I took both Vinyasa and Yin yoga classes with Samar, Shanti Yoga, for almost a year. Samar is passionate about her yoga and I can say with complete confidence that she was my foundation rock in yoga practice that I am ever grateful for. I would highly recommend Samar to anyone who is seeking a high quality yoga practitioner.
The best yoga teacher I’ve known for 8 years, she is a source of genuine and sensory energy. Her classes are filled with activity and vitality, offering movements that benefit mental and emotional health. My dear, may you always move forward and succeed, God willing.

“Discovering yoga for the first time under Samar’s guidance has been a transformative experience. Her gentle encouragement, clear instructions, and genuine warmth create a supportive environment where I feel comfortable exploring and pushing my boundaries . With her guidance, I’ve not only improved my flexibility and strength but also found a deeper connection to myself and to the practice of yoga. Thank you, Samar, for being such an inspiring teacher”

Samar is charming and full of warmth. Her classes are most enjoyable and almost addictive.
I admire Samar’s sense of dedication and conscientiousness… after explaining each move in detail she goes around and checks that everyone is doing it properly.. consistently showing her utmost care for our wellbeing
What I most like about Samar’s classes is that there are always different moves and innovations within the discipline of Yin Yoga..and sometimes a special new addition like activating the solar plexis, all of which enriches the whole experience.
Throughout it all Samar teaches with love
I truly believe I found a hidden gem in Samar and plan on continuing to enjoy the extraordinary benefits of Yin Yoga
I couldn’t be happier with my experience with my yoga instructor, Shanti Samar. From the moment I stepped into her class, I was met with warmth and understanding, especially as a newcomer to yoga. Her friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease, and she was always there to offer guidance and support whenever I hesitated. What struck me the most was her inclusivity – as an Arab, I felt truly seen and understood. She took the time to explain poses in a way that resonated with me, and I appreciated her ability to effortlessly switch between languages, catering to participants who spoke English, French, and more. Living in Dubai’s diverse landscape, her understanding of different cultures was evident, making everyone feel welcome in her class. Beyond the studio, her online presence on Instagram was not only entertaining but also incredibly useful, as she actively engaged with her followers and shared valuable insights. But perhaps what I admire most about Shanti is her unwavering positivity and zest for life. Her infectious spirit uplifts the entire class, and I have no doubt that she would shine wherever she goes. And, it’s hard not to be inspired by her – she exudes both inner and outer beauty, motivating me to push myself further in my practice. My journey with Shanti has been nothing short of transformative, and I’m grateful to have her as my guide on this path of self-discovery.
To my special instructor Shanti yoga🤍
I’ve been attending your classes since January 2025, 3 to 4 times a week plus the workshops.
You have a great way of explaining (why?)for each yoga pose.
I always leave your classes feeling refreshed and energized.
You are such an inspiring teacher and I’m in love with yoga now because of you.
Thank you for being such an amazing teacher.
Thank you for teaching me that yoga is not just about flexibility but about inner peace 🙏🤍
You’ve taught me how to listen to my body and that was the best part 🌷
Thank you for these invaluable lessons

I met Samar in Jordan in December 2023 when we both were invited to take part of the Wellness Retreat, invest in your mind, body & soul. I immediately loved her radiant energy & big welcoming heart. I was blessed to attend a few of her classes which were very enjoyable & educational. I continued with her online yoga classes which really made a difference in my health 🙏🏼 truly recommend her classes 🩷

Felt recovered, relaxed, and clear-headed afterwards.
Having arrived to Beirut on a Saturday after a very long trip from the United States, my body was extremely stiff and tired. I went to Samar’s Yin yoga class on a Monday with a friend and felt recovered, relaxed, and clear-headed afterwards. I joined each class until I left Lebanon. It is a beautiful experience in a most beautiful space. Samar is an amazing caring instructor. I highly recommend her class.
I was blessed to meet Samar at SEVA in Dubai, where she was teaching several classes a week. I quickly fell in love with her amazing energy, her contagious smile and her creativity on the mat. She inspired me to go back to a consistent yoga routine with her friendly nature, and all her knowledge she was always openly sharing. I really loved and enjoyed my time with her as a student and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to try yoga for the first time or to deepen their practice. She is just an amazing human being full of light!

Samar’s Yin Yoga class is a highlight of my week. Time slows down, my mind clears, and the tension in my body eases. It’s an ideal class for anyone seeking a contemplative and restorative yoga experience. I’m a big fan of her inclusive and gentle approach, which ensures everyone, regardless of body type or ability, is catered to. Each session I find myself learning and deepening my yoga and meditation practice.
