In 2026, Haiyan’s annual 21 Days of Practice is becoming 15 Days of Practice, in honor of our 15th anniversary!

15 Days of Practice is designed to help you establish (or reconnect to) a daily practice, or sadhana. A sadhana creates structured time in your day for steadiness, clarity, and connection to the sacred. After the 15 days is over, you can either continue practicing with Haiyan daily in the mornings or you can take what you learned and create your own daily rhythm.

Join Haiyan virtually every morning (and optionally most evenings) from 6 to 7:30 for 15 straight days . . . or as much as you can. The last day is January 26. Pajamas welcome.

So many beings have taken care of Sama through the years. We wouldn’t have made it this far without them. To everyone who has been a part of our community over the last 15 years— thank you! 💫

Celebrate 15 years of accessible classes with us on Saturday, January 17, 5-8 pm. We would love to see you there!

💙 Join us for a very special Dharma Club led by Haiyan.

Every month we meet to explore various yogic topics. It's always an amazing gathering. On Thursday Haiyan will share about Vipassana from his personal experience.

You can join us in person or online. Though if you come in person you also get food and we heard that Barry is cooking. iykyk

Join is for community, dharma, and a meal.

Thursday 7:35pm & by donation/free

Dharma Club is one of our favorite community led gatherings.

See you then!

⚡️15 special events this year for our 15th anniversary! ⚡️Whenever you see the mark on the third slide on an event, know that this is a SPECIAL and likely RARE event that is not likely to happen again soon (or ever) so SIGN UP STAT!

Thank you to for giving us this idea. 😍 Which event are you most looking forward to? 👇👇👇

01/05/2026

Don’t miss this chance to meet with and learn from the incredible .piver. The topic: meditation for mystics. What if meditation was no longer framed as a form of stress relief or a hack to better leadership, but as a tool for awakening? This is your chance to hear from an expert teacher with 25+ years of practice who has a book coming out on this very subject soon.

You can join us in studio or VIRTUALLY from wherever you are, but don’t miss out!

Saturday’s retreat is waitlisted but that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of Susan coming to Sama. See you there 💫
