of month long intensives in Bali, Indonesia and Rishikesh, India.
