Wonderful studio with many great teachers! Have been tons of times and looking forward to going to another yin class tomorrow!
Excellent studio! Best in class! I'm practicing for 17 years, so I guess one might say I'm somewhat familiar with the subject. Teachers are good. Granted, I only do evening classes (alas , my early retirement temporarily delayed so work gets in a way of morning schedules). But even 6pm classes are solid. Some teachers are really rising stars with exceptional feel of flow and feel for the room. The space itself is also very nice with heated floors (yes, details are important!) To be balanced and credible: anything to complain about? Well, yes. None of the teachers ever manually adjust students. Ok for me, but how one could possibly learn yoga without such adjustments - I have no idea. But then noone anywhere it seems these days is adjusting. Ki nd of went out of fashion. I guess COVID is to blame? Or perhaps some complains about inappropriate behavior? Don't know. But wherever. It is what it is. Anyway, if you are looking for a home base in the area - I don't think you can find a better joint. Be kind, be mindful, try to do good.
I took my first class at Sama Yoga while visiting New Canaan, and it was awesome! It’s a beautiful, quaint studio with such a warm, personal feel. The instructor was kind and welcoming, which made being somewhere new feel comfortable right away. The outdoor deck area caught my attention, too. I can’t wait to come back when the weather is warmer and experience a class outside. What a lovely setting for yoga! I visit New Canaan at least once a month, and I’m so happy I found Sama. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for making my first visit such a wonderful experience! 🧘♂️
Zach was so amazing. Not only did he create such a welcoming environment for a first Sama Yoga class, he was so encouraging throughout the class and created an atmosphere where you want to push yourself- for yourself. I feel relaxed, yet like I got a genuine workout. I love the community I have met so far and am excited to try more types of classes here. From what I have experienced, I definitely recommend Sama whether you’re a beginner or advanced yogi.
It was such a great way to end the week at the Friday evening Sama yoga class. It is such a relaxing and safe environment. Zach had such a smooth and relaxing flow. I felt so comfortable during class. Sama is a great place for beginners and look forward to going back.
Sama is the most relaxing, supportive studio I’ve ever been to. I love unwinding at Sarah’s Thursday classes, and always feel refreshed after. Would highly recommend any class at Sama!
Sama Yoga Center is a must-visit for me whenever I am in town. Even though I live out of town, I make it a priority to drop in because the space is so calming, clean, and welcoming. While the entire team is wonderful, (I always end up meeting other instructors and love them too) Amy is absolutely incredible. Her thoughtful and intentional instruction provides the perfect opportunity to decompress, deeply stretch, and release built-up tension. Every class with her leaves me feeling entirely restored, balanced, and re-centered. Sama feels like a supportive community that welcomes you right back no matter how long you've been away. I cannot recommend it, the other patrons, and Amy enough to both locals and visitors!
Excellent class! Sarah did a wonderful job :)
