Charleene Sams

Charlene A. Sams, a 500 hr graduate of yoga teacher training from Empowered Yoga, Reiki Master, former vocalist, and Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, combines natural talents with the understanding of movement principles to give the student the best and safest experience to be achieved on the mat, starting from where they are. With calm, peaceful tones, she inspires the practitioner to completely engage in every aspect of their experience. Leaving no pose unexplored, the discoveries are lessons learned on the mat.
