Bio:

Sam visits us from Om Ananda, a ShambhavAnanda Yoga® center in Fort Collins, Colorado! Sam became interested in yoga to learn about meditation and breathing. She wanted a way to reduce anxiety and improve focus. She is a natural teacher, and it quickly became clear that leading classes flowed naturally for her. So, Sam received her 500-hour teacher certification and began teaching! Today, she has more than 10,000 hours of experience and many students who say her classes are uplifting. Some even say she has changed their lives. When she's not teaching, Sam enjoys doing agility work with her dogs and husband, going roller skating, cooking, and reading.

A Deeply intentional way to practice on New Year's Day....

The vibration of Medicine Buddha Mantra is powerfully soothing and healing, both physically and psychically. In this Medicine Buddha Mantra “Soak”, you will be gently guided through a series of restorative yoga asana (poses held for 3 to 5 minutes or more while luxuriously supported by props such as bolsters, blocks, blankets etc). You may choose to lie silently, soaking in the vibration of live Medicine Buddha Mantra chanting with harmonium. Or you may choose to chant the Mantra along with the group, exploring your relationship with the rich, potent sound and how it vibrates your soul...

You may choose to dedicate the mantra to those you love or hold the vision of the entire world in your Heart as the rich medicine of matrika shakti (energy of spiritual sound vibration) travels far beyond your being....

Surrender. Soak. Renew and Honor YOU.
