"Samantha, you always say to be thankful that there are two sides of our bodies when we are sweating through a physically challenging practice. I thank you for helping me to nurture both sides. But I especially want to thank you for guiding me through the joyful work of polishing the multiple facets of my complicated life. My heart feels newly radiant like a brilliant diamond. I feel empowered to maintain this practice on my own, wherever I may be. Thank you teacher." -Veronica - Reno, Nevada

"That was such a good workshop! I learned so much and did things I never thought I could. I feel very blessed to have such an aspiring & spiritual teacher in Sam." -Margo, Kauai

"Your class on Saturday was wonderful! I truly enjoyed it! I loved how you incorperated journal writing, seeing my thoughts written in front me was a reality check. I always think about the lil things that I'm grateful for and those I need to forgive but only for a sp...lit second then I throw in the back of my mind. And never find time to think about it again. Writing it down made it seem real. I woke up this morning (Sunday) feeling at ease and content with myself, (instead of stressed). Also the physical portion kicked my butt, my body is sore but in a beautiful way! This class was awesome!!!! Thanks!!!" -Tanya, Kauai

"Samantha's prenatal class is just what I need right now, at 23 weeks pregnant. It is a combination of strengthening poses and AMAZING relaxation poses that are easing the tension in my lower back so much! The manual adjustments are from heaven! Thank you" -Amanda Baker, Kauai

"In the 9 years that I have been practicing Yoga I have never been to a class as fulfilling as my first class with Samantha. It was like she intuitively knew what my body, mind and spirit needed. She is such a wise and talented teacher, guiding you through poses in a whole new way. Her classes will transform your practice and leave you feeling energized and inspired." -Katie Burkett, Kauai

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.

- Patti Burke Gunderson Grandville, MI

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.”

- Laurie Tallman, Southern CA

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.

- Bryant, Grand Rapids, MI

“This is my AMAZING yoga teacher who has changed my life! LOVE HER AND THE PRACTICE…like for real.” -Maggie Gistinger, Ann Harbor, Michigan

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.

- Richard, L.A., California

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.

- Marni Kaduce mother, LMT, dancer, & vibrational healer, Kauai

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!!!

- Kathleen, Kauai

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!

Jadah, Kauai

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.

- Miranda Dornfeld, Kauai

“Feel so blessed to have taken Samantha’s prenatal yoga class. She pays close attention to every detail so that you get the most out of every pose. I felt amazing after ending each class with a delicious restorative pose. Highly recommend to any momma to be. ” -Crystal, Kauai

Toddler Move N Groove class – Excellent! Good balance of interaction with teacher and parents…awesome skills they learn…Super fun teacher!

- Mom of 3 year old daughter

“In the past year, I have taken yoga classes with at least 25 different teachers. Samantha is by far the best. She is the most knowledgeable, the most attentive and the most mindful. She knows a lot about fitness, bodies, anatomy and health. She really observes her students closely and sees what they are doing well and how they can improve, gently guiding them to a better practice. She is very creative in describing the techniques and purposes of each motion and position, so that I could really visualize the goals and processes. And she is great at guiding intentions and aspirations for your practice. Take classes with Samantha. You will love it. I can’t wait to get back to Kauai and practice with this fantastic teacher!” -Philip Coladonato, world traveler

In the past 8 years my husband and I have been to Kauai 4 times. Every visit has been amazing but our last was the most memorable. When I met Samantha our entire perception changed. I had recently completed my yoga teacher training before arriving in Kauai. The training had an Anusara influence and I was interested and curious for more. When I found Samantha in Kilauea I felt as tho I had discovered a pot of gold! Her class was on fire! There was so much love and joy in that class! It was palpable and we were addicted! She was able to guide my focus which intensified my practice. My husband had never taken a yoga class before but he was on board too! We couldn't get enough so we took a private lesson just before we left the island. We still talk about that lesson. Samantha was able to keep both of our levels at a pace comfortable for each of us but also challenged us. We learned about the importance of form and alignment and how to communicate that message to others. It was amazing. Since I've been back I have shared her tips with my friends and her teachings live on! I count the days of when I can return for another class but this time with all my friends! Thank you so much! -Namaste-Hyun Joo Kim Sylvester, Texas

I really my enjoyed my yoga sessions with Samantha during my stay in Kauai. I left class feeled centered, calm and in tune with my body. Sam is an excellent teacher and her lively spirit shines through! Combine the natural beauty of the island and awesome yoga with Samantha...well you just can't beat it. -Jake, Eugene, Oregon
