🌟Meet the Teacher: Samantha🌟

‘For more than 20 years, my mat has traveled everywhere with me—from corporate studios and cozy local classes to mountain top hikes, beach flows, and even climbing crags.

Yoga began as a purely physical practice, a way to challenge and move my body—but everything shifted during pregnancy with my oldest son. Prenatal yoga, and a very special teacher, helped me heal, grow, and step into motherhood with strength and grace.

After more than a decade in Southern California, life brought my husband, our three young boys, and me back to Virginia. My home yoga practice came with me, but I soon realized I was seeking a deeper connection to something greater. This led to the completion of my 200-hour yoga teacher training with

What started as a personal journey became something so much bigger—a calling to share yoga as a practice of self-love, empowerment, and connection.’

🌟Meet the teacher: Sarah M🌟

“My yoga journey started as a little experiment to find a new challenge, and it turned into a lifelong passion that I absolutely love sharing.

I’m a navy veteran, military spouse, and proud mom of two daughters who keep me on my toes. As a navy spouse, I’ve moved coast to coast and had to pick up and reset many times — yoga has been my anchor through all that change.

One of my favorite things in the world is rolling out my mat—especially outdoors in the fresh air—and finding that peaceful space within. I also love hiking, and I find that time in nature, whether on the trail or on my mat, always helps bring me back to center.

I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with and additional Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with .dianemalaspina right here at GUD Yoga.

In my classes, I share my love of Restorative Yoga by creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where students can find a sense of support, calm, and tranquility.”
