I first discovered yoga while travelling in Australia, where a teacher and a few classes sparked something that stayed with me. When I returned home in 2021, I found Love Yoga and began practising Mysore-style yoga, where I quickly realised yoga would become a deeply important part of my life and healing journey. Since then, I’ve completed my 200-hour training in Aberdeen and a 300-hour training in Rishikesh, studying a range of styles including Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Tantra, Restorative and Yin. My teaching is rooted in creating a calm, welcoming space where you can move gently, explore, and feel supported - wherever you are in your practice.

Hi Aberdeen! I’m Shimaa, and I’m so excited to finally call this city home. Originally from Egypt, I spent the last five years as a full-time traveller, exploring corners of the globe and learning from every culture I met. Now that I’ve settled here, I’m on a mission to bring some soul and movement to our community! As a belly dancer, I’m ready to bring the authentic shimmies of my homeland to the North East. But my passion for movement doesn't stop there—I’m also a certified Yoga and Aerial Yoga teacher. I believe in using 'Goga' (my fusion of grace and yoga!) to help us release daily stress, find our flow, and truly enjoy our bodies. Let’s move, breathe, and celebrate life together!
