~ Samantha Garstin

I really cannot praise Samantha and this yoga class highly enough. Samantha offers various modifications for each movement to ensure that all abilities are catered for. As someone who has many restrictions of movement, I am always amazed at how much I manage to achieve with the right encouragement and correct demonstrations, and even more surprised at how good I feel the next day! I am certain that attending these classes has helped to keep me more mobile over the last 18 months or so. Thank you Sam!

Audrey Capon

Samantha is an amazing and lovely teacher, who listens to your needs and adjust her classes to them! She prepares beautiful sequences and combines it with a lot of smiles and funny humour. Make sure to check out her Root & Rise membership too, where you can get back to her teaching anytime you need to.

Gosia Ogorek

Such a wonderful yoga teacher, despite feeling I am a somewhat inflexible person, Samantha devised some incredible flows for me, taking into consideration my specific needs & ability. I have thoroughly enjoyed the early part of my yoga journey & wholeheartedly have Samantha to thank for that.

Julie Seal

Samantha is an amazing person and a wonderful yoga teacher. Her presence is grounding and her flows are full of creativity and always new. Thank you so much! 🙂

Lena Riemann

Samantha took great trouble to ascertain my specific needs and delivered a great programme for me. It was fun and thoroughly enjoyable and I knew I’d had a workout by the end! I highly recommend her, she is very knowledgeable and I am sure you will benefit from her sessions.

Selina Kelly

Samantha is a fantastic instructor! Being a busy mum of 2 young boys, her classes are perfect for me to enjoy around my childcare. She adapted her flow to allow for my healing knee injury and focused on stretches that I feel I need the most. She is so patient and everything is so well explained. I can’t recommend her enough, she’s so down to earth and super fun, and I’m really enjoying her lessons.

Salli Kidson

Samantha is a truly wonderful teacher. She has such a calming presence and her classes are intelligently created for all levels to enjoy. Highly recommend 🙂

Savannah Humphreys

I thoroughly recommend the videos! They are enjoyable and motivating. As a person in horticulture, with muscular imbalance, I'm already feeling the benefits of whole-body workouts to correct this! Well done Samantha!

Vanessa Thronton

Your body is like a rollercoaster every month, with ups and downs that can make you feel like you're on a wild ride. Some weeks you might be pumping iron like Arnold Schwarzenegger, while other weeks you're struggling to lift a spoonful of peanut butter to your mouth {Just me? It's my fave go-to snack, straight off the spoon!}

But fear not, my friend! These energy fluctuations are totally normal! It's not that for some reason you are failing, or not doing enough. Your hormones crate energy fluctuations that don't match the linear stream of energy the external world expects of you.

And Root & Rise is here to help you ride the wave! Each practice is designed to work WITH your body's natural rhythm. So instead of beating yourself up, you can groove your way with mother nature to find more ease and flow in your movement. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good excuse to spice things up and try some fresh moves?

Questions I get asked a lot.

Before I answer this I just want to say, you do not need to be flexible to do yoga! You just need to start where you are, as you are.

You don't need to have done yoga before to join the membership, by nature of the way I have designed the membership there are some challenging classes and some slower, gentler classes. If you have done any form of exercise class and are used to using your body in a creative way like dance, aerobics, gym class, keep fit, at home work out etc you will feel quite comfortable. If you have never done any movement class ever, it might be a little bit of a learning curve, but definitely something you can learn. Even if you can't touch your toes!

There are lots of workshops to help you find your feet with the more complicated postures and I always give variations and modifications in every class to suit different body and mobility types.

I always encourage everyone to share in the community if I have not given a variation that suits you and then I can give you more tailored modifications so that you can grow your practice.

Yes, you can cancel at any time. After you cancel, your membership will run until the end of the payment period you chose. After it has ended you are free to come back to join another time.

In an ideal world, a mat, 2 blocks, and an extra-long strap, please contact me for recommendations before you invest, but really all you need is a floor space to get started.

No problem, for whatever reason you don't have a cycle or it is irregular you can learn to chart the cycle you do have or cycle with the moon.

Moving in sync with our body through the cycle phases helps to nourish us by working with our bodies rather than against them. If you're interested in this, let me explain some about it here > more here....

About Me

Yoga has changed everything for me, I just love to move my body! Sometimes my practice doesn't even look like yoga, some days it's more like interpretive dance, and somedays I might just breathe. I am an eternal student, driven to find new ways to practice and expand my knowledge.

My menstrual cycle has also been a key player in shaping how I feel in the world, after having my last coil removed I felt compelled to explore my feminine energy as I reclaimed my cycle. The ancient wisdom of menstruality resonated with me deeply and I knew that this was my path.

My yoga practice began about 10 years ago. After years of pushing myself to the limits both in mind and body, my early practice created such a profound shift, that it left me totally hooked! Yoga is more than movement, it is a practice of being connected to your body with awareness, conscious intention and mindfulness. And this is what I love to bring to my teaching.

I have a variety of formal training, which pulls from numerous styles in the yoga system as well as various functional range techniques. I trained with The Sacred Fig and am certified as a Vinyassa teacher, registered with the Yoga Alliance.

I blend a style of traditional yoga systems and functional movement methods along with my own twist of cyclical wisdom to offer a varied practice that helps my students move with more freedom, ease and flow both on and off the mat.

I am also a certified Cycle Coach and Menstrual Wellness Educator mentored by Claire Baker, which offers a unique blend of experience to help my students move with the rhythm of their natural energy cycles.

I live the practice of being connected to my body and its cycles to help me stay consciously and mindfully, aware of myself and who I am in the world every day. My own body has been one of my biggest teachers!

I walk my talk and live what I preach. So much of what I am able to share has been informed by my own experiences, I live it every day, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep!

I am guided and comforted daily by an internal compass which has led me on a journey of self-exploration both on and off the mat. The marriage of Yoga and Cyclical Living has changed my life in ways I never thought possible and for that, I am deeply grateful.

Are you ready to feel this for yourself? To feel empowered and body confident and to be ready for whatever life throws at you?

Ok, you sold it, I'm in!
