Meet Our Yoga Instructors

Samantha Sherrill

Yoga Instructor

Samantha has always had a love of teaching. She has taught dance since she was 16 years old. Samantha started her yoga journey in college at USM many years ago as a way to relieve the stress of college life. Since then, her practice has grown into a lifelong journey. Yoga has brought Samantha a sense of balance and alignment in a chaotic world. Samantha has owned a children’s fitness and dance company since 2012, and has a passion for developing well balanced, physically and emotionally healthy children. She uses this passion to drive her yoga instruction from a place of compassion, understanding, and joy. Samantha’s greatest inspirations are found in her relationships with her husband, children, students and her reflections after many hours on the mat or at the gym. She believes everyone could benefit from having yoga in their life and she feels she is blessed to be a teacher who is always learning.

Tereza Ma

Yoga Instructor

My yoga journey began over 15 years ago with belly dancing, then Tai Chi before discovering yoga. After studying Tai Chi for a few years, I felt “great” – less stressed, better concentration, and emotional balanced. Everything was fine until the Tai Chi instructor left and the classes ended. I found myself exploring other exercises to find inner peace. Fortunately, a yoga class started up near my work. I quickly became committed. After practicing yoga for a period of time, I started to fully understand my physical and mental transformation. I became more calm, flexible, and felt FABULOUS. I discovered the more I practiced; the less I worried. My negative thoughts were replaced with a renewed focus on the breathing. After each class I had a sensational feeling of positive energy – accepting the natural beauty around us and liberating myself of matters beyond my control. Since reaching those fulfilling moments, I want to pass my “knowledge” and lead others on similar journeys.
