About this trip

Relish in a weekend of meditation, daily yoga practices, and sacred disconnection nestled in the heritage heart of Sharjah at a 5-star luxury hotel.

We’ll begin our days with observation, guided meditation and vigorous yoga practices in a serene setting followed by delicious breakfasts.

All my classes weave together elements of meditation, pranayama, and kriya as tools to hone mind-body connection and the movement of the spine in all directions. Through the use of bandha, gaze and breath, you will create strength and flexibility in your body while exploring new depths on the mat.

Every evening will feel like a journey back into your cocoon, as we conclude our days with restorative practices that will initiate the settling of any agitated waters on the surface of your being. Embracing the beauty and impermanence of life comes from seeing so clearly what matters the most. The intention of this weekend is to provide tools and practices along your path and for you to discover the hidden gems of wisdom that already exists within you.

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, 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. All are welcome.

Where do I even begin? I booked the second Shahad announced her 4 days handstand workshops series. It was a no brainer for me and I made sure to attend all four workshops. Shahad’s teachings totally changed my handstand practice for the better. There were so many bad habits I have accumulated in the last year. Shahad managed to help me break those patterns. I now have some of the best handstand foundation. I learned how to properly position my hands so I don’t strain and injure my shoulders. By the end of the series, we learned so many great skills. I went in a total newbie and ended with a solid foundation to further my handstand journey. Shahad truly has a passion for teaching. She managed to catch on so many details that many other teachers missed out on. I was so sad when the handstand workshop series ended. I still practice everything I’ve learned at least three days a week. That said, I cannot wait for the next handstand series. Thank you so much Shahad. I feel so grateful for such passionate teachers like you 💕

I love participating in Shahad’s wonderful yoga classes and retreats! This experience was well organized and well attended, with a perfect balance of free time, mixed with Yoga and mindful classes. The crowd that Shahad’s events attract are kind and amazing people looking to better themselves. Shahad is an amazing instructor, and ensures all her students excel and get the most out of the practice. Very very recommended!!!

I try my best to make it to Shahad’s beach sound healing because they’re always such a treat. We are so lucky to have them in such a beautiful location. The only thing is that time flies way too fast 🤭. If you get the chance to attend one, do not hesitate. I promise you won’t regret it. I am still thinking about our last session and it was so magical. The sky was clear and there she was, the most beautiful and brightest moon. A few days later and I still get the chills reminiscing about it all. The sound healing is always a perfect reset. A time where I can prioritize self care and recenter myself before returning to our busy world. Nothing but pure gratitude 🫶🏾

This was my first ever yoga treat and I was invited by my lovely sister Shireen to join her and experience this wonderful weekend in Bait Chedi. Shahad is an incredible yoga instructor and also a humble and loving being. I was able to connect with her so easily and she helped me with some of the non-yoga stuff too. I learnt a lot of science based facts on right breathing techniques, about stress, and human nervous system and how yoga connects with rest of the body. Her sessions were energising, fun and for people of all levels of ability. I truly felt a much needed positive shift in my life, so thank you very much Shahad for sharing your knowledge and skill. Meet amazing people, had good conversations. Brian, remarkable person and thank you for sharing your advice and guidance on helping me transition into my teaching career. You both make a great team and inspiring teachers🙏
