Sam first started practicing yoga over 10 years ago as an opportunity to spend more quality time with her mom, who was a dedicated yogi trained by Baron Baptiste. Since the beginning of her yoga journey, she has discovered a love for the practice that extends far beyond the physical benefits. As an avid gym rat, ex-bodybuilder, and someone who dealt with poor body image for the majority of her life, time on the mat has always felt safe and judgement-free.

 

After relocating to ATL from Florida in 2015, Sam practiced at several studios within the metro area. She will never forger the day she stumbled into Highland Yoga, and told Elise immediately after her first class, "this is home." 

 

Sam completed her RYT-200 at Highland Yoga, with a goal of sharing her love for this beautiful practice with others. Her classes are upbeat, fast-paced, and are aimed at being fun for all levels. She hopes that students can take her class and spend an hour dedicated to self-care, while leaving life's to-do list at the door
