Samantha is first and foremost a student who seeks continued education and spiritual + personal expansion as often as she can. She believes in the power of pausing, slowing down and allowing integration, observation and absorption to happen. In her classes, you will find a balance of flow and slow to allow for these moments in your body as well. Her aim is to hold a safe space for all bodies to find somatic release, expression and curiosity, with the potential to deepen into spiritual and energetic layers if that’s where the practitioner wants to take themselves. With a mix of practical and philosophical material in her classes, she hopes her students will find the freedom to choose their path based on their needs & desires. 

Her background in Ashtanga has provided her with a foundation of anatomy and alignment based cuing that will help practitioners feel into the poses and their bodies safely, balanced with a somatic and embodied focus through her trauma-informed training and sensitivity. She believes that the physical body and a moving meditation is the first frontier and pathway to a deeper spiritual and yoga practice. Through her teaching she aims to empower practitioners to harness, hone and master the tools of the yoga practice for self-guided healing, regulation, transformation and actualization - both on and, more specifically, off of the mat.
