Sama has expanded and moved to 215 Elm Street!

Sama is the award-winning, Yoga Alliance–accredited studio and training academy, named 2026 Best Yoga Studio by Darien/New Canaan Lifestyle Magazine. Our signature Sama Method is a nervous-system-based approach that builds strength, recovery and calm at a sustainable pace.

Our new home sits up among the treetops and is surrounded by windows and natural light. It’s a calm, uplifting space to move, breathe and connect with a community that feels like home.

Alongside the classes, private lessons, workshops, retreats and trainings you already love, Sama is adding:

  • Infrared: arriving mid-December
  • Reformer Pilates: launching January 2027
  • New teachers, community events and partnerships

Join Sama for its Grand Opening and Chamber Ribbon Cutting on Sunday, November 22 at 3pm, with the ribbon cutting at 4pm.
