Who it's for

This is for you if…

What it is

Yoga

YogaFlow is a wonderful blend of slow moving yoga postures (asanas). A blend of Hatha & Vinyasa styles, Sam will lead you through your practice with knowledge, experience and a keen eye for alignment. Yoga is for everyone. It will bring you a sense of relaxation, of calm and of balance. It is a perfect complement to other sports, allowing the body time to stretch and lengthen.

Many people come to yoga for the ‘flexibility’ or the ‘stretch’. I find most people enjoy meditation and relaxation the most. So, we enjoy a blend of all of these things. I believe we should pay attention and give thanks to this ancient Indian practice by acknowledging its origins.

Sam has over 20 years of Yoga practice and teaching but above all, of coaching and observing people move. Always the student, Sam is currently studying for her 500yr Viniyoga Teacher Training with Dr Kausthub Desikichar. Come and experience a yoga session with us, at the warm and inviting studio. Free parking right outside.

What the women here say

"Before Sam's Studio" I'd never committed to exercise, Not once, not ever, till I walked through your door. Now I hate to miss even one class - Who knew I'd be asking for more?! You offer so much more than fitness, Sam, More than just sweat and sore muscles too. From sunrise yoga greeting the dawn, To wellness workshops that see me through. Strength training built for women like me, A space where confidence starts to grow. But the real magic, the deepest gift, Is the community I now know. Body and mind, you've changed them both, With every breath, rep, and shared smile. This strong circle of women beside me - You've made the journey worthwhile. So thank you, Sam, for all that you do, For the strength, the peace, the light. You gave me more than exercise - You gave me a reason to show up right ☺️

Had the most amazing time at Sam's yoga retreat in Capileira. A perfect start to each day with morning yoga followed by stunning hikes in the mountains with delicious food and lovely company, all made extra special by Sam and Marco's extra touches. It was my first time traveling abroad and was such an incredible experience from start to finish, arrived home feeling ready to take on the world. Can't thank them enough, would highly recommend 😁
