Less flow. More focus. 🔥

Think you need to move fast to build strength? Think again.

HATHA HOLDS is where we slow things down, stay a little longer, and discover just how much happens in stillness.

Expect intentional movement, longer holds, steady breath, and a practice that challenges both your physical strength and mental focus.

Because sometimes the hardest part of yoga isn’t getting into the pose. It’s staying there.

Come find your edge. Breathe through it. Build strength in the stillness.

THE SCENT OF SAMA. 🌿

What started as a conversation between Sarah of Sarah Nelson and myself turned into something truly special.

Inspired by my love of nature, earthy scents, and the beautiful simplicity of the natural world, Sarah created a signature scent exclusively for SAMA — Sapwood.

Inspired by the inner wood of a tree and crafted with notes of lime peel, fig, and walnut, this scent captures something grounding, organic, and quietly beautiful. Earthy, warm, and a little unexpected. A little piece of nature, bottled into something uniquely ours.

Our original SAMA candles quickly became a favorite, and when Sarah moved away, we sold out of the last of them.

But Sarah is back, creating again, and this time she’s exploring the art of perfumery.

And for those of you who have been asking about our signature scent… IT’S BACK!

Sarah has beautifully recreated Sapwood, only this time, instead of a candle, she’s bottled it as a perfume.

It’s earthy. It’s beautiful. It’s one of a kind.

And it’s so special to have something that began as a simple conversation between two women who love nature and creating meaningful things come full circle.

The scent of SAMA is officially here again!! 🫶

YOU’RE INVITED TO:
Prepare your body for a better night’s sleep.

We’ll begin with a slow, grounding Yin practice to release tension and quiet the body, then transition into Yoga Nidra, a guided practice of deep rest.

Think of it as intentionally winding down …giving your system space to settle before you head home and climb into bed.

Come comfortable.
Leave rested.
Sleep well.

Space is limited • Pre-registration encouraged

The mat is a small piece of earth
we choose to make sacred.

A boundary drawn
between the noise of the world
and the quiet work of knowing ourselves.

Here, the body becomes teacher.
The breath becomes language.
Stillness becomes something we practice
rather than something we wait to find.

We arrive carrying everything.
•ambition• •tension• •memory• •expectation•
and for a little while,
we are asked only to notice.

To inhabit the body.
To witness the mind.
To practice effort without force,
and surrender without collapse.

Perhaps that is what makes this space sacred:

not that we escape our lives here,
but that we learn how to return to them
more awake.

The mat is small.

The practice is not.

The OG’s! If you’ve been to SAMA, you’ve probably seen these little balls make an appearance!

We often think recovery means stretching tighter muscles, improving flexibility, or rolling out whatever feels sore. But recovery is also about the state your body is in while you’re doing it.

You can stretch. You can foam roll. You can work on mobility. You can check every recovery box and still move through all of it in a rushed, overstimulated state.

At SAMA, we want recovery to feel different.

The Original Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Balls give us a simple tool to slow things down and bring attention inward. We use them to explore areas of tension, create targeted pressure, work with mobility and encourage greater body awareness.

But the space around the work matters too.

A quieter environment.
Slower movement.
Intentional breathing.
Time to notice instead of perform.
Permission to do less.

Because sometimes what your body needs isn’t another intense workout disguised as “recovery.” It needs an opportunity to down-regulate.

That’s why our recovery work isn’t about aggressively digging into a muscle or forcing ourselves into a deeper stretch. We use pressure, movement and breath as an opportunity to listen and notice where we’re holding tension and give the body time to respond.

Recovery isn’t always about gaining more range.
Sometimes it’s about creating more space.

Space in the tissues.
Space in the breath.
Space in the nervous system.
Space in your day.

👉We have a 90min Performance Recovery Class w/ Mary Elizabeth Hedrick, certified Roll Model Method instructor, coming up Next Sunday at 2:30!
👉She’ll be focusing on the lower deck. Hips-Glutes-Hams-Calves-Quads

📢 PSA: Yoga was never meant to make us all look the same!!!

Different bodies. Different proportions. Different mobility. Different strength. Different histories. Different needs.
So why would we expect 16 people in the same room to create sixteen identical shapes?

‼️ The goal isn’t to perform the pose.
It isn’t to be the deepest, most flexible, or most advanced person in the room. ‼️

👉The practice is learning your body. Knowing when to challenge it. Knowing when to adjust. Knowing when to soften. And developing enough awareness to understand the difference.👈

Alignment matters—but alignment is a set of principles, not a demand for identical shapes.

✍️Progress isn’t always going deeper.
✍️More intensity isn’t always better.
✍️And advanced doesn’t always mean harder.

🗣️Sometimes the most advanced thing you can do is listen.

Real bodies. Real practice. No performance required.

This is yoga.
This is SAMA.
