Samara

Samara is a dancer that thrives on teaching at the intersection of movement and neuroscience to enhance resilience, relaxation and performance. As a certified Integrated Yoga Tune Up® teacher, Samara has a passion for integrating elements to support and empower students to re-discover an innate awareness with their own bodies, identify body blind spots and re-pattern a stronger foundation.

Samara’s yoga teaching style has a focus on alignment and balance, maintaining a connection between the body, mind, and breath through dynamic and creative sequences, integrating playful opportunities to fly and explore. She is also a yoga teacher trainer with Yoga to the People 200hr teacher training, The Craft at Bohemian Studios 200hr, and Twist Yoga 500hr. She also co-teaches a 20hr Trauma Informed Yoga training with Emily Pantalone through their organization Feet on the Ground. She is an avid lover of all nature sports, including cycling, stand up paddle boarding and hiking. Samara holds a MA in International Policy Studies, a BA in International Business, and has worked in international aid and development for more than a decade.
