“Simchah is a great resource for guidance and inspiration when leading a team and in personal growth. Her organizational skills come through as she has an amazing ability to refocus a person whether it be an employee or me as the business owner.”
“The best way I can put it, Simchah has helped me realize what I had not taken the time to understand about myself. Her teaching style of combining faith-based life lessons with yoga has created a method that reaches the soul, body, and mind. She has shown me that clearing the mind and relaxing the body can be as simple as taking the time to breathe. Simchah has also made it ever so clear, that improving your relationship with the Lord through prayer and following his teachings can prepare you for life’s everyday challenges. You cannot keep yourself on track or be an effective leader at what you do without God as the driving force in your decision making.”
“Within only a few months of Yoga I’m beginning to understand that yoga is about the body, the mind, and the spirit. I’m being taught that when you let go, you create space for better things to enter your life. For me, I usually begin my sessions already in a state of mind of stress. Which means Simchah has to peel away the layers of protection I carry. By the end of a session, “yes I’m somewhat tired” but more than that I feel rejuvenated in a rare kind of way.”
Simchah is a beautiful soul who is easy to relate to, she has inspired me to make an investment in myself through purposeful planning and peace. I have been encouraged to take control of my health, both physical and mental. She often says that she sees herself in me, and I in return see who I want to be in her. Which is calm, cool, and confident in who I am. I would encourage anyone who has considered yoga therapy or personal coaching to take the step towards this opportunity and highly recommend Simchah. She has helped me set specific goals and has prepared me with the tools to tackle those goals!
I had the pleasure of studying yoga therapy with Simchah and I can tell you that, not only is she a deeply caring person, she’s also a genuinely curious person. Her thirst for knowledge and understanding means that her instruction is meaningful, instructive, and enlightening. Simchah is a vital component of a healthy McNairy County.
I have been taking yoga classes with Simchah at The Lift in Jackson. Over the last year, I’ve made significant gains in flexibility, strength and balance. And I’ve had fun while participating, too! Recently I had the opportunity to take a private lesson with Simchah. The individual attention really helped me refine some of my poses so that I could be mindful of breath and body working together. As a teacher, Simchah is both challenging and encouraging. It’s a delight to be one of her students!
Simchah’s classes make me feel stonger and more focused. I love her spirit and energy!
Motivating, uplifting, relaxing, close-knit just like family, Christian atmosphere. She is well educated in the moves of yoga as well as how to help with trouble spots or an injury.
Simchah is not just a teacher but a true friend that really cares about her students and is dedicated to helping them achieve their goals.
Simchah is a ‘caring and kind drill Sergeant’ and her classes are like a mini get away.
We remember the class you taught at Sunday School at our church. That is a grand example of what you can do. You were inspiring, informative, covered all the facets of yoga (not just the physical) and encouraged us/students to make it a coveted part of daily life.
Simchah has a strong commitment to yoga and is well informed in physiology adn the modifications necessary to individual students’ limitations. She diligently keeps up with workshops & classes to keep advancing and staying upt to date. She is interested in the personal lives of students and keeps herself informed of each individual and their special problems and progress. She has such a creative approach to classtime, using a variety of approaches and exercises. For example, she works Frank, her musical husband, to match the music played to the mood and movements of the practice. All this means that each day students never know what to expect from this strong well-rounded teacher. What we always get is surprise, fun and beneficial results.
About a year ago, I started learning yoga with Simchah’s yoga class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I had no idea then what a truly transforming experience yoga would be for me. I am 54 years old and when I first started doing yoga I was suffering from a frozen left shoulder that was so painful I could barely hold myself up in a push-up position. Also when I laid on my back on the floor, just my own body weight on that shoulder was excruciating. I also have suffered from chronic lower back pain since I was 13 years old and I landed wrong during a wrestling match in school. That also made it very uncomfortable to lie on my back. I almost quit going to yoga a few times due to the discomfort I was experiencing, but Simchah encouraged me to listen to my body and only do as much as it would allow me to do. That changed everything. Little by little my range of motion increased while the pain decreased. Now, I am completely pain free! I never believed that would be possible. Not only that, but I am more rested and peaceful in my mind and body than I have been in 30 years or more. I am a lot more flexible and energetic too. Needless to say, I am a believer!!! I really do enjoy her class. It is quite rejuvenating after a stressful day at work. Simchah has a knack for sensing where her students are at physically, mentally, and spiritually and then tailoring her classes to meet our needs. She is truly an amazing and gifted instructor!
Simchah Huizar’s yoga classes are designed for all fitness levels from the physically challenged to the very strong and active person. Her program combines strength and stretching exercises, breathing techniques, and relaxation to promote better health, flexible, and alleviate stress. Yoga helped me personally by loosening and limbering joints, toning and strengthening muscles, improving my balance and coordination. It is a gentle and effective workout that helped me get and stay physically fit. Classes are taught by a certified instructor, Simchah Huizar, who guides members through each stage of the yoga program. Students are encouraged to interact with each other. . . .giving help and/or compliments as needed. Whatever the level of physical fitness, each new member is accepted into the class. She/he will receive individual help to make progress and achieve his goals! Yoga was and is a truly life changing experience for me!
I want to hear from you! Send me your thoughts on the classes, my approach and more. I am constantly looking for ways to improve both the classes and your wellness. I look forward to hearing from you.
