Meeting someone who truly embodies presence and purpose is rare. Meet Sham, a certified yoga teacher and wellness coach whose calm energy and authentic approach have inspired a growing wellness community in the UAE.
But Sham didn’t always live with clarity and intention. Her story is one of rediscovery, healing, and choosing the path of inner peace in a world that never slows down.
The Struggles Behind the Smile
Before ‘Wellness with Sham,’ Sham experienced heartbreak, burnout, and setbacks despite constantly striving. These struggles shaped her.
During university, Sham was inspired by her mother, a yoga teacher, whose growth and calm presence resonated deeply, even through Sham’s own struggles.
Despite a wellness-focused upbringing, Sham’s yoga journey began when she realized inner peace wasn’t external. Overwhelmed by modern life, she felt called to introspection
She trained as a certified yoga teacher in Bali, finding balance and reconnecting with her authentic self amidst nature and simplicity.
Taking a Leap of Faith
Sham’s training in Bali wasn’t just about learning postures or breathwork, it was about transformation. She returned not only as a certified yoga teacher, but with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose.
Yoga showed her that the path to healing isn’t linear. It’s about surrendering, being present, and holding space for both joy and discomfort. It taught her how to rebuild her inner world and to help others do the same.
As she began to teach, Sham realized she had a gift, not just in guiding movement, but in helping people feel seen, safe, and supported. Her sessions quickly evolved into spaces where people could breathe, feel, and begin their own healing.
Growing a Community in Dubai and Riyadh
Today, Sham leads a growing wellness community across Dubai and Riyadh, supporting everyone from working professionals and students to parents and wellness seekers looking to reconnect with themselves.
What makes her approach unique is its intimacy. She doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all wellness. Instead, she takes time to understand her students’ needs, creating customized sessions that meet them exactly where they are.
While many wellness professionals focus on large-scale retreats, Sham’s heart lies in deeper, more personal spaces corporate wellness, one-on-one sessions, and small group experiences. Through these channels, she helps people integrate mindfulness into their daily routines, not just their weekends.
Achievements and Milestones
Sham has led powerful sessions for corporate teams and wellness enthusiasts across the UAE, sharing practices that ease stress, encourage presence, and foster emotional clarity.
Her collaborations with wellness brands reflect her down-to-earth style and commitment to authenticity. Whether teaching in person or connecting through her digital platforms, Sham brings a personal, human touch to everything she does.
Her Instagram page has become a space for daily reflection and inspiration, filled with wellness tips, breathwork guidance, and behind-the-scenes moments from her own journey.
She’s also been invited to lead wellness talks and corporate workshops—helping busy individuals create mindful pauses in their workday and reconnect with their inner calm.
Living Her Vision
This summer, Sham is leading special wellness workshops in Dubai, focusing on mindful movement, conscious breath, and intention setting. These sessions are designed to support busy lives with practical tools for releasing tension, finding clarity, and building resilience.
She’s currently working on new collaborations with wellness brands and developing online programs to make her sessions accessible to those outside the city. Her goal is simple: to help more people live intentionally and reconnect with themselves, no matter where they are.
True to her values, Sham continues to invest in her own growth. She believes that great teachers are always learning, and it’s this humility that makes her teachings so powerful and relatable.
