Sam Rao, a Senior Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance Professionals, has developed a world-class yoga school that concentrates on teaching excellence, developing supportive teacher communities, and promoting yoga as an integral part of everyone’s daily health routine
Born into an Indian family in Uganda, Sam has led a multi-national lifestyle, having lived, studied and taught all over the world. Encouraged by his father, Sam began his yoga journey as a child, but it wasn’t until he suffered an injury to his back as an adult, that he found himself turning to yoga as a serious practice.
“I am very interested in understanding the human body and how the regular practice of yoga can benefit and affect the body, mind and spirit.”
Sam teaches with enthusiasm, and brings warmth and clarity to his explanations, enabling his students to easily visualise and work with the body. His unique style of teaching unites pupil and teacher in an atmosphere of fun and wellbeing. He’s also well known for his attention to detail and precision in postures, at all times encouraging his students to extend their potential and to work through their perceived limitations.
