Teachers > Samantha Chan

Samantha began yoga with intentions to deepen her personal practice and expand her knowledge of yoga.  After her first teacher training programme in 2005, yoga transformed into a lifelong journey of learning, opening, sharing and teaching.  Samantha’s vision and knowledge have grown to include not only yoga, but also women’s health, life balance, and total wellness.  She enjoys her friendships, family, pottery, photography, reading, hiking, travel and food.

Samantha’s inspiration comes from each of her past teachers as well as her students.  She believes that watching students practise yoga increases her understanding of yoga’s complete benefit for a happy and healthy life. This enables her to continually grow as she teaches. In addition to her foundational Hatha Vinyasa teacher training, she has also expanded into Pre- and Post-natal Yoga Teacher Training, Birthlight Perinatal Yoga, Infant Massage, and Kids Yoga.

Samantha is particularly focused on teaching that allows for the progression of students at their own paces. Her style is steady, calm and very approachable, aptly her nickname as ‘killer Sam’. She has an astonishing way of making students work, raising their practice to higher and higher levels – without them feeling it was all work and no play. She is down-to-earth and guiding in her life as well as her teaching.
