You deserve to feel great!

Have you ever been in a class that you felt like your were thrown in the deep end and everyone else knew what was going on? Or conversely, stayed in a class for a long time, and never progressed?
Classes need to be offered in different levels!
Start in Level 1, and then on your own pace (it’s not a race!) progress as you learn the techniques, get stronger and more.
Classes at the Yoga Center of Columbia are in different levels and Samira teaches for progressive learning.

It’s challenging to workout regularly! But, we all know we feel better when we do! Samira/Karen created a home based workout that is super time-efficient and healthy. This is a do-able workout to help you build strong curves, raise your metabolism, support healthy lower back, hips and knees, improve your postural positions and more.
TAP into loving your curves
TAP into feeling strong and confident
TAP into helpful tips to keep you consistent!
Three membership options start with FREE!
