Welcome!

I'm thrilled you're interested in Pilates and Mobility Stretch classes with me! All my classes are at the award-winning Yoga Center of Columbia, and every one of my 10 weekly classes is hybrid—meaning you can join in-studio or live-stream from home. Class sizes are limited so you get personalized attention.

New to Pilates or Mobility Stretch? Start with a class marked Beginner Friendly. I'll guide you through the basics at a comfortable pace, and you'll receive a free introductory video by email an hour or two before class. If you've taken a few classes and feel ready to build on the fundamentals, try Level 1—I still explain everything as we go. (Mobility Stretch 1 is also a gentle-paced option.) Ready for more challenge? Level 1-2 and Level 2 add resistance work and deeper progressions.

We have all the equipment and props you need at the studio. See my schedule and FAQ below. I always give modifications for students who need, and encourage you to listen to your own body.

WHAT STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY

  • "You're the first teacher I've had who explains things enough. I finally feel like I understand my body more and I am getting it right.”

    Lesley

  • "Pilates and Mobility Stretch classes with Samira/Karen have really helped my back issues. I suffered from sciatica pain and muscle relaxants and Motrin were no longer helping with the pain. After attending just a couple of classes, I saw a significant improvement and soon I no longer needed any medication much less any invasive procedures that I had been considering."

    Liz

  • "I can get up and down from the floor with my grandkids easily, again, and I get to enjoy hiking and kayaking with no pain. I'm hooked."

    Allen

  • “I've been taking your class for over 20 years now, and I can't imagine my life without it.”

    Patti

  • “Speaking of measurable results, I no longer need to go to the chiropractor every 6 weeks.”

    Russell

  • “My doctor asked me what I was doing because I measure 3/4 of an inch taller!”

    Alice

  • "Sticking with your classes have made my sciatica completely go away."

    Michael

  • "I hear your voice in my head when I'm at work now, 'Motion is lotion.' And it reminds me to sit up tall, move, take a walk."

    Rebecca

  • "In one session I can see that I'm much more toned and stable. Samira/Karen is also very knowledgeable with a great personality. She will push you to YOUR limit never more than what you can handle. She's a great teacher!"

    Samantha

  • "Always the best instruction. Samira/Karen's Pilates classes keep bringing me back. She's funny and warm and somehow makes us want to work hard!"

    Jill

  • "I never thought I'd get this from an exercise class, but I feel more confident. I feel stronger physically, but also emotionally. Your classes help me feel more grounded and I always feel better when I leave your class. It's the best part of my week."

    Kathleen

  • "Nagging hip pain, gone! AND my clothes fit better. Twice a week made more than twice the difference. Thank you!"

    Diane

  • "I was scheduled for prolapse surgery and got to cancel it because of your classes. I also can do long errands and even go on trips now without always worrying about where the nearest bathroom is. Life changing!"

    Anna

  • "I started because I had tweaked my back picking up my tiny infant. Now I can pick up my 50 lb. dog no problem."
