Sheerle Dove

Vinyasa Yoga teacher

Where do I call home: Between LA & Israel

Instagram handle: @sheerle.dove

My name is Sheerle Dove. I was born in Eilat, Israel but grew up travelling America! When I was 17, I moved back to Israel, joined the army, and continued to live here for another 5 years. A series of mental health issues encouraged me to devote my life to yoga and that sent me on the incredible journey of travelling India and learning from many masters. I did my 500 hour YTT with Guru Pundit Radheshyam Mishra in Goa, I taught a workshop in Jaipur and studied with two recognized Vinyasa masters, Yogini Hemlata and Yogi Umesh Sharma. One Vipassana later, another week studying at a Yoga University in Bangalore, and performing a yoga sequence for a Yoga Shala Opening in Mumbai, I ended my trip and headed out to teach what I learned. I dedicate my life to a Yogic lifestyle. Not only do I practice daily asana but I incorporate the philosophy, and other teachings beyond what the body can do. As a teacher I hope to instill in my students what a beautiful tool Yoga is for self-realization and devoting your life to something bigger than yourself. Namaste Yogis.

Through synthesizing my knowledge and gaining personal insight, I collected, adapted, and integrated an array of modalities, which combined, invited his clients and students to approach self-inquiry, meditation, and trauma-release in a safe and supportive setting. According to this paradigm, I also co-founded WOOM CENTER, New York’s first multi-sensory yoga and meditation studio, based primarily on the therapeutic and psychedelic properties of sound vibration.

 

 Today, I travel the world, guiding groups and individuals through transformative experiences.

Upon completing my military service in one of the IDF’s top elite units, I moved to NYC, where I quickly became immersed in an exploration of altered states of consciousness. 

 

My quest for a deeper understanding of the true nature of reality led me to both study and experiment with various practices that allowed me to have firsthand experiences of non-dual states.

Udi Sahar

Naturopath (N.D), Clinical Herbalist (CI.H), healthatarian chef, and Vinyasa yoga teacher

Where do I call home: Tel Aviv, Israel

Instagram handle: @udi_sahar

I am a certified Naturopath (N.D), Clinical Herbalist (CI.H), healthatarian chef, and Vinyasa yoga teacher. I was set on a path to become a healer at an early age. Growing up with severe food sensitivities that affected my overall health, I set forth on a journey to heal myself through nutrition. I was only eleven years old, while on a trip to Mexico when I discovered Shamanism and felt deeply inspired. Later I traveled through south and central America, India, and elsewhere, and studied extensively the healing modalities of ancient and modern cultures.

My approach to the natural way of healing was a merge of my experience in kitchens and bars and my knowledge of Herbalism, Aromatherapy, aspects of Shamanic, Ayurvedic, and Chinese medicines. This knowledge-based background makes Urban Shaman unique. All cleanses are designed strategically and with a clinical understanding to optimize well-being.
