Samantha Walker began practicing and teaching yoga at her alma mater, Stephen F. Austin State University, in 2010. Samantha’s practice is deeply rooted in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and Vipassana Meditation through the Pattabhi Jois, David Williams, and Jonny Kest lineage. She has taught yoga classes and trained yoga teachers all over Houston in various yoga studios and gyms since 2012. In her classes, her goal is to guide students inward and encourage them to listen to their bodies. Yoga helps to heal the body mentally, physically, and emotionally from the inside out. “The more we can feel, the more we can heal.” Samantha is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and you can follow her @samanthawalkeryoga

Meet our Story Time teacher!
