About Sam

Hi, I’m Sam (she/her) – yoga teacher, mindfulness practitioner, and guided meditation facilitator based in the UK.

I help people reconnect with their breath, their body, and a deeper sense of ease – especially those who spend their days under pressure, behind a desk, or pulled in every direction. I know how that feels. I balance full-time office work with growing my yoga practice and teaching.

Yoga didn’t come naturally to me at first, I gave up on it in 2003, but came back in 2014, and everything changed. I realised yoga wasn’t about performing shapes; it was a whole system of practices that helped me feel steadier, more spacious, and more like myself.

After five years of dedicated practice, I completed my teacher training in 2019 with Frog Lotus Yoga International, at the beautiful Suryalila Retreat Centre in Spain.

Since then, I’ve shared vinyāsa flow, restorative yoga, yoga nidrā, prāṇāyāma, mindfulness, and accessible practices like chair yoga with students online and in person. I’m particularly passionate about supporting those who feel stuck in stress, tension, or exhaustion – and guiding them to rediscover calm, clarity, and comfort in their bodies.

My teaching style is accessible, inclusive, and rooted in respect. You won’t find performance, pressure, or competition in my spaces. Instead, I’ll meet you where you are, support your nervous system, and help you feel more like you again.

How I Work

I create intentional, down-to-earth spaces for people seeking meaningful change – not just fitness, but freedom. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, tight shoulders, emotional overwhelm, or a general sense of disconnection, there’s a way through. And I’m here to guide you, one breath at a time.

Training & Professional Development

In the UK, there’s no official requirement for yoga teachers to complete qualifications or continue their professional development; but I believe in lifelong learning – not just to deepen my own practice, but to keep showing up as a safe, informed, and empowering teacher for others.

So far, I’ve completed over 450 hours of yoga-related CPD, plus an additional 250+ hours in complementary subjects like nutrition, mindfulness, and mental health.

I don’t pretend to know it all, but I’m always learning, listening, and refining what I offer.
