Sam (Sammy)

Sam, known affectionately by practitioners as Sammy, became a certified instructor after falling in love with Kaia staples over fifteen years ago before finishing high school. Sammy’s journey from high-performing athlete to yogi translates onto the mat today: infusing fun with a technical emphasis and knowledge of the yoga practice. Sam’s class is unique, energetic, playful, and challenging. He incorporates poses for all levels with strengthening calisthenics exercises in a purposeful and challenging way between postures. No matter the time of day, Sammy has the ability to read the energy in the room before crafting and facilitating dynamic classes to prepare the body for depth in each asana. He intuitively understands the mind-body needs of each individual student to better aid them through their vinyasa. You will sweat, maybe even curse under your breath, dance, and laugh with his vibrant beautiful crazy self, which motivates each student to push themselves harder. Sammy’s primary objective is to cultivate practitioners mind body connection within themselves - on and off the mat - while of course remembering to simply have fun.
