Sam Kim

sam (she/her), RYT-200®

as a dancer, a dreamer, a yogi, and a big “living in your body” type, sam has devoted much time attempting to connect the physical experience & the ethereal divine. an avid lover of ritual, she believes that yoga can unite more than breath to movement: when we move & breathe together, we build community. an avid reader & a lover of myth, she finds in yoga a space for suspended belief, archetypes, & – yes – even a little magic.

coming of age among strippers & drag queens, sam has always understood that gender is performative, that sexuality is a spectrum, & that we all contain multitudes. light/dark, effort/ ease, sacred/profane, feminine/masculine are all fluid in each of us. her alignment focused practice is for every body. based on authenticity, openness, presence, & accessibility, her classes encourage students to show up for themselves & their bodies with compassion, inclusivity, & joy. classes are likely to include conversations on connectivity; mindful movement matched with breath; lots of form options in order to meet yourself where you are; & a cultivated sense of love & compassion for yourself and others.
