Hey, I am Sam. I found yoga when I was at university. It gave me an hour of peace once a week where the only thing that mattered was what was happening in the room. Once I finished my studies, I continue to attend regularly. It offered me a place to chill out, focus on learning more about my body and get a gentle workout in that was enjoyable! This was a massive turning point for me and the interest continued to grow until I decided to train as a teacher. I want my classes to offer the same benefits that I experienced.
Since completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2019 at Whitespace Yoga Studio, I started teaching beginners classes in Northampton, Northamptonshire designed to be accessible, yet challenging. These classes find a balance between strength, stretch and breath as my goal is to help students strengthen the body, experience breathing techniques and a mind-body-breath connection. I have a personal interest in anatomy and injury which is growing with research and training and is weaved into my classes.
My Monday classes have evolved from beginners to mixed ability classes with my students as they enhance their knowledge. This opened a space for a new beginners class to be introduced that is on Thursday evenings. I have also joined the team at Autonomy Yoga in Northampton for a weekly Tuesday evening Hatha Flow class.
