Samantha’s journey to yoga started many moons ago in a very sweaty Bikram yoga class. She was in the military at the time, and had just gotten back from her second deployment. That pinnacle break through moment was the first time in as long as she could remember that she could settle into peace in her own mind. It planted the seed for her to eventually land at Asana Studio in Olde Town Arvada, CO where she now instructs as a hatha style vinyasa, gentle, restorative, yin, and meditation teacher. Sam believes that the movement of the body and breath, whether through art, music, dance, athletic activity, or the expansive practice of yoga, is the direct expression of the soul. Her classes involve carefully composed melodies of movement that are both challenging and accessible to all levels, while cultivating mindfulness through loving awareness.
Sam’s mission is to create a space in which students feel safe and empowered to explore inner and outer worlds, deepening and experimenting in their own unique possibilities through Hatha style practice.
Outside of instructing, she is an artist, music fanatic, animal lover, consciousness explorer, and total goof.
She looks forward to meeting you on the journey, after all “We’re all just walking each other home”. -Ram Dass
