Sam P

Certified Yoga Instructor

​

Sam first became a yoga practitioner in 2008 when he began taking classes at his local YMCA where he grew up in Southeast Missouri. What started as a physical practice transformed over time into a journey of introspection in search of mental wellness and community.

​

In 2016, he began his 200-hour yoga teacher training with Yoga East Healing Arts in Cape Girardeau, MO. He began teaching at every opportunity, with experiences ranging from small yoga studios, large scale fitness centers, a physical therapy clinic, and community events. In his commitment to growth, Sam pursued additional education again at Yoga East to become a 500-hour RYT, completing the program in 2021.

​

Sam’s teaching style is inspired by yoga philosophy yet grounded in modern reality. Each time Sam teaches, he aspires to tap into his creativity to create a unique experience rooted in a sense of holistic wellbeing. More than anything, he enjoys connecting with those who attend his classes on their particular interests when it comes to yoga. Whether your motivation is stress reduction, recovering from an injury, or an interest in working with the energy of the subtle body, Sam absolutely wants to hear about it.

 

Along with their two cats, Sam and his husband have made Roseville, MN their home since 2019. When he isn’t teaching yoga, Sam enjoys taking walks, playing the piano, and writing.
