Fitness training as an experience
HEIMAT by Waris Dirie redefines the fitness lifestyle. A wide range of training options such as pilates, yoga or barre make training an experience.

The classes and personal training sessions at the studio are led by the best trainers of the city.
Art in a building full of history
The studio is located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, in the former Musée Dapper, which was dedicated to African art. The heritage of this historic building continues with the integration of works by contemporary women artists from Africa. The artworks were curated by ARTNESS, a renowned network of international women artists, as well as Waris Dirie. The entire proceeds from the sale of these artworks will be donated to the “Waris Dirie Desert Flower Foundation”. The artworks of the following female artists are on display in the studio: Djeneba Aduayom, Safaa Erruas, Inès di Folco, Beya Gille Gacha, Georgina Maxim, Maya Mihindou, Chloé Quenum, Ghizlane Sahli, Maty Biayenda and Charlotte Yonga. Waris Dirie is also exhibiting some of her personal works which represent peace and paradise.
