Welcome to my classes - I'm thrilled you're here!

Taking this first step toward caring for yourself differently is something to be truly proud of. Regular classes help you stay on track with your movement/activity goals and help your time be more effective AND more enjoyable.

Have you noticed that getting TO class is often the hardest part of class? You're not alone. Keep your momentum going with my FREE Mindful Habit Transformation Guide plus bi-monthly updates on movement practices and wellness travel destinations:

If you’re brand new, the next step is to watch the Intro Video for your class. While each one is an entire one hour class, you can simply watch the first 15 minutes and you’ll feel much more prepared for class AND get much more out of class.

Please bookmark My Zoom Class Resource Page for lots of information, recommended props, and extras. This is where you’ll find props that we use in all my Pilates with Weights classes, plus handy exercise accessories.

What Level is right for me?
Our classes at the Yoga Center are in levels. Level 1 is introductory. If you are new, in my classes you’ll have your best experience and results if you start in Level 1, even if you are already quite fit. I only break down the basics of core understanding, breathing, stability, etc. in Level 1. This knowledge helps you exercise without injury, and with getting the best and most efficient results.

New to Live-stream classes?
The Yoga Center will send you your link via email if you registered for online class. Or you can access it when logged into your account.

You are responsible for doing your make up classes.
Before missing a class click “cancel” on that class, and then it will go back into your account. Refresh your page and go ahead and reserve the class you intend to use as your makeup. You have through the expiration date of your monthly subscription or class pass membership to use all your classes.

If you have any orthopedic issues or injuries, please let me know before class so I can help you with modifications. My email is samira@samirashuruk.com
I can’t wait to see your smiling face!
