Philosophy

Sama [sämə]: Calmness, tranquility, equal or same. Yoga is a lifelong practice, and wherever you are right now is the perfect place to begin, or begin again. At Sama, we believe that yoga is for every body, age and ability: Everyone can benefit from a yoga practice. That’s why we offer an array of styles and instructors who work with you to help you find your best practice. Regardless of your experience, body-type, age or ability, Sama Yoga welcomes you. Yoga is a strategy for overall health, well-being and joy, on and off the mat. It can help to alleviate stress and balance our sleep patterns, stimulate digestion and bring fluidity into joints, help to facilitate clear boundaries and move through trauma. Our mission is to empower you to move at your own pace and offer strategic tools to take from your mat into your life. Expect impeccable teaching, attitude and support for you and your family at Sama. Classes are offered by certified, experienced and compassionate teachers in our state-of-the-art studio. We hold special sessions outdoors on our yoga deck and meditation garden, weather permitting, right here in the heart of New Canaan, Connecticut. Everyone can do yoga. Our job is to facilitate a practice and program that is both challenging and empowering. We are trained to help you breathe, move and rest so that you can be the best you can be and return to your daily life with a fresh perspective. We can’t wait to meet you. A studio by Rebekah Jacobs
