I did a one-on-one yoga instruction session with Amira to learn how to improve my alignment during yoga classes. I wish I had done this sooner! Amira provided excellent hands-on coaching and teaching of proper alignment for downward dog and chaturanga. She was tuned in to my past injuries and made practical and helpful recommendations for what I can work on in yoga classes. I highly recommend Amira!

Amira was perfect in every way. She was thoughtful in the intake process, asking important questions about experience and concerns before she met with my husband for a one on one yoga class. She took all the information into consideration and designed a perfect class for his needs. She was patient and professional. We would highly recommend her.

I am a regular yoga & pilates student of Amira's. She is an incredible teacher, very intuitive, and uses her knowledge of various disciplines to create routines designed for your individual needs. She's also well versed in nutrition, mindfulness/meditation, fitness, and alignment, she's your one stop shop to stay healthy! Her classes have really transformed me physically and mentally, I would highly recommend trying her out as your teacher and seeing if you connect.

Amira is a gem and an inspiration! She has been my Pilates & yoga instructor for the past 7 years beginning when I was 65. Initially I felt intimidated in a Pilates & yoga environment and was uncertain whether this was something I could do. However, Amira has always made me feel comfortable and supplied me with the understanding and motivation to get me past my fears. Through her sensitive, patient and caring hands-on approach she has gently helped me move to more advanced levels of Pilates and yoga and to understand the real gift of regular practice. Amira guides me through each session with clear instructions and demonstrations and is always there with encouragement (and prodding) along the way. Now, at 73, I appreciate how fortunate I have been to have teamed up with Amira. I not only found a wonderful Pilates, yoga and fitness instructor but also a friend and mentor. With her guidance and support I feel strong, energetic and more flexible than I've been in years and greatly enjoying where I'm at. Amira is a wonderful teacher. For me, every session with Amira proves to be a journey toward my physical and spiritual health as well as my overall well being. She has had a major impact on me and I am very grateful for her kindness and support. And, on top of being a tremendous Pilates and yoga instructor, Amira is a very nice lady.

Amira is a fantastic teacher whose class I've been attending many years. She is very in tune with everyone's individual needs/modifications, and her class is a well balanced, flowing sequence of poses. I feel this class and her high quality of instruction has greatly benefited me over the years.
