Maho Shimada

   Maho discovered Yoga and Advaita 15 years ago while she was in Australia following her passion of swimming with wild dolphins. Practising Yoga and studying Advaita she encountered the bliss of life that is unchanging, inseparable and beyond all concepts.
12 years of teaching Yoga (graduated Yoga Arts TTC RYT200), working as a Yoga translator for 13 years and sharing Contact Improvisation for 7 years, Maho is also a practitioner of "Aguahara" and "Water Dance" - art of movement in water.  
Maho gently and joyfully offers space for all seekers to explore releasing unnecessary and limiting patterns - she encourages opening up into beautiful unknown..! 
Much of her influence and inspiration comes from her current teacher, Clive Sheridan and her first Yoga teacher, Lucy Roberts.
