Sam Rao. A life of yoga
Sam Rao, a Senior Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance Professionals, has developed a world-class yoga school that concentrates on teaching excellence, developing supportive teacher communities, and promoting yoga as an integral part of everyone’s daily health routine.
Born into an Indian family in Uganda, Sam has led a multi-national lifestyle, having lived, studied and taught all over the world. Encouraged by his father, Sam began his yoga journey as a child, but it wasn’t until he suffered an injury to his back as an adult, that he found himself turning to yoga as a serious practice.
“I am very interested in understanding the human body and how the regular practice of yoga can benefit and affect the body, mind and spirit.”
Sam teaches with enthusiasm, and brings warmth and clarity to his explanations, enabling his students to easily visualise and work with the body. His unique style of teaching unites pupil and teacher in an atmosphere of fun and wellbeing. He’s also well known for his attention to detail and precision in postures, at all times encouraging his students to extend their potential and to work through their perceived limitations.
Practical teaching
“Teaching from day one can be quite a daunting experience. However, by doing this my experience in teaching postures and my confidence grew considerably. I learned to teach yoga in a wonderfully supportive and fun environment. Many of my fellow students remain friends today, also providing a great support network.” Graduate 2019
Support and guidance
“Being accepted onto the Teacher Training course was the beginning of a wonderful, rewarding journey for me. Not only does the school offer fantastic teacher training but also a support network which begins from day one. Sam recognised my lack of self confidence and gently empowered me to get out there and teach. I’m delighted to have learned to teach at such a friendly, supportive, nurturing school.” Graduate 2016
