Sam Sharkey

Sam Sharkey. Sam (she/they) is a certified yoga teacher, nature enthusiast, and life long student in somatic healing. Her yoga journey began as an athlete seeking greater flexibility, but the most dramatic benefits of yoga -mental clarity and emotional fortitude- quickly hooked her into the practice. After an acute injury became chronic pain during her yoga training in India, she studied back home in the US with physical therapists, kinesiologists, and chiropractors. Lasting relief and healing came from combining western anatomical studies with spiritual teachings from Yoga, Buddhism, and Daoism, unlocking her capacity for radical acceptance and increased physical ability. As an instructor, she enjoys helping people work through depression, anxiety, and physical ailments of modernity, and exploring our spiritual inner worlds. In her spare time, you'll find her working on her (aspiring) urban homestead with her family, cozying up with a fantasy book, or doing fun stuff outside.
