Samantha

Yoga came to Samantha in high school as a way to gain strength and flexibility for horseback riding. Yoga flitted in and out of her life through college and was made a permanent part of her life when she lived in Carmel, Indiana – maintaining a home practice when she wasn’t sweating it out during hot classes after work. She began practicing at Fire Horse after moving back home to Dubois County in January 2016. Samantha fell in love with yin yoga after taking one class with Julia Jalles and knew that she wanted to bring this practice to the lives of others. She finished her 200-hour teacher training at Fire Horse in November 2017 and is passionate about the benefits of all yoga, but especially yin, restorative, and hatha yoga.

In addition to teaching yoga, Sam is  certified in the BarreAbove method and loves teaching the Thursday evening Barre Fusion class, combining the movements of barre with the relaxation and breath awareness of yoga.  Samantha also attends classes at Fire Horse and maintains a daily  practice at home with her two young daughters and husband. She’s an avid believer in taking time out of our busy lives to rest and restore our bodies and minds. Samantha’s intention is to bring a deep level of peace and an awareness of body and breath to every student she teaches.

When she’s not at the studio, Samantha works in marketing part-time for two  different organizations and loves spending time with her family on their farm in Bretzville — hiking, riding their 4 horses (Suzy, Troubadour, Ginger, and Dash), porch-sitting, and loving on their 3 rescue dogs (Roxy,  Rory, Charlotte) and 6 cats (Greay, George, Leo, Aqua, Biscuit, and Pepper Potts)
