Empowering Yoga Teacher Training Programs

About Samantha

As a seasoned yoga practitioner, instructor, and tenured college professor in the Bay Area, I have dedicated myself to the art of yoga and its transformative power. What sets my approach apart is my specialization in decolonization practices within yoga. I believe in honoring and celebrating the origins of yoga while embracing a modern philosophy that centers on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Feedback from students and teachers has been overwhelmingly positive:

"This workshop should be an integral part of ALL yoga teacher trainings. What better way to pay homage to the roots of these practices?”

“Exceptional class, skillfully presenting challenging concepts with compassion and kindness.”


"The material was thoughtfully presented in a clear, dynamic, active way, and was rich with personal and direct experience from Samantha."

"To leave this out of your YTT is a HUGE disservice to your students and the communities they serve."

Workshops and Modules

I design interactive and discussion-based teaching modules personalized for your specific yoga teacher training program. My workshops and modules focus on decolonization practices and center justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion in yoga.

Drawing on my many years in education, I can also assist you in making your teacher training modules more interactive and engaging.
