"After starting classes with Sumara, my lower back pain due to a desk job has decreased significantly. I love how she breaks the different sequences down in the tiniest details. Her passion for Essentrics can be heard in her voice. She is dedicated towards her students: she will bring your attention to the right posture and will give alternatives to the more advanced movements. Highly recommend Sumara's classes." - Lovina, age 36
"Moderation & balance are the undisputed, universal champions of a healthy and happy mind/body continuity. I’ve been postponing elective hip replacement surgery thanks in large part to Sumara’s passion and commitment to the simple yet detailed art of Essentrics. It’s both gentle and dynamic; it promotes strength, stamina and well being! Her attention to detail and unwavering support are a testament to the art’s magical ability to sustain and enhance our mental and physical health!" - Mike, age 51 (very active athlete)

"Sumara has to be one of the best fitness trainers out there. As a big yoga fan, I was skeptical when hearing about Essentrics. My very first class with her, I was so impressed by her attention to detail in her movements, her skillful routines, her passion and her dedication to her students. Needless to say, I’ve been hooked ever since and am now one of her many regular students. Practicing Essentrics has improved my mobility, my flexibility and my strength. I have chronic pain in my neck and in my back and her Essentrics classes have been helping me in the most holistic way. I strongly recommend this class to anyone who wants to move their body in the most accessible and healthy way possible." - Bianca, age 25

"Preparing for my third marathon, this time I wanted to find a complementary training to counterbalance all the running. I've been attending Sumara's Essentrics classes on zoom since January (1x-2x/week) and feel great!! The dynamic stretches have improved my core strength, posture and flexibility. Sumara is passionate about Essentrics and her feedbacks are super helpful and motivating." - Fabienne, age 29
"The class was excellent. It was my first time and Sumara explained all the moves nicely and why we do such exercises. ESSENTRICS was new to me. My work is 100% at the desk so I really needed to unlock that tension in my hips, lower back, and neck. I immediately felt better after just 30min of these targeted movements. Thank you Sumara!" - Marie Claire, age 38
"I've been doing online Essentrics classes with Sumara for two months and I've noticed a huge improvement in my balance and range of motion, as well as a decrease in neck and back pain. I have a lot of problems with chronic tension and nerve compression. Doing the wrong type of workout can really set me back. The gentle tone classes are perfect for me. She uses wonderful descriptions and analogies during each movement, which help with body awareness. Sumara's passion for Essentrics and helping people is obvious. I highly recommend her classes!" - Lisa, age 36
