About Us
Finding Balance Through Practice
Our vision here at SAMA is to provide a space where individuals can break free from the cycle of constant hustle and reconnect with self-care practices, personal enrichment while prioritizing physical and mental well-being.
We combine the best of both worlds by honoring traditional practice and embracing progressive movement. We believe this blend allows for a holistic approach to rebalance the body and nurture mental equanimity.
We offer a welcoming culture that embraces individuals of all levels, from beginner to advanced and encourage a diverse range of people to engage with the practice.
We strive to help alleviate the intimidation factor often associated with yoga and truly believe that the benefits of yoga are attainable for everyone, everybody, everywhere.

Meet the Owner
BRENN MICAEL
My passion for yoga, combined with my experience in practice and teaching, has culminated into the creation and life of this studio. SAMA is a collection of all my education, influences, and experiences from various places and teachers I've studied from and practiced under. SAMA is an embodiment of my dedication, passion and belief system for us as humans to move towards a more conscious and balanced life. It's a beautiful manifestation of my yoga journey, that begins from my very first class to the very present moment, and serves as a hub for others to share in my teachings and love for the practice.
