SS Online Classes Testimonial

I have known of Suhaila for many years, but never thought about training with a teacher who does not live in my city. I found Suhaila one day while feeding my daughter and watching Ellen. Watching her on the show inspired me to do more research on the Suhaila Salimpour format. Once my daughter stopped breastfeeding, I went out to the “mother ship” for a level 1 workshop. It was hard to leave my daughter, but I was so excited to start a new journey.

After the workshop I was sore, but to my amazement nothing hurt! I was completely hooked and became a Suahaila-ite before I got on the plane to come home. Working out at home with the DVDs was good at first, but the lack of new input became frustrating. So I went back to the mother ship again! (I am so happy to have a supportive family!) After a multi-level week long workshop, I tested and passed for my level 1 certification. Back home again, I had trouble keeping up my pace practicing and somehow always found other things to tempt my time away.

I purchased the year-long subscription to Suhaila’s online classes the first day they were available and I could not be happier. (I knew it was coming and was saving my pennies!) There is nothing like this out there! The DVDs were great, but didn’t have the depth and variety of the online classes. It is much easier to train in the Suhaila format with the huge online resource.

I don’t have time to do a whole class every day, but my goal is to at least finish a warm up. Even at that level of effort, let me tell you that my abs are getting stronger and stronger. I recently went to a Rachel Brice workshop and my stamina amazed me. I have changed nothing else in my workout routine except for adding the Suhaila online classes.



I was asked by Suhaila Salminpour school of Belly Dance to write a testimonial for their online classes because I have been raving about the classes. This is what I wrote, we shall we if, and how much these use.

I love being able to take a class without leaving home. My 2-½ year old daughter will hang out with me while I take an online class and sometimes follow along. She tells others in the family to, “leave Mommy alone…she is doing Suhaila.” She knows Suhaila’s voice and sometimes will mimic Suhaila by saying, “Breath! Flat back! Home Position!”

I now have girlfriends coming over to do Suhaila with me. It is great to be able to say things to Suhaila I would never dare say in class. Though the most common phrase said by my friends and me is, “how did she know I was doing that?” There is something about being able to take a class that really does help me to push harder. I think it is Suhaila’s obvious passion that is so inspiring. I can feel how strong I am becoming and have even lost weight without changing anything else.

Thank you so much for providing this much-needed training.
