2011 Yoga Intentions On Kauai
Happy New Year everyone! As I move forward into 2011 I intend to live life full from my heart. And when I fail, I intend to pause, to breathe deeply and try again. Will you join me?
Today I am honored to share a testimony from a student who was visiting Kauai from Alaska, a year ago now, and reconnected to me today with this beautiful email.
“Hi Sam! I still think about you and your most delicious yoga classes and have been eager to return to Kauai for them, (more…)
Pre-natal Yoga Classes On Kauai
I am so happy to announce that we are beginning a new session of prenatal yoga here in Kilauea, Kauai!
Classes will be specifically for pregnant mothers wishing to enjoy this blessed practice of yoga during this very special time.
I am so grateful I had my yoga practice during my pregnancy. It supported my body in being strong and open, my mind in being relaxed and calm. Additionally I was able to connect to my little one as as I consciously breathed for the 2 of us, as we moved together, and sweetly used meditation techniques to further deepen my connection to her too.
If you know any pregnant mother on Kauai, please spread the word. Fridays, in Kilauea Farms, from 4-5:15 pm starting October 30th.
Toddler Move and Groove
This co-ordination class infuses some of the basics from toddler dance, gymnastics and yoga into a fun-filled experience. Each class begins with basic warm-up exercises that blend into dance and playful movement. Coordination activities will vary each week, using props ranging from balls, floor beams, hula hoops and a parachute. Each class finishes with creative-yoga and quiet time. Parent participation will vary with each child’s needs. Parents will learn invaluable activities to continue nurturing their child’s love for dance and movement at home. Class tuition includes open play immediately following class.
Toddler Move N Groove class – Excellent! Good balance of interaction with teacher and parents…awesome skills they learn…Super fun teacher!

Mommy and Me
A class designed to bring moms together in a supportive environment, with their new babies, to recover, celebrate, and get their bodies in shape. We will focus on yoga postures in combination with other strength training disciplines such as pilates and gyrokenisis. Babies are not expected to “behave” in any way, so mom’s can relax in this supportive environment. Please bring a blanket for baby and quiet toys.
Pre-natal Yoga
Classes support hip opening postures, strengthening, flexibility, breath work and visualization exercises to connect to baby. This is a fabulous way to join with other pregnant moms in a very supportive and enjoyable environment geared specifically towards pregnancy.
We are currently in between sessions for pre-natal yoga on kauai. Please email me with your interest in days and times.
I enjoy taking Samantha’s class for because it’s easy enough to do, but not to easy. I enjoy the stretches combined with the meditations to connect with our babies and my body feels much lighter afterwards, especially my back which has been hurting a lot from pregnancy. I would definitely recommend Samantha’s prenatal classes. She is a joy to be around and learn from and has a gift of explaining clearly the movements more than any other yoga teacher I’ve taken class from. And you’ll feel so much better especially in the later stages of pregnancy.

Bodhi Boot Camp
This class combines YOGA POSTURES with MAT CONDITIONING exercises, strategically chosen from a multitude of disciplines such as Pilates and gyro.
Samantha designs each class to be extremely efficient & effective. You’ll awaken large AND small muscle groups, explore the balance between stability and mobility, and delight in playing your edge.
Choreographed to soft music, each class ends with a relaxing meditation. You’ll leave feeling physically integrated, energetically expanded, and mentally clear. All levels welcome!
The class is so unique and special that I drive 20 miles each way to take it. Combining yoga, tai chi, gyrokenisis and pilates makes the class challenging and more enjoyable then just taking one of the styles. I get a good stretch, workout and a good sweat. The mental and spiritual part of the class is great also. I wish you the best in Hawaii and I will make sure when I go to Hawaii I will take your class there.

Thank you so very much for an inspirational and extremely positive class format that encouraged me to stretch and strengthen my physical body, while maintaing a positive and heart felt energy flow thru my emotional being. I sincerely enjoyed Bhodi Bootcamp and look forward to experiencing class with Samantha Fox again. It was truly an enjoyable experience.

Thank you so much for your yoga class!! I’ve been feeling very disheartened by my post baby body as I have always been the athletic type and feel that I should be rebounding quicker. Obviously the powers that be have other plans…. and I think THIS is it. Although I have only done three of your classes I feel tremendously uplifted mentally (and REALLY sore physically, but in a good way!) I think the difference between this and my usual exercise routine of jogging and bike riding is there isn’t that competative element and I am allowed to be “in the moment” where as with running or riding I’m always pushing my body to go further or faster. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!

What an awesome work out. I was definitely feeling it after class, but in a good way. Samantha is an inspirational teacher who guides you to push yourself at your level. I would definitely would do it again!

Anusara Yoga
Samantha’s extensive studies, personal experience and dedicated practice are evident in her teaching. It’s the very thing that fuels the fire her classes seem to take on. Samantha is a master at gently guiding you to your threshold and inviting you to consider going further. I find myself not only physically challenged but also, tapped into something bigger. I seek out Samantha’s classes to, reconnect with mySelf, build strength and flexibility, and to feed the inspiration to live a happier healthier life. Namaste.

Samantha earns respect from her students by treating them as individuals. When Samantha is your Anusara yoga instructor, you can expect to feel that you and she are alone in the studio, working as one. Taking time to be sure that her students are properly aligned and understand the methods and meaning of the Anusara yoga practice, while instilling confidence in each individual, makes Samantha Fox a leader in her vocation.

For the last 15 years I felt that Yoga was “not my thing.” After trying one of Samantha’s classes, I soon learned that the instructor that teaches the class makes all of the difference in the world. Samantha’s knowledge of the body and yoga technique made taking her class a privilege. I have taken other yoga classes from instructors that do not correct technique, when your technique is corrected and the proper pose is achieved one’s whole sense of being is improved. Simply stated; learning from Samantha has made Yoga “my thing.”

Teacher, hope you are well and are very homesick. Just kidding, we were talking about you over the weekend and decided that we miss you very much. You are a great teacher and we appreciated the way you took the time to explain all the poses, breathing, and thought that goes into the practice of yoga.
