The thought behind Yoga with Samir
In the last seven years of teaching Yoga in Vienna I have gathered a fair amount of knowledge about the ’’Yoga industry’’. Yes, Yoga has become an industry and just like any other industry it has its demands and supplies. Because of this, Yoga has been able to broaden its marketplace everywhere. I personally have held Yoga classes in all possible places, Yoga schools, offices, fitness centers, gymnasium, refugee centers, schools, parks and so on....
Well, it´s good right? As a Yoga practitioner and Yoga teacher it's a joy to see Yoga booming, to see Yoga become so popular and accepted and practiced by millions of people all around the world from all possible filed. That feels good...
But here is the downside. When the demand increases so does the supply and what takes a heavy toll is the quality and price. In a Yoga class you are basically given what the general people want and not what you personally need. Influenced by the rules set by businessmen who run Yoga schools. Lack of space and low qualified teachers results in meaningless Yoga classes, disco like classes, aerobic like classes, classes that leave all other aspects of Yoga and have only movements.
Yoga is expensive, the prices are ever increasing, most of the time they even make you pay to rent a mat and despite the large sum that you paid, there is still no guarantee for quality. Jam packed classes, where the person lying next to you practically breaths in your ear. The classes are mostly so full that you would be overjoyed if the teacher manages to notice you and what you are doing.
This is why I decided to make a small change. ’’Yoga with Samir’’ is the direct outcome of all the experience that I have gathered as a teacher and as a student.
Cozy room for few people, so that you get your much desired peace. Specific planned classes that includes all the aspects of Yoga, giving you a complete practice. Reasonable price so that you can afford to carry your practice more often in a week.
Yoga with Samir carries a motto of providing a holistic Yoga that will help you unite your mind, body and soul.
