An Interactive Experience of Yoga History & Philosophy
When I took my first yoga teacher training, the lesson on the history of yoga was devastatingly boring. The instructor drew a line on a chalkboard and lectured for more than two hours. I remember thinking if I ever taught this subject, it would be so different! Could yoga history and philosophy actually be fun?! YES! You’ll be moving, meditating, listening to stories, and sharing your thoughts as you explore the many branches of Yoga and its literature dating back to the Pre-Vedic times. Discover the paths that led us to our current yoga experience!

Samantha Sambrooke
Yoga Teacher
I stepped into my first Yoga class over 20 years ago. Wow how my practice and understanding of Yoga has changed since then! I completed my first Yoga certification in 2009 with YogaLife in India. Since then I have accumulated over 4000 training hours. I am a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), a graduate of Yoga North International Soma Yoga Institute, an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance (E-RYT at the 500-hour level) and a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN).Along the way I have also completed an 800-hour Yoga history and Philosophy program, Yoga-Nidra Levels 1 and 2 as well as Yoga-Nidra for Children through Traditional Yoga Studies (Brenda and Georg Feuerstein), a year-long Mastery of Mantra training with Russill Paul and Ayurveda, Chakras and more with Indu Arora. Above all, I am a student first and humbly take space within this tradition of Yoga with reverence and sincerity. I currently work as a Yoga Therapist and Nutritionist at the Serene View Ranch, a multi-disciplinary clinic on PEI that focuses on treating mental health issues, especially trauma related difficulties. I also lead workshops and trainings focusing on mental health, Yin, Ayurveda and more. I have been a guest presenter for many events and festivals on the island and beyond.
