“I joined this YTT with the intention of deepening my personal practice, and I ended up gaining so much more than I expected. Beyond learning about yoga, the training offered meaningful opportunities for self-reflection and growth that extended into other areas of my life. I felt genuinely supported by both the instructors and my fellow trainees, and appreciated how flexible and accessible the program was. It provided a strong foundation in yoga philosophy, cueing, and thoughtful sequencing, with a clear emphasis on creating classes that are inclusive, welcoming, and responsive to different bodies and experiences. Over the course of the training, I began to see potential in myself as a teacher that I hadn’t anticipated when I first started. I now feel equipped with both the confidence and the practical tools to share this practice with others in a way that feels authentic and grounded.”
“A truly transformative experience. Fascinating, deeply instructive, and held in a beautiful, welcoming, and supportive environment. Rebekah is an exceptional teacher and leader. She guided us with such grace and care, creating space for our own individual journeys to unfold naturally. I highly recommend this yoga academy to anyone looking to deepen their practice.”
“I loved my teacher training program at Sama with Rebekah! It is so informative and she makes the material digestible as it is A LOT. I appreciate the booklet she creates for the teacher training; it is very clear. I also appreciate her help in continuing my learning with a mentor and opportunities to practice teach. I highly recommend the program!”
“The program was an absolutely joy. Rebekah is the consummate teacher, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It has opened doors to new paths personally and professionally. I am eternally grateful and would recommend anyone who is curious about this training and/or Sama’s practice to not delay and reach out, you won’t be disappointed.”

“This training was incredibly organized, comprehensive, and heartfelt. I learned more than I could have ever hoped. I couldn’t recommend Sama enough.”
“The program includes opportunities for take-home readings and self-practice, complemented by in-studio discussions, peer connections, and co-teaching experiences. Enrolling in the program gives you access to a comprehensive handbook, unlimited classes at Sama, and an online library of additional content, including text and videos. It’s a balanced and supportive approach to learning, fostering both personal and professional growth as a yoga instructor.”
