Sam B Belyea

Sam has always explored her world through movement, with sincere curiosity for body-mind integration and Somatics. She found Yoga, or Yoga found her, during the turbulence of her teenage years, in which she was consumed by debilitating anxiety and eating disorders. The practice became a solace for her, where the weaving of breath and movement allowed her to lean into and transverse her raw and delicate underworld. A magnetic resonance with the deeper teachings and philosophy continued to coax her back to her mat day after day. Movement and deep enquiry, as well as a profound connection to the natural world, became her medicine.

The immense healing of her practice catapulted her into a lifelong journey of never ending discovery. She is immersed in the world of Embodied Flow under Tara Judelle and Scott Lyons and forever inspired by Noelle Connolly and Satu Tuomela. She has also had the privilege to train under Maty Ezraty, Adam Whiting, Lorin Roche & Camille Maurine and Simon Park - culminating in over a 1000 hours of training.

Sam shares her passion for embodiment, somatics and Classical Tantra as well as living life connected and in collaborations with Nature’s wisdom. Her classes are rich yet playful, threading creative and thoughtful sequencing with poetic rhetoric and embodied philosophy. She also teaches Yin and Restorative Yoga as well as meditation, offering a cocoon for rejuvenation, heart-full recalibration and expansive connection to the subtleties of our inner layers.

In all of her classes Sam holds an inclusive space for students to curiously explore their own rhythms and embodiment and delight in their own awakening. In this way she feels the practice becomes a call to come home to ourselves, and in such home to Nature itself.
