My colleagues and I had the opportunity to work with Sam for a 25 minute team building session. When I contacted Sam she made sure to inquire about what my goal was and what we wanted to accomplish during our time together. She certainly is an expert in her field because after our session, EVERYONE had nothing but positive things to say! I highly recommend her for any activities you may want to plan - she is sure to make great recommendations and build the perfect program for your needs. We had some yoga, breath work, intention setting and even an Ice breaker all within the session! Thank you Sam for your soothing and insightful session.

I had the pleasure of working with Sam during my time as Lifestyle Director at Society Las Olas - a high rise community in Ft Lauderdale with over 700 units. Once a month Sam brought Cafe Namaste to the property and with it a sense of community and well being that residents loved! Her event consisted of mindfulness, intention setting, and meditation, curated vendors and vegan treats, as well as an incredible vinyasa class tailored to all levels that left everyone feeling renewed & rejuvenated. Sam is an incredible yoga teacher, leader, and role model. Her talent is displayed in her capability of efficiently running large scale events with organization and care, all the way to teaching one on one intimate sessions. I highly recommend working with Sam!
I've had the pleasure of working with Sam here at Society Las Olas. We are one of the largest luxury social communities here in downtown Fort Lauderdale with over 700 apartments and over 900 active residents. We aim to provide memorable experiences so our residents make the most out of their experience living here. Sam inspires positivity and community to each of our residents at every Cafe Namaste event at Society Las Olas. The event has continued to grow each and every month, especially with Covid-19 restrictions being lifted. She not only is a wonderful Yoga instructor, but she also collaborates with local businesses and showcases them at each event. These small businesses range from local restaurants to small batch candle and essential oils. We even had the pleasure of bringing complimentary massages to our residents during these wonderful events. Sam Reynolds is an absolute gem to work with!
I'm the events manager at X Miami, a social apartment community that hosts monthly events and fitness classes for its residents. Having Sam as a vendor was an absolute pleasure! Her brand Cafe Namaste was loved by all of our residents and brought a sense of community to our building. As a vendor, she's completely self sufficient and organized. She teaches an amazing yoga class that's great for all levels. She has many connections around the community and brings local vendors on-site such as vegan restaurants and hand-made boutiques. She also invites guest speakers to talk to our residents and connect with them on a deeper level. On another note, she can also organize events outside of her Cafe Namaste brand, which speaks volumes of her versatility and adaptability. Overall, Sam is a complete breath of fresh air in Miami. I cannot recommend her enough for Cafe Namaste and other events.
Our Group Yoga session on the beach in Miami during my "girls' get-away" weekend was the highlight of our trip! Everyone who was apart of the experience agreed. Samantha has a great connection with people and certainly the yoga expertise to calm the mind and encourage the spirit to connect to the breath. The class was perfect for all levels- we walked away feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead of us! Highly recommend having her teach your private group class- thank you Sam!

I so look forward to Sam's classes at The Kampong! Sam is a skilled and masterful teacher. Her vinyasa classes transition seamlessly from one pose to the next. The alfresco setting could not be more beautiful as are the gardens. Her yoga for a cause is a heartfelt reminder that there is always something we can be doing to make the world a better place and Sam is doing a lot! My friends and family who I've invited to join me, also love Sam's teachings and classes at The Kampong.
When I first decided to take her class it was a yin yoga. Yin is a deep stretch and relaxing type of yoga which is why Sam is the perfect instructor for a yin class with her calming voice and personality. I always left her class feeling at peace with myself and able to get a good night sleep. I then started to take her other classes which was more of a vinyasa type. Here, Sam has helped me with yoga poses I thought I would never be able to do. She also from time to time teaches a hand stand class for beginners. Most yoga classes I find intimidating since everyone already knows how to do advance moves but Sam is so inviting.
Sam is everything you want in an expert yoga instructor: smart, calm, caring, instinctive, and welcoming. As someone who had rarely taken a yoga class before meeting her, I’ve now made it a priority to see her at least once a week because her classes are a safe space that challenge you as much as they relax you--stretching your mind, body, and soul in the most nourishing way possible…[continue reading]
Went to Sam’s Deep Stretch and Release yoga class…. What a treat! Sam’s approach and whole vibe is perfect for this type of yoga. It was a great introduction to yin yoga for me and how it differs from restorative yoga. Sam explains everything so well. The class was relaxing, but at the same time left my muscles and joints feeling revitalized because of the deep poses and stretches. Felt very healing. The perfect antidote to any type of stress. Can’t wait for the next one!!
There are countless people out there making a positive difference through yoga, Sam is one of them. She is passionate about sharing her love of yoga with others and selflessly dedicated to someone else’s success. Her classes offer everyone the chance to be upside down in a fun and safe way. She uses core integration and alignment and guide you to take charge of your mind with awareness. With a kind smile, she reminds you that yoga can help you make changes in your life. Her classes are divine and packed with a lot of wisdom.
I first took Sam's monthly class at The Kampong in Coconut Grove and was immediately hooked on her teaching. Every class I've gone to of hers has been inspiring, challenging, fun, and relaxing all at once. Sam is also great about switching things up so you don't feel like you're always in the same flow, and she gives numerous options to modify depending on your skill level. I highly recommend anyone who has the opportunity to practice under Sam to do so, even if you're brand new to yoga.
