The COVID Yoga Teaching Style that should really Stick Around.
Samuel Palmer is a native Californian, raised by my single working mother in Napa before it became a worldwide name in the wine industry. Samuel has come to understand through his work as a teacher that so many of us have been told in some way that we are not good enough.
His first experience with yoga was in an actor training program and was offered as one of many body awareness exercises.
The practice enchanted Samuel. He was immediately able to feel his body in parts and as a whole from the inside out. He experienced his muscles working and his heart rate increasing, but in a way that was actually enjoyable.
Samuel wasn’t pitted against anyone else, he wasn’t being graded on how fast he could run. It was just sensation, breath, and his inner reactions.
He enrolled in a yoga class at his local community college, which provided a systematic approach to learning the postures and sun salutations.
When he moved to San Francisco at the age of 20, Samuel discovered his first vinyasa class and felt prepared for the rigorous movement and creative sequencing. Since that time he has studied multiple styles of the physical practice, with most of his focus being on body and sensation.
Through understanding, practice, and commitment we can change patterns that hold us back from living our most fulfilling life.
