Rebekah and Angie, who led the Sama Yoga 200 hour YTT, were warm, kind, inspirational, and full of knowledge! It was an incredible experience learning from them and practicing in the beautiful Sama studio. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of students to work with as well.

A soul enriching experience I feel is only starting.Rachel C.
The 200 Hour Teacher Training program at Sama was a beautiful, magical, and truly life changing experience. The Sama Yoga community exemplifies a supportive, welcoming, safe space for everyone, and the Teacher Training was no different. Rebekah and Angie are dedicated, passionate teachers and they masterfully instructed the material in an informative, accessible and fun way! I entered this training to deepen my own practice, yet what I gained was SO MUCH more. I feel empowered to serve and know this is just the beginning! It was an honor to be a part of this program and Sama has truly become a home away from home.Jennifer T.
