Overview

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.

    I feel blessed of having opportunity to attend and complete Sam Rao Yoga Teacher Training School (250 hours) in 2017. Sam is a wonderful teacher who has special qualities, which makes him one of the best teachers. Sam foresees the student’s unique potential, diversity and patiently encourages personal realization by providing all needed support and strongly believing in individual’s abilities. The diversity is very welcomed in Sam’s School. The course consists of a number very well prepared subjects, which are presented by knowledgeable professionals and experienced yoga teaches as well as Sam himself. That presents a wonderful opportunity to see/hear the information from various reliable sources. Sam’s school never stops growing, developing - all materials are periodically reviewed and up-to-date; new relevant topics are continuously introduced to the course.

    Same Rao is exceptionally knowledgeable with a calm, kind style of teaching that makes you feel safe and ready to be challenged. His school guides you carefully through a balanced syllabus of theory and practice with beginners also experiencing teacher from month 1. There a camaraderie amongst the teachers in training that's a great support when you're learning his team that support his teaching are also open and supportive so you always feel comfortable asking questions or a easily taking guidance whether that's being close by when you are first experiencing the teaching the public practice or working with you to encourage, affirm your ability and potential. I qualified in October 2017 and I've built my confidence with evening, work place classes, day and week long retreats since. If you're hesitating, be assured that you're in safe and very capable hands with Sam and his great team.

    Sam Rao Yoga Teacher Training Course (250hr)

    I am so happy I found this course. From day one, Sam welcomed me into his school and straightaway, I was made to feel at ease. Everyone is friendly, warm and supportive. Not only is Sam charismatic, but he has built a wonderful kind and caring ethos in the school. He works hard to develop your yoga teaching and knowledge. Even though I have finished my course, he is always there to offer advice and guidance. I have 100% loved my training here; it is the best decision I have made.

    Excellent yoga teacher training school. Very friendly, informative and very supported. Sam Rao and all teachers were training us with excellent knowledge and great experience. I felt like home just right at the first training weekend. I had not think twice when I decided to choose Sam Rao Yoga School to enrol and I hope you will find this experience too. Uyen x

    I did my teacher training with Sam Rao in 2013. The course is practical based which suited me perfectly, we taught yoga postures from day one. The atmosphere Sam creates is warm and friendly, inclusive and interactive. I looked forward to training weekends and learnt an enormous amount. I currently teach 8 classes a week, a few one to ones, I also run regular retreats in Spain, day retreats and Meditation events. I have a wonderful career in yoga. Sam is always on hand for questions and support after your course finishes.
