Sam Loe

Sam’s yoga practice and teaching come from a somatic place of listening deeply within. She is passionate about sharing yoga in a way that empowers and gives agency to her students through creating safe learning environments, invitational and choice based practices and ultimately supporting people to develop their own self-practice.

Over nearly 20 years of yoga she has worked with people in many different environments and situations including schools and colleges, hospitals, mental health communities, with pregnant women and those living with health challenges including cancer, anxiety and depression. Sam is a certified iRest Teacher and in addition shares functional, therapeutic and restorative practices in her community, via classes, workshops and retreats.

Along with Neal and Karla, Sam has studied, assisted and taught in depth with Donna Farhi who continues to lead the way in a global movement to develop a pedagogic model of teaching yoga that moves beyond patriarchal methods and lineages. It is a contemporary approach that honours authentic yoga practice by prioritising inquiry through sensing, feeling, deduction and evolving. Sam feels hugely grateful for the ongoing exploration and self-discovery that this approach elicits.
