On a yoga retreat in 1999 Sam met Ruth White, an inspirational and dynamic Iyengar yoga teacher who had been taught by Mr BKS Iyengar. It was with Ruth that he decided to complete a three year yoga teaching programme, and never looked back.
“I am very interested in understanding the human body and how the regular practice of yoga can benefit and affect the body, mind and spirit.
Sam is a senior yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance and a Trainer Plus Teacher Trainer. During the week I run mixed ability yoga classes in Crowthorne and Bracknell I also have a well-established yoga teacher training school, focusing on ‘teaching to teach’ and educating my teacher yogis on the effects of postures on the body as a whole.
Sam teaches with enthusiasm, and brings warmth and clarity to his explanations, enabling his students to easily visualise and work with the body. His unique style of teaching unites pupil and teacher in an atmosphere of fun and wellbeing. He’s also well known for his attention to detail and precision in postures. At all times encouraging his students to extend their potential and to work through their limitations.
It is Sam’s intention to develop a world-class yoga school that concentrates on teaching excellence, developing supportive teacher communities, and promoting yoga as an integral part of everyone’s daily health routine.
