Hi, I’m Sam,

I am a qualified Yoga teacher, Pilates instructor and Nutritionist. I have a background in hospitality (chef) and a love of keeping life as simple and easy as possible. 

I also like to support people in feeling good about themselves, especially when they take on something new or start making changes to their eating and/or exercise habits.

I like to keep my Yoga & Pilates classes informal, enjoyable and inclusive, providing the space for people to progress and grow at their own pace.
