Who makes Shore?

I'm Zoya, a sociologist and dancer. The rituals of ancient communities, movement and breath have always drawn me. In a hard moment of my own, I couldn't find what I needed for free. So I made Shore: so anyone, at any moment, can come back to their own shore without paying anything.

I build Shore full-time. Your support gives me the time to keep making it. Shore’s exercises are grounded in scientific research; you’ll find the sources for each one under the ? icon. Buy Me a Coffee is a widely used, secure site for small support payments; you can support by card in a few steps.
